Chocolate ...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm











We went to Hershey Pa and took the Chocolate tour. Nice place. If you are in the area you should stop in. Everyone loves chocolate and oh man fresh chocolate is awesome. Here are a few pics from the, " How chocolate is made tour".

Opening Day








8:00 am today started the season for Niagara's Purple Eagles Basketball. The Eagles enjoyed a ten point lead most of the game over Drexel at the Gallagher Center on the NU campus. Drexel pressed hard at the finish but came up short as the Purple Eagles won 74-69. Today's game was televised on ESPN and Niagara Falls High School Band provided the music. Here are a few shots from the game. Click to enlarge.

Home Coming Dance



My daughter Christina and her boyfriend Nick let me shoot a few pictures before they went to Niagara Falls High School's home coming dance on Saturday night. They look great.

Fall is here...










We didn't have a wedding this weekend so Wendy and I went apple picking. If you haven't tried it you should. we went to Blackman Farms in Cambria. A great place to take the kids. Besides the 10 varieties of apples they also have pears. They have pumpkins, a petting zoo, turkeys, goats, cows, hay bail maze, an many many apple products like cider and apple butter. We had a great time picking 18 lbs. of apples but you can buy them already picked too. Their apple cider is delicious.

Year Book Picture



We shot my daughter's year book picture today. Christina will be graduating from Niagara Falls High School in June 2010. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday she was just a little girl. We did the background in her favorite color, purple. She took a great picture. She makes me so proud.
