Fix It Friday #54

I participated again.



I like to take a break and work on other people's photos.
Lately I have been addicted to Flickr, so check me out there.
I have plans for updates to this blog so stay tuned.
Have a good weekend.

Last Weekend & Fix It Friday

Last weekend was a exercise in well excercise.
We hiked a difficult 6.7 mile trail in Balboa Park.
Poor A had McK on his back the whole time.
She was sleep for most of it.
We were hurting afterwards.
But in need of steps we walked again on Sunday.
Now my calves are sore.
After the hike Saturday we tried a Cuban coffee shop in Ocean Beach, or OB as the locals say.
Azucar was delicious.
A lost the March Madness bet, so he treated me to lunch.
Cuban coffee, Cuban sandwich, and best of all dessert - which I ate first and didn't share.
It was a lovely key lime tart and a mojito cookie to go.
It is making me hungry typing this.
Photos to come.
Last weekend was not so hectic, but this weekend is a different story.
Birthday parties galore (one in Long Beach), taste of Hilcrest, NBA playoffs, and photos in the Carlsbad Flower Fields.
I also participated in I Heart Faces Fix It Friday.
This is the original photo.
Here are my edits.
edit 1
edit 2
I love the gritty look, so my 2 edit uses that effect.
She is such a pretty girl.
Tell me which edit is best.
Have a good weekend.

Weekend Update 3/27-3/28

We are already about into another weekend and I am just getting to last weekend.
It was pretty busy.
We had a Easter egg hunt, a baby shower, a birthday party, and dinner with friends.
We will not mention the cleaning we had to do also. Blah!

McKenna was not really liking getting her picture taken at the park before the 3 and under egg hunt started.
She collected about 3 eggs before they were all gone.
Although she kept trying to get the eggs back from her dad after she collected them and gave them to him.
I decided I would let her have her own hunt Easter weekend.
I bought about 30 eggs for her to find.
We'll see how that goes.




She loved this slide at Eric James's 1st birthday party.
She kept going down it.
She is fearless.




This weekend should be fun with Friday Night Girl's Night Out to see Why Did I Get Married Too.
My sorority has at least 44 tickets reserved - over half the theater - definitely an estrogen fest.
More walking this weekend.
I am thinking either the beach or Balboa Park, so I can stop and take pics of the Easter Lilies in the bontancal garden. I need to increase the steps this weekend and next week. I am slacking.
Easter should be nice.
We are trying a popular brunch place with a group of friends after church.
