Blinded by the Light

One negative side effect of our adventure to the corn maze was that the screen on our digital camera  broke: it just showed a blank, white screen.  We ordered a new one (well a used, new-to-us one) but since Grandma Ferne is visiting and it hadn't arrived yet, David and I tried to use the old one anyway.  Which meant we were shootin' blind.

Surprisingly, some of them turned out okay--but there's this golden glow to all the photos we took.

See what I mean?  During our adventure to the Madison Children's Museum, the water room--his favorite!--seemed cathedral-like and holy.  He certainly "baptized"himself--by dunking his whole head in the water.  Luckily, we had a towel in the car.

THE MCM is so cool. Here he is in one of the huts: there were all sorts of drums, tambourines, and such here.  Our annual pass is probably the best investment we made this year (clearly, we're not stockbrokers).

A Hitchcockian shot of him and Daddy going up the stairs.

Isaac and Daddy going through the tunnel.  Since David's afraid of heights--and Isaac looooves them--it might be that Daddy's hand on Isaac's back is as much about reassuring himself as it is for his son's sake. 

Someone was tired afterwards...

I'm glad we got a couple shots worth saving, but I'm even happier that when we returned home, our new camera had arrived.  Let's hope the third one's a charm.
