Hello everyone! I have some fun news. A dear friend who I've known over 13 years bought me the purple (digital) camera that I had been wanting. It was a birthday gift to me! We also went to Leann Chin to eat and to Coldstone Creamery for dessert. (This was on Thursday.) Soo...I did my best to take some pictures this weekend. I met my friend K from Wisconsin at the Mall of America for lunch on Saturday. She was with her 2 kids, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and 2 nephews. 
This is K. holding her daughter, meeting the Shark mascot from Underwater World. I have another pic of the daughter. I did not ask permission to post her daughter's pic so I am just showing this one.
This is a far-away shot of K.'s son and nephew on the Kiddie Bumper Cars. Yes the Amusement Park is full of Nickelodeon characters! Okay now to the pictures from today (Sunday). It was my city's Cinco De Mayo celebration (weather conditions did not allow it to occur last Monday). My boyfriend's church had a children's praise and worship performance there. One of the songs they sang in Spanish was "Shout to the Lord," one of my favorite songs! Here are 2 pictures from their performance.  
I took 2 other pictures at the Cinco De Mayo, one of them was blurry, though I am still learning with the camera! 
Interesting vendor sign! 
Pony rides. I also got together with my friend J. this afternoon. Here she is with her dog, S. I like how this turned out! 
I hope you liked my update and I hope there will be many more fun updates to come with help from my new camera. Michelle |
