Settled in-- PA
Our move to PA started off rocky but we are here now and finally settled in very nicely. My studio is set up, not in as big of a space as I had in Vegas but it will do. There are many outdoor locations here that will be lovely to do outdoor location shoots as well. Much more pretty then the desert. I love the trees, parks, water.
My son is now back into a Pre-K 3 days a week, which allows me additional time to work on photography. Its great for him, he is making a lot of new friends.
We also have him in as an "honorary" Tiger Scout with the local pack. (Boy Scouts). I have applied to help out as a Den Leader/Photographer/assistant/Badge Counselor/Committee Member & anything else they need assistance with. I have already taken several online classes for it. I did Girl Scouts with my daughter when she was young and look forward to doing this with my son.
The local pack here are a great bunch of adults & children. Tomorrow we will have a tent at a local park for the Firework show, to give out info on Scouting as well as collecting non-perishable foods/donations for a local food bank. Then on the 4th the boys will be walking in the parade. I will be taking photos at each event.
I plan on adding a blog post on their adventures & what they are doing to help the community. Memorial weekend they helped the local VFW by replacing all of the old flags with new flags on veterans graves. They have also cleaned up a park and laid fresh mulch around new & older trees. These boys are really learning on how to help their community and others. Which is what we should all remember to do.
They also have fun, last month we experienced our 1st "Rod & Reel Fishing Derby" it was a lot of fun. My son's first experience with fishing. He used a regular pole & 1 he handmade with some help from his grandpa in VT. He caught 8 sunfish that day.
More & more blog posts to come now that I am settled in!
