Here’s a little video of Arthur and Lewis on Friday afternoon, Netta and Bailey’s birthday.

I just don’t think I could ever watch this video too many times. It’s especially lovely to remember now when we’re on the birth brink again.

This is a lovely little video Jeff, Si’s papa, took of Art and Si all tied up the other night in the backyard. It’s so funny.

Here’s Jessica email form the other night:

Boys are playing on what I think is my best train track ever! And just
walking around each and pushing their individual mish-mosh trains around.
Both kids have one piece of bullet train, one piece of recycling train and
lots of other hodge podge pieces. Art’s singing the Train Song from music
class while he goes around and around. You are on a horse.

Hey! You really are a stud! You’re on a horse just like the Old Spice guy!
I really got a winner.

And it’s true, I WAS on a horse. Shooting photos for a story on fun things to do with your kids. At one point my horse started galloping (I had tapped it with my heals in hopes of a trot) and I couldn’t stop it cause I was holding two heavy cameras in each hand. Funny and scary.

Here’s the funny ad Jessica was referencing:

So I just finished a somewhat brutal amount of work and stress producing 12 daily one minute videos from the Minnesota State Fair. It was actually a real fun challenge and something I feel good about looking back, but I was also a little unrealistic about the amount of time it would take (sorry Jessica!). Anyway, if you have 12 minutes, here they are in their entirety.

Jessica just shared this video on her facebook page, it’s really fun and wonderful.

I shot this today of a totally odd and fun event called a Flugtag. Basically a homeade planes crashing into the Mississippi River over and over from 30 feet. Except one actually flew!

(watch in full screen for maximum fun…)

This is quite a fun little viral video of a fellow enjoying a double rainbow at Yosemite. I think it’s hilarious and wonderful that he’s so moved. For some background on the guy here’s a story. And then below I posted another version of his video, AUTOTUNED!
