No pressure or anything but just wondering when and if the video and pics will be available.
ReplyDeleteKeith and Jenn and doing some editing of the video. The whole video process could take a while before getting posted due to the amount of time needed to upload.
ReplyDeleteI hope to have some pics up soon. Sadly, we ran out of memory on our camera and only got through about half the field. We'll post what we can soon.
Oh, was that Keith? I thought he looked familiar.
