Shoooting ~ A few things this past weekend

Well, this weekend was beyond busy, both work & personally. I had to cover the 2009 OHL Priority Selection (Draft) for the Niagara IceDogs, OHL, HHOF & St. Catahrines Standard. I also had a trip to Barrie for my Grandparents 65th anniversary and fired of a few candid photo's, as well as a few portraits I was spontaneously roped into. A few other shoots as well, but they are on the hush hush until further notice. Anyways, here are a few for the Blog, mainly so the family in Barrie can see.

Lucas' gift from Mickey.


We let him open it when he got up from his nap.


So it was back to Magic Kingdom for the "SpectroMagic" parade & "Wishes" fireworks.


The mouse himself leading the parade.


Lucas watching the parade, he loved every minute of it.


Then came the fireworks, what an amazing display.


Amy & Lucas as we get ready to leave the park.


Sunday was Hollywood Studios, so we went to the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids"


Next it was off to "Lights, Motors, Action" and a little self portrait of the family.


And finally a little chocolate on the way out, doesn't Lucas make it look so good.

Many thanks again to Dan & Kevin from Disney, Leslie from Shingle Creek, my parents, and of course Amy and Lucas for making these 4 days absolutely amazing.

Cheers
Rick
