Oh Those Hurricane Days

Down here in the south, we don't get snow days. Instead, we get days off for hurricanes.

By the time this posts, I will be getting ready for my first day back in classes after a refreshing 6 day break (courtesy of Isaac and Labor Day).

Hurricanes are serious things, and my thoughts and prayers go out to those whose families etc. were affected.

My area, however, received very little storm at all during our "hurrication" as some were calling it.

So, after a few days of nothing all too interesting, a few friends who stayed in town and I headed over to one of the 3+ local plantations. This one wasn't anything too special, but I got a few nice pictures anyway :)

I'm sure you can tell by some of the pictures, but it was hot as who-knows-what outside that day. I have no idea how I managed to convince both Denver and Hector to get so dressed up to go out in the heat.

Let me know what you thought about the pictures, I love feedback :)

I'll make it up to you.

I have internet accesss, I have my computer, and I have my camera.

But! I'm about 900 miles away from home visiting my sister and her family. So, naturally, I don't really feel like spending a bunch of time waiting for pictures to upload :)

I'll make it up to you somehow! By my next turn I will be moved back into school and maybe I can put something a little special together.

Wishing everyone a nice August (and end of summer for those to whom that applies)!

Branson, Missouri! {{A Friday Post by Carolyn}}

  Long time no post!  :P  I am seriously so, so, so, sorry.  Time has gotten away from me, I've forgotten to post, I've just . . . been rather terrible about FTP.  And I really am sorry, guys.

  Well, to make up for that, you're going to see my vacation pictures!  I can't post all of them, as some of them have my cousins in them and such. :]  But, be expecting LOTS of pictures.  XD

  On our way to Branson, there were these beautiful limestone bluffs.  Want to know how they got there?  Before the roads were here, it was just limestone upon limestone.  Then they carved it away and made our roads!  Quite a process!  :D

  As you can see, they go on and on.  They're very pretty.  :]

Sorry that some of these are pretty blurry.  I was sitting in a moving car.  XD

  At Branson Landing {a place to shop} there's this water show with this fountain that's set to music.  It's SO cool!  If you look closely, you can see a little rainbow!

  My cousin's wet TOMS.  Yes, she's younger than me, and she has TOMS.  It's because they were her mom's, but they didn't fit her, so she gave them to her!  :D  But we got SPRAYED by the fountain!  It was so fun!  :]


  So, look forward to more posts from me!  :D


  Which picture was your favorite?  Comment below!

A.J.'s First (by A.J.)

Hi girlies!  A.J. here.  I haven't had much time to take pictures for you guys lately, so I only have two.  They were both taken on my vacations.

 (If that's too big, please tell me!)

That picture was taken in Williamsburg, Virginia.  I love how the ivy looks so pretty around the stream.

This was taken behind my resort on Hilton Head Island, SC.  I love this picture because the reflection on the water is so clear it almost looks like a mirror.  (I'm really sorry, it's sideways. :P)

I wish I could have posted more pictures for you guys. :)  

Until next time, 

<3 A.J.
