A Few from the Family Album

Some things they do make us very proud, other things...not so much.

Hanging out the rear window:

Matt, Christian & Nate. Mike behind the wheel, sporting a five day stache, that would take most homo sapiens six months to grow.

Water in Motion

Taken under a bridge to minimize overhead light from the sky. I tried slower shutter speeds, but this gave me the closest thing to what I was looking for.
