New camera - first pictures

We bought a new camera last week since our old one had a scratched lens with dirt on the inside. After doing much research, I decided to go for a Canon PowerShot SX130 IS. I like that it is a little bigger than most compact cameras, so I have better grip. The flash is very powerful and it has 10x optical zoom. And I love that it can take pictures as close as 1cm (less than half an inch) to an object!
Here are some of the first pictures and videos...click on the picture to see it full size!

Gabriel wasn't too sure about the new camera and wouldn't let me take his picture!
Gotcha!
Handsome young man...
He found some treasures...

Chickens!

 My new favorite picture!
 
Silly faces...he was making cow licks (and horse licks, chicken licks, dog licks etc.) in his hair.

Grayson County Fair

Saturday October 8th we went to the Grayson County Fair. Lots of fun and rides for Gabriel!

Little snake...

I'm glad this one was not real!
Hamster Gabriel
Jump!

This ride seemed like fun, and it was...for Gabriel! Mommy is never going on a ride like this again, it went way too fast and high!

Camping Trip

Last weekend we went camping on the other side of the lake in Oklahoma. Just for 1 night, but it was fun to get out for a little bit! Gabriel loved it and said he wanted to live there (if we brought all his toys up there too)! Here he is sleeping in the tent...
Enjoying...uhm...destroying nature...
Cary & Gabriel and "Uncle Joe's" tent. Just an extra tent we set up for safety reasons ;-)
Heating up frozen Jimmy Dean breakfasts...I wasn't about to cook for real on such a short vacation ;-)
Fun on the 3-wheeler!
