Go, Bluejackets!!!

OK, everybody knows I'm not a huge sports fan; not since Dino Ciccarelli played for the North Stars, and that was because we only had one TV ( poor newlyweds ).  BUT when our hometown hockey team goes to state for the first time in 7 years, WOO-HOO!!

Bill took his annual trip to Minneapolis to watch the games and catch up with hockey buddies he sees once a year at the tournament.  AND, he's probably doing a little reminiscing about the Glory Days. Below are a few photos from oh, about 38 years ago when his team won the state tournament.  I think you can pick him out of the lineup.

Lucky number 13.

Look at that boyish charm!

Just in case there are any fans out there who would like to watch that 1973 championship game, we've got the WHOLE GAME on video.  Right, Dave and Jeremy?

And, what have we here?  Well, it's a couple of enthusiastic hockey fans all decked out in their blue jackets.

HEY -  HO -  LET'S   GO !!!

Freeze Frame

The time has come for me to do some serious camera shopping.  I have been looking at new cameras for quite some time, but they all look so high tech!  My point and shoot is great for inanimate objects, but terrible for indoor people shots.

We visited Finley ( oh, and the rest of her family )  last weekend, and I just wanted to get one clear picture of her sweet smiling face. 

Even she is praying this shot turns out so she can quit modeling.

I've learned that capturing an active baby's smile with my point and shoot is just about impossible.  Here are a few more of the images from our rather unsuccessful photo shoot.

Most of these images are slightly blurry when viewed in full size.

Even Gunner refused to cooperate.

Time to check out my favorite blogs for camera tips.  Any suggestions as to which SLR camera you think I would be able to figure out on my own will be much appreciated.
