Amanduh 0 #9 July 11, 2005 I cannot wait to go jump with her this weekend!!!!! Awesome pics, Chris! Wish you could make it down for Skyfest...next year put it on your list sweetie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ccowden 0 #10 July 11, 2005 Yup, she was looking forward to coming to SkyFest this weekend, so I am sure you will have some fun! And SkyFest IS on my tentative list for next year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites newshooter12 0 #11 July 11, 2005 thanks Chris. I've got a handful of you swooping so if you want the full res pix PM me an e-mail that will handle the larger files, or figure something out that will work for you, and i'll get them to you. I've already done some editing & am toying with the idea of getting a shutterfly account so people can pick them up if they'd like. Maybe i can talk someone from frontier into making a site to combine all the Batavia Boogie pix, some video, thoughts & such... matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ccowden 0 #12 July 12, 2005 Shutterfly would be sweet.
