Vacation in Upstate New York: A Video

Matt finished putting together a video of our vacation in Upstate New York. A friend of ours gave us his old drone and GoPro, so that’s what Matt uses. We also used our iPhones to capture pieces of it.

I’m constantly asking parents who are older than I am, “What do you which you would have done differently to savor your children’s childhoods?” One of the answers that stuck out to me was a colleague of mine. He said, “I wish I would have captured more video.”

I’m so grateful that Matt captures a lot of our lives on video. He makes a recap each year. Here are links to some of those, in case you are interested.

My new blogging friend, Julie, visited us recently. She also makes a video each year. I love how she includes a lot of her daughter’s voice in the videos. She decreases the volume of the song or edits it so that the talking happens in the silent parts of the song. I would love to be able to hear snippets of our children talking.

I loved every part of our vacation in upstate New York. The planning was fun. Experiencing it was fun. And now watching the video is fun!
