I drove van 1 of the Jive 2008 Hood to Coast team this year.  It was 30+ hours of driving in two days, but totally fun.

I posted a bunch of Hood to Coast pics on Flickr too.

Yesterday, my brood all tested for new belts in Karate. Check out the video below. You can also watch this video in High Definition on Vimeo.

One of the dudes on my team showed this to me and I just had to share:

With such great weather, a trip to the Hoyt Arboretum was in order. It was great to get out of the house, away from the computers and TVs to spend the day hiking and taking pictures.

It was our first time to the Hoyt Arboretum and we were pleasantly surprised at how extensive the trails were. The trees were beautiful and the hike wasn’t too difficult. It was a great day out with the whole family.

You can also check out lots of good pics that didn’t make the video on my Flickr site.

I recently purchased a Canon HV30 for work and gave it a quick test over the weekend. My wife drove me and my family around various parts of Hillsboro. I just shot what looked interesting.
