Duck Season!

Well, Last Thursday, 4/9/2009 we took the Kiddos to the Coney Island Aquarium.. What a Blast! We also renewed our membership to the WWF for Unlimited access to all the parks.. It only costs $120 for the Family premium.. It covers the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, All the Botanical Gardens as well. Well worth it! As I go, I will post more Shots.. If there are any shots you would like Hung on your Wall.. Email me..

And Yes.. Julia Kissed the Seal!

Rabbit Season!

Hello once again,

Finally the weather is getting nice.. Kaitlyn was signed up for MTC ( Masters Training Course) at her Tae Kwon Do School. Basically, she will be learning Brazilian Jujitsu, Nun chucks, and Basic Grappling moves etc.. Also she will be starting her training for an Open form, Basically, it will be her own form that she will preform at other Shows and tournements. All this along with her Black Belt training. She is really into this, It sounds like it is a lot and it is, But she is having a Ball with it all. She actually looks forward to going to class. Real exciting stuff!









Here are a few recent shots of Mikey. He is turning out to be a little Ham when the camera is out..

On another note, I picked up a new to me Lens.. She is a Mint Nikon 80-200 F2.8D. I took about 200+ shots with it already and fell in love with it.. I have some editing to do, once I finish I will post a few shots..

I got the lens at Cameta Camera in Amityville, NY.. That place wreaks havoc on my wallet every time I go there.. Check them out, They not only sell High End SLR but also a huge selection of Point and Shoots too..

Wednesday T.K.D. and Diner Night!

Here we are for our Diner dash after Kaitlyn's Tae Kwon Do Class.. She had her Stripe Test today (basically a test to make sure she knows what she is doing in class), She passed ( She better have, the tournament is next week and she is performing her forms..) so next is the High Red black belt.. Then on to Black Belt in about a year or so! The guy at the diner saw me taking pics and asked if he can fire one off.. so I gave him the camera and he took a shot of all of us.. Enjoy todays pics!
