More CO pics and a shameless product endorsement...






Here's some more pics from CO...













Amanda really liked this place (Garden of the Gods http://www.gardenofgods.com/ )... for taking pictures that is until her camera battery died :(






































and this was Amanda's little buddy... :)













Now for the story... after we got home I (Rob) was trying to download the photos from our SD card to our hard drive... during this process, computer freezes up and I don't think much of it until I reboot and stick card and and get message, "Disk is not formatted, would you like to format? Yes/No"... Are you kidding me Dell???? Of course No, I do not want to erase pictures of my vacation to CO... so I try my laptop, same result... feeling stupid... I ask our IT guy what can be done, he runs some type of recovery software on it to no avail... he says last ditch is to put it into the camera and see if it can read it... it can't, so I sadly let the camera re-format the card... then as I was putzing around in the I-net at night... another friend suggests a recovery program made by Lexus (the card not car maker...) I go to their site, can't download, but have to buy a new card... so I go to download.com. I download this gem of a program... disk scavenger v3.2... amazing most of our photos (even after letting camera format card) are recovered... cost us $30, but bless you computer geeks of Disk Scavenger... I wish I was so smart... it even pulled back a pic of Robby playing T-ball from last summer... so if you think you erased something... think again... if a $30 program can bring stuff back, imagine what other places must have...
