New Lens and Big E

Sorry it's been a while since I updated. Our internet has been down for a few days! Within that time I got my new camera lens, and we went to the Big E! First I'll show off some of the pictures I got on the day my new lens came. It creates some great blur, and opens up a wider aperture than the kit lens did, which it great. But it's hard to get pictures of large areas. Anyway, here are the pictures! Sorry for the overload!





I took a whole bunch of pictures like this. This one is my favorite because she got up on her tip toes...is ballet in her future?


She was really excited to show me this little stick she had found on the deck! Of course after she had shown it to me, it went straight towards the mouth! Silly goose, always keeping Mommy on her toes! I love that only the hand is in focus with this one!

We had a great time at the Big E yesterday with Jon Becky and Kyan! It was Lily's. Kyan's and my first trip to the Big E (unless I went when I was little, and don't remember. ) We ate lots of stuff that was bad for us, sampling everything that looked good. We ate maple candy, cider doughnuts, stuffed quahog clams, fried dough, fries, cotton candy, candy apples, American Flatbread pizza (local Vermont pizza place...check it out if you are ever in Burlington!), and the creme de la creme...fried oreos! (Though to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of them...to sweet for me...but Sean, Becky and Jon all loved them!) We saw lots of fun things too. We checked out all the State buildings (interesting fact we found out from Jon, each state's building is considered as actually territory of that state. So we were actually in Vermont yesterday! Nice to be "home" for just a little bit yesterday.). We also checked out the farm tent, walked through the petting zoo, and Sean and I road the Haunted Mansion ride (cheesiest thing ever! I think half of the spooks in it were broken! It was fun though!). It was a fun long day! Here are a few of the pictures. Unfortunately I forgot to switch my lens to the kit lens, so I didn't get any really great shots. Oh well!
