Great Adventure Trip #7...or is it #8? Honestly, I have gone so many times to Six Flags Great Adventure this year that I have lost count. The kids love there. My reward is seeing their happy faces and enthusiasm. And taking their photos. And making my scrapbook pages.

In this regard, I am exactly like my mom. (God bless her soul). She loved to take pictures. Good, bad, blurred she kept them all. She wanted to capture the moment for posterity. Often times, I would visit her and she'd be looking at her albums. I inherited her albums (about 50 of them) which I am supposed to go through and scan for my siblings. It is proving to be a gigantic endeavor. I am not so sure that I have the right scanner for these photos; I might need to upgrade the scanner to a better quality. I have an HPPSC@355 all in one photo printer, copier, scanner.

But I digress, here are lots of photos of the kids doing what they do best...

The weather today is heavenly. Blue skies, a gentle breeze, low humidy, no rain.

I dropped off the kids at summer camp and went to the lake for a quick walk and photos.

I also took a few minutes to do some blog reading, but sadly, I have tons of reading to do still.
Here are some samplers I saw and liked today.

Favor: Rachael's daughter is currently in Marine training. She is homesick. A quick note will cheer her up immensely. How about it, can you send her a quick "hang in there" note?! Tx.

100th Challenge Celebration @ SBG: Scraplift Amy Pearson

The Scrapbook-Graphics' crew is celebrating their 100th challenge. For this occasion, we chose to scraplift Amy Pearson (a/k/a Fannie) whose fabulous stock photos occasionally grace my pages.

She is not only a fabulous photographer, she is a fabulous scrapper, too. Her pages exude warmth and she often has the most loving journaling. Her children are going to cherish those pages in years to come. But enough gushing about her, let me show you my page. And if you want to see the rest of the pages we did, click here.

Inspired by Amy's layout titled "Exploring Nature."http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=30203
