Fourth of July/New Camera
As I’m sure everyone knows, yesterday was the Fourth of July and this past weekend my parents stopped by Austin to give me and my wife-to-be our wedding present from them: a Nikon D5000 SLR Digital Camera. I’ve never had one of these before so I’ve been salivating over the opportunity to use it. Here are a few shots of me starting out. Enjoy!
Brittany and I started off the day with a good hearty breakfast.

This is how every Fourth of July should begin
Brittany getting a head start on dinner.

Then I took a walk around her apartment complex to see what I could find.
That evening, we had dinner with our good friends, the Padulas.

Unfortunately, this year there was a burn ban in Travis Country. This was as close as we got to seeing live fireworks.
Petey is a true celebratory patriot.
