Vacation to Idaho

We went to Idaho a few weeks ago. I was so proud of myself for remembering to bring our camera and video camera. I was excited to get pictures so I could post them on the blog. Since our most recent photo is from like a year ago. The day we get to Idaho I find out our memory card for the camera is pretty much full. Out of the 10 day trip I got to take 5 pictures, and not one of Eric and I. Let me tell you why. I would walk out of the house thinking that I didn't look too bad. I would take this opportunity to get a picture of Eric and I since I looked decent. Every freakin' picture I took I looked like someone had just punched me in the stomach. I am not kidding. I looked like I was in pain or maybe constipated. It was horrible!!! One eye would be smaller than the other. My mouth looked like I had had a stroke and half of my face couldn't move. My posture was all weird. It was awful. I wanted to cry! Even when other people took pictures I would have the same face. I was so frustrated. Finally I gave up and didn't want my self-esteem lowered anymore so I took pictures of scenery. I have come to the conclusion I am not a photogenic person, and that's alright.
Then I thought well at least I have the video camera. Yup, I forgot to bring a tape. I was really annoyed. Besides all that, it was a great vacation. It's beautiful in Idaho. We went boating and my dad was skiing and detached his bicep. Funny story about that... He had to get surgery on it last week. When he was in the recovery room and the anesthesia was wearing off he told my mom that the key to running a good triathlon is to eat cinnamon toast. Crazy daddy.
