Thanks Al!!!

I had my camera on manual, so I should have used a faster shutter speed. I was using a Canon 5d, so the fastest I can go to sync is 200, right? Also, since I was trying to get all three kids in focus, I was concerned about my aperture. I am a completely self-taught photographer. Everything I know, I have learned from reading and lots and lots of practice. But, I want to continue to learn. I just don't always know where to turn for help. I guess I need a personal mentor for those times when smoke starts coming out of my ears.
