More layouts to share with you. I’ve been waiting to scrap on the water photos since LAST summer (when I didn’t have time to finish the water kit) So I had fun using it this past week.

My girls were so excited when they saw the orange life vests & green canoe because they knew those were the colors in their pictures from girls camp.

Why do I let my girls take my camera out on the lake? Because the camera is waterproof. This has been one of our best investments! It’s an Olympus Stylus Tough 6000. It’s waterproof to 10 feet. We’ve taken it every WET that we go from snorkeling in Hawaii to the hot tub in the backyard. It’s a 10 megapixel camera, and the quality is really nice.
I’ve actually bought 2 of them, so I do have some advice: it has a nice long metal “hand strap” — plenty big to hang around your neck…but apparently it also slips off when you are swimming (or maybe it’s just lost in the backseat of the neighbor’s car…) ANYWAY, I added a caribiner (that metal rock climbing hook) to the strap. Our rule is: If you are taking the camera, you have to have that clipped to your swimsuit…and you can still hang the strap around your neck.  I love being able to capture our WET fun without getting my nice camera ANYWHERE near the water.
