Crisis Averted

Last Sunday Jenny and I rode the Virgil Gilman Bike Trail from the Prairie Street parking lot to Waubonsee College.  On the way is Splash Country, located on the West side of Aurora.

It was a beautiful day... a perfect day for a picnic.  In fact, at Splash Country there was a family, of about 30 people, having a picnic on a few tables underneath a big strong oak tree.  It appeared they were celebrating a youngster’s birthday... a Cars themed birthday.


Upon arriving to Splash Country we heard some shouting and screaming coming from this “picnic area.”  At first Jenny and I assumed some children were playing a game.  But then we, and everyone else, heard a terrible snapping sound.  And the result was the limb, pictured above, falling directly on one of the two picnic tables.  Fortunately, everyone heard the limb snapping and was able to scatter in time... crisis averted.

Oh Hell!

It would seem that our Friday night card games have become a regular topic on here.  This is another silly video of us playing Oh Hell!  In retrospect, it’s actually pretty boring, but now that I’ve learned some more iMovie, it may have laid the ground work for some future videos.

And, if I were to stumble upon an iPhone 3Gs, I wouldn’t need to do stop-motion (although I’m kind of enjoying the stop-motion and plan to do more with it).


In the mean time, enjoy the video, and enjoy the Chemical Brothers.
