Mar 26–Lake Merced<\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin and I spent an afternoon walking around part of the huge Lake Merced<\/a> in the southern part of the city.\u00a0 I discovered it with a friend when we decided to do a 3 mile loop run a few weeks prior and wanted to take Kevin and Lola there.<\/p>\n

I know, we’re terrible doggy parents, always making Lola pose in front of the weirdest statues (this one, if you can’t tell, is of three penguins).<\/p>\n

Kevin & Lola at the end of the path surrounded by strawberry bushes.<\/p>\n

I know my hair looks terrible.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Kevin didn’t think to tell me before he snapped this photo!\u00a0 Hahah.<\/p>\n

Mar 26–Earth Hour 2011<\/span><\/p>\n

The first time I heard about Earth Hour<\/a> was when we were in Australia in 2008 and although I had never participated in it I thought it might be fun to do it this year.\u00a0 So at 8pm on the 26th we shut off the lights and hung out by candlelight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But of course we couldn’t just sit there and stare at each other in the dim light.\u00a0 We had to do something.\u00a0 And do something we did!\u00a0 We spent a couple of hours messing around with flashlights, lasers and the camera to take some cool photos.\u00a0 Kevin was the genius photographer behind all this and I “wrote” in the air with the light.<\/p>\n

The first one was written with me facing the camera so I had to write backwards and in cursive–not the easiest thing, let me tell you!\u00a0 But I think it turned out pretty good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This second one we used a laser pointer and I wrote Lola’s name facing her.\u00a0 The hard part was getting Lola’s body to be lit up so after I finished writing her name, Kevin flashed a flashlight on her for just a second so that her body could be captured in light (otherwise she would’ve been too dark to see).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve determined that we should honor Earth Hour more often so that it will get us off our rears and do something fun like this!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
