It seems like a distant memory now but we had a blast at the 2010 Capital City Bike Fest! I can’t even remember how many times I walked up and down Fayetteville St. shooting photos. Vans shoes may be great for gripping BMX pedals but they are not made for walking! We were exhausted on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to check us out and a big thanks to Mike who helped us set up and tear down!

One of my favorite opportunities of the weekend was participating in the Patriot Ride on Friday. I got to ride in the limo with two combat wounded vets and shoot pictures of the long line of bikes through the limo sunroof! Very cool. Check out a few of my favorites from the weekend below.

In preparation for the upcoming Capital City Bike Fest we got some shots of Mike’s Sportster. I have a few shots of him with the bike but since he won the Sportster class at the Ray Price open house earlier this year I thought it would be cool to shoot just the bike. The changes to his bike are subtle but make a big difference compared to a stock bike. If you are into motorcycles you should check out the event this weekend in downtown Raleigh. Stop by our booth and say hi. Jatana will be there at least. I’ll be running around taking pictures.

If you have boys then you know they have some energy. Lots of energy! What better way to burn off some of that energy than getting a bunch of them together with a home made (the best kind) slip’n slide. First Baptist Garner Royal Ambassadors kicked off the new year with a slip’n slide on church campus.  I think they had fun. :)

For those not familiar with RAs, it’s a missions based group for boys in 1st through 5th grade. We do fun things like camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities all while learning about missions and reaching people at home and abroad with the gospel of Christ. If you have a boy that might be interested feel free to get in touch with me or come check us out on Wednesday nights at First Baptist in Garner (there’s also a group for the girls called GAs).

I can’t believe the summer is almost over and we have a second grader! We are so thankful he enjoys going to school (most of the time).

And there’s Andrew. His preschool starts next week. I didn’t get a shot of it but when he got back in the van after dropping off Luke he was real quiet and a little sad. So sweet.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to cover the Ride for the Red event put on by the American Red Cross.  The event started at Ray Price Harley Davidson in Raleigh and ended at Locked and Loaded in Garner.  Even though it was hot (Tarzan hot!) they had their most successful year to date with 69 bikes participating. I was happy to be a part of it. Check out some of my favorites below.
