Mike, Jill, Lucy, & Wubie!

Visiting Gma from Mike C on Vimeo.

Wow, this is our 300th post! Yep, our first post was way back in December of 2006. How time flies, huh?

We had a good day today, drove up to SF to visit w/ Lucy’s Auntie Laura (and Izzy/Omi/Luna) and see Gpa Tom and Gma Karen. Lucy got a chance to play at the beach and do a little cat-chasing at Laura’s. I’m sure we’ll post some pics in the very near future. Right now it’s a little past midnight. The two girls are fast asleep and I just finished vegging in front of the TV watching UFC 95. What better time to post a quick video and scribble a little nonsense?

Anyway, I got a Flip Video camcorder off Woot recently. The specs are pretty meh compared to my main video camcorder. However, it’s way small, so it’s perfect for keeping in a pocket or glove compartment (or in Jill’s case, bounty hunter costume utility belt) just in case.

Also, since it was so inexpensive, I can take chances with it (take it to the beach, hand it off to Lucy to use, toss it in a backpack, etc.) All in all, I’m pretty happy with it. I used it to shoot the above video of a trip we made to Gma Vita’s last weekend. In the video, from all the hacking involved, you’ll see we’re all still getting over our colds. However, you’ll also see that Lucy doesn’t let a dumb cold stop her from having fun! Stuff from the video:

• Mailing a letter/netflix at the post office (yep, it was as exciting as it sounds!)
• Lucy munching on rice cakes
• Lucy and Jill exploring the backyard
• Lucy playing w/ her “mini” car
• Lucy dancing in fast motion

Music used:

• “Freight Train” and “Nine Pound Hammer” from Guitar Country by Chet Atkins
• “Cannonball Rag” from Atkins-Travis Traveling Show by Chet Atkins and Merle Travis
