A Walk in the Park

Later Sunday afternoon (after I took a 2 hour nap...while Edgar took care of Eli. Thanks daddy!) we went to the park. This was a different park than we normally go to, so it was fun to see a new place. I went for a run while Edgar took Eli for a walk, and then he played with him in a big field that was at the park.
I was able to run about 4.25 miles-it's an estimate. I ran for 50 minutes, so I'm hoping I went at least that far :) It felt really good to be running that far. The weather was amazing. We went from unseasonably hot to unseasonably cold overnight. It was wonderful.
Oh...so about the camera...on Saturday our friend took pictures of Eli (I still have to work on those...that post might be a while coming...) When we got there she said she had something for me. Well, she started off with a Canon Rebel xti a while back and just recently bought a nicer camera (don't know the type...). She knew I had been saving up for a SLR camera, so she said I could borrow her old one until I got mine. I just about jumped out of my skin! I was SO excited! SO...ya thought I took a lot of pictures before! Now I have (on loan...) an even nicer camera, and I'm learning how to use it :)
Edgar is also learning how to use it as well-the camera is really for both of us :) Here are some shots he took while I was running.

This last one is the one I posted earlier today...I just brightened it a bit.

We thoroughly enjoyed this park...and plan on going back again. The path is super nice, and it had a boardwalk that goes out over the river. Lots of places to take pictures...and play with our son :)
