Family painting session
Last week, we had a family “painting” session. Held in Grapevine, TX this is a group painting class that teaches everyone to paint a specific scene or object. We selected to paint a pair of goldfish, viewed from the top down.
These sessions are a fun family group event, and usually includes a lot of snacks, wine, and laughter. Some of our activities shown below.

Grapevine Christmas lights
We’re parked in a very nice campground near Grapevine, TX. The city goes all out for Christmas lights, with the entire downtown decorated. Local stores are open late into the night, and crowds gather every nights. Tanya and Shane joined us for an impromptu tour of the Lights, and I took advantage to try a different camera (Olympus XZ-1). Here are some results.
All shots were handheld, most at ISO800. No captions are included, I figure you can see for yourself. I also included a picture of a motorcycle parked outside of Wilhoite’s, which made its own light show.
