Helping Me Search for #AvengersEvent Stuff

Photo-A-Day #3647

We started out the morning by getting in the car and all of us heading to the Y for Andrew’s swimming lesson. There were no lessons this week because of the Good Friday holiday. I wasn’t told anything last week and then I asked about signing up for lessons for next session only to find out that they had already started. So, we were out and had to figure out what we’d like to do. We decided to head to the Mall. I wanted to pick up a few things for the trip to LA next week.

We hit up Dunkin Donuts first because all the stores weren’t open yet. Then we took a walk over to Hallmark. There they had a bunch of Itty Bittys. These are cute little characters. Eva picked Tinker Bell and Andrew picked The Hulk. They loved them and hung onto them all the while we were at the Mall.

I found a few things to bring with me but one I have to bring back because it won’t work for what I wanted. I found what I wanted later on via Amazon.com. It should arrive right before I leave on the trip.

We returned home with a sleeping Andrew and then Eva and I worked on a project for the afternoon. We got a Think Fun Maker Studio set. We’re making a contraption with the materials and some recycled items.

Allison tells me that whenever the photographer or videographer at a wedding stands in front of me it means I have good instincts. I think it is because they like to stand in front of any guy who has a camera as big as theirs. Not that I’d ever get in the way of a professional photographer who is being paid for a wedding or event. I just seem to always grab the spot right behind the real photographer.

Last night Allison and I went to the wedding of her cousin Beth. We had a very nice time and got to spend that time with her parents, cousins, brother and Sister-In-Law, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The wedding was a very nice one and everyone had a great time. I took a bunch of photos but need to do some processing. They are all pretty grainy because I didn’t use flash so as not to disturb anyone. When I get a moment, not sure when, I’ll have to post those photos and the pajama party ones.

Yesterday was also Free Comic book day and I picked up books at Newbury comics as well as at Wild Time Comics. Wild Time is my local comic shop but occasionally something on my pull/sub list gets missed, this stinks because I pick up my books infrequently so I end up having to go somewhere else to find the books that got missed. Yesterday was a pretty good haul too.

We left Eva with our friends T.R. and Michael, they took her to dinner and she entertained them to no end. She also, thankfully, slept very well for them. We really appreciate that they took the time to help us. Apparently it also helped them work on their wedding plans as well.
