[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 307470, member: 12257"] Day 136 - STATE!!! So, I told you in a previous post, that after 8 months of piano lessons, my son was a shining success at his district level trials, and was approved to continue to state. Well... today, he performed at the state level, and for his "tenure", he walked out with the highest ranking possible! PROUD PAPA! Here are a few quick shots (as he absolutely HATES having his picture taken). This one was BEFORE he knew I was shooting. He might be 13, but he's still my nervous little boy. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]89462._xfImport[/ATTACH] AFTER he knew I was snapping pics, he displayed the calm confidence (and glare) of a teen boy thinking, "Somehow, Dad, I'm gonna make you pay for this..." [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]89463._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then, here was the best look I could get out of him with his trophy in hand. My OCD kicked in, as I wanted to level the bench, but then the bricks were off kilter. I ended up going with level lines on the brick, as that was what was TRUE level. The bench had to suffer for being built on a slope... [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]89464._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
