We went for a family outing to the Glass Museum. No holiday around here is complete without a trip to our favorite museum. We all did projects at the studio. Inga and I made glass flowers and everyone else including my 7 year old niece and my reluctant teenage son made glass ornaments. We used to take Inga and Erik to make an ornament every year so Inga wanted to try something different.
Before we did our project we watched the hot glass show to get "fired" up so to speak. My niece, Lara, filmed the hot glass show with her new Flip. The Flip is new flash memory video camera that plugs right into your usb slot on the computer. I am thinking of buying one so I had to check hers out! I am liking it though I have to figure out how to get the best quality video up on the blog. The picture looked a lot better before I uploaded to the blog. This thing is the size of a large credit card. Perfect for videos on the fly. I could carry it around in my purse. As always I do love the tech gadgets though sorting out the "how to" may be stressful! I guess that keeps me from atrophy.

Great field trip. It must be fun to make your own ornament, or flower. As for the Flip, Samantha has had one for at least a year, and maybe it is coming up on two years. It amazes me what she can do with it. I keep thinking I'd like one myself because the videos I take on my camera are very tiny. With the Flip and the movie maker on the computer you can do some interesting things. Maggie also got a Flip last year for Christmas and I used it once this summer. But that is a story for another blog.
