I figured we're near the water enough that I should splurge and get a waterproof camera. We played with it for the first time tonight. Since I didn't swim tonight (I can't possibly swim everyday like the girls) Daddy took these. Not bad, eh?
I love that Vienne is smiling and that both girls are comfortable in the water. I am not. I didn't really learn how to swim. I can swim enough but the girls are really good. Mermaids.

It is a Pentax Optio W30 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom for $232.10 from Amazon. So far I think it's a pretty good camera. I think I will have to take some pictures with it out of the water today and check those out. Fun!

Very, very awesome! Is it a waterproof digital or a disposable or just a housing for your camera? I am so jealous!
Oh, I've been thinking I wanted a waterproof camera! I'd love to know which one you got and how much you paid for it! Looks like it works great!
REALLY fun pics... hip dad! fun indeed!
Summer is just the best. Thanks for sharing such a fun picture!
wow that is just awesome. did you get a disposable one or can you reuse it? the quality is great.
Okay, obviously everyone else has the same question... Camera info????
Just as I clicked your blog, I was thinking "Boy, Hip Momma has a real gift for photography!" and then these awesome pics (even if your hubby took them - they are awesome)!
very cool. i love the way the light coming in from the top illuminates those bubbles -- looks just like an aquarium!
Those are super fun shots! Love them. :) You are probably like my hubby - he never learned to swim so he really doesn't like it that much. I LOVE to swim, and wish we had a pool.
That is awesome! I so covet an underwater camera! Great shots, so fun! Thanks for visiting Dolce Pics and leaving a comment. Hope to see you around again!
That is awesome! I too covet an underwater camera -- thanks for the recommendation!
Those are great! Nice work, Dad!
Thanks for the suggestion...we are working on getting one, too!
WOW! The photos are great. I might have to start saving for one of those cameras!
OH! How absolutely fun. Dad, you did good with those shots!
Now I have to add this to my birthday wish list, but I'm running out of time and money.
You know I really want a macro lens for my camera but probably a waterproof camera would be much more practical. We have a pool too and always want to take pictures at the beach or in the rain and I'm constantly freaked out about it! Those pics of yours turned out amazing!
What fun!!! And great result on the shots dad!! Like you I am less than comfortable in the water; I only put my head under when I dive in or if I have a scuba mask on and my nose is covered. Hate water up my nose. Yuck!
way way way cool
