Christian Book Convention Part 1

I recently got to attend the International Christian Retail Show in Atlanta. This is where all the publishers bring their new books and authors are there to sign books. Christian book store owners come from pretty much all over the world to see what's new. There are also lots of gift items, t-shirts etc. Here are part of my convention pictures. Jasmine's favorite author, Karen Kingsbury. (To talk to and sing with, not to read!) Robin Hatcher My two princesses at the princess tea party. with popular Christian singer Britt Nicole (the pout is because I had to be somewhere else and Jessica had her) 3-2-1 Penguins Children and parenting author Mary Manz Simon Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer with the first book of their new series. Jasmine singing with Miss Patty Cake Author Randy Alcorn Christian fantasy author Bryan Davis Children's author Jeanne St. John

trying out a new camera

I'm trying out a digital camera before I really need it next week in Atlanta.

Happy 4th

Fourth of July on the beach. We always cook lunch on the beach but we aren't allowed to grill so we take the camp stove.





Kat and Jess in kayaks.


We think this is stornolophus meleagris, otherwise known as cannonball or cabbage head jelly fish. When we went out a ways in the kayaks we were surrounded by hundreds of them, and we brought a couple up to take photos of, then returned them.
