Sixes Photo Tag Challenge

The lovely Tasha tagged me the other day with a photo challenge that's doing the rounds ... so being curious ... I played along by following these rules.

"In the 6th folder, take the 6th picture and post it on your blog.

Write something about the picture.

Challenge 6 new people to join this challenge."

I opened up the 6th folder and this is the 6th piccie which made me smile as soon as I saw it as wonderful memories of a fun family day out, returned in a rush.

It is of my hubby and our 2 kiddlings enjoying the water flume ride at a theme park (the name of which escapes me right now) WAAAAAAY back in 2003.

You will not doubt recognise my photographic skills and note that sadly, they haven't improved any.

The 6 bloggy buddies I am targetting are ...

Ann

Jude

Queenie

Sarah

Irene

Jules

There's no pressure to join in ladies ... but if like me, you go and have a look at your snaps just out of curiosity ... then you may as well play along. It was worth doing just for the warm rush of lovely feelings ... just watch you don't get lost looking through all the folders you have like I did!.

Oh Poop!

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Day and I reckon Santa and Rudolph must've had to bring an extra sleigh to carry the piles of presents that were in our living room on Christmas morning!
Usually I video the kids opening their parcels, but this year I decided to get the digital camera out and take snapshots for a change. It's only a simple point and press camera, nothing complicated ... 'cos I don't do complicated ... so what could possibly go wrong?
Well LOOK!
I must've pressed a button without realising somewhere, sometime, somehow ... and as a result every single photo is 'ghosted' or shadowed or blurry.
They look a little spooky to me actually.

I'm really quite upset as I'd intended making a scrapbook for hubby with some of them as he missed out on all the excitement due to work.
Sorry I'm such a 'numpty' babe!

However ... all is not completely lost as he's due home later today (Monday) and as I kept a few extra presents aside for the kiddlings to open with him it means I get a 2nd chance. So while it won't be quite the same I'll hopefully manage to capture some decent piccies and redeem myself.
We're also going to have Christmas Dinner all over again ... whoo hoo! ... and maybe this time we'll get further than the starter and main course before surrendering to feeling stuffed!
Think I may've been a touch over zealous with the menu first time round as no one wanted any Christmas pudding ... or chocolate dessert ... or mince pies ... or cheese and biscuits ... or coffee and mints.

*********************************************
We were invited to my sister's on Saturday evening and we shared a super meal with my sister and niece before indulging in a little "after dinner Wii~ing!"

What a hoot!As you can see from these photos ... taken with the same camera ... there's no ghosting this time ... even though I hadn't changed any camera settings, as I didn't realise there was a problem until I uploaded them all.
Now THAT'S spooky!!
Hope you all enjoyed a fabulous Christmas, wherever you were and whatever you were doing.

The Pony Show

Took this photo at the Pony Show on Wednesday.


As I videoed her actual events I haven't got any photos of Naomi in action, (couldn't manage both cameras at the same time I'm afraid LOL), but here she is before her dressage wearing her new gear.

She didn't get placed in the dressage which was a bit disappointing, but went on to win a 2nd place in the show jumping so she was pleased at the end of the day.

Well done Naomi and Sparky. The speed and accurancy of your round was really exciting. Had no idea you were so brave!

I would love to show you some of the horses but I didn't think to ask permission from the owners so I'd best not. You can't be too careful these days.
