We went to the Ice Castle in Silverthorne this weekend, it was one of the greatest days I've had in a long time! We took our old foreign exchange student - perhaps I will stray from this story for just a bit to explain why she is "old". We had a foreign exchange student, Michelle. She and our son Nick decided to date... Not a great idea in the eyes of the foundation that brought her here, so she had to go live in another home. It was a very hard time for all of us, especially Makaela and Aidan (they were really too young to understand why.) I really wish it could have been a different way, it is very hard to see her in another home doing the things we planned on doing with her. We do try to spend time with her, but it has been hard between our schedule and her new families schedule. So, that is why she is our "old" foreign exchange student.
This is Michelle (on the left) and her friend Sophie (on the right), aren't they so cute???
Michelle, Makaela, Aidan and Sophie.
Makaela took this shot and I think it is fabulous!
There are a few things that I find I love to photograph, things I never thought about photographing until I do. One of these things is candy apples. I LOVE to photograph them! They are so colorful, creative and yummy looking. The funny things is I haven't eaten a candy apple since I was a kid. I had promised Makaela one before she got braces, but then we couldn't find any and now she can't have one - so sad! I may just change my focus and open a candy apple photography studio... Yeah, probably not.... It sure would be different though.
