It's my neglected Xbox racing wheel. I busted it out last week, attached it to a kitchen stool, and had some fun racing cars I'll never own around a track on my TV screen. Still fun, a little pathetic, but I'm too old to care anymore.

I showed the kids the picture from yesterday with two dads. They were blown away and had no idea how I did it. I said I just pushed really hard and, pooof, there were two of me.

I revealed the magic later and shot a few of Riley standing around. I got a little sloppy over the main Riley, just over his left shoulder (forgot to brush it better).

Enjoy!

I got home from work today and Riley was planted on the floor doing yoga. Of course I ran downstairs and got the camera.

Because I was on the floor (and I had a filter on; oops), the camera wa registering dark, even with all the light coming in. So it slowed the shutter down to compensate.

I ended up taking about 10 shots, half of which I had to dump because Riley wouldn't hold his poses long enough.

The red carpet and orange yoga mat (funny) didn't help the color issues. I guess it doesn't matter too much. I just liked the story the photo told.

Today was the first day I've spent at home with the kids in about two weeks. We went to lunch and ran some errands and did some summer fun shopping.

Cue the Slip 'n' slide!

Brought it home and set it up. Haley, like she does with most things active, took to it immediately. Riley struggled a bit with the diving on the ground aspect. I think because it went against everything we've been teaching him the past few years to protect his neck, it was hard for him to do.

As it was, he kept trying and towards the end (before he nearly froze), he was able to make it most of the way down the slide.

I had some other shots of Hay splashing down in the water trough at the end, but I liked this shot of her airborn.

She's a stud.
