Two weeks ago we had an extra fun time outside. AND, I had my camera! Hooray!
Here are the pictures!
The girls love to carry things to the dumpster. They always turn them into marching band instruments. As soon as we get out of the stairwell, they begin to march and say, “Rat-a-tat, BOOM!”On our way to the mailbox, we noticed a bunch of geese in the pond! How fun! We ran back to the house, got some bread and went back to feed them.
These two weren’t so sure about getting close.This guy was especially appreciative.Just as our bread ran out, we heard the garbage truck! Can this day get any better? We ran back to the sidewalk to see if we could watch.I mean, seriously, if you’re a little kid, it doesn’t get better than this.Somebody wanted to stay close to Mama. It was too loud.Then it was off to the playground!
I love this shot of Mckayla’s hair.
Swing,get ready……yay!Uh-oh, somebody discovered the mud. = )
Look at the airplane!
Have you ever heard of the “Embrace the Camera” challenge? This is our second attempt. The idea is for the mom to be in some of the pictures so the kids can see her with them when they look back at the pictures.This one’s a little better.And because the girls looked so cute around the fire truck.Sophia was still super proud of the mud on her shoes.And one more shot with a slightly better smile from Mckayla. = )
Thanks! I have a Canon point and shoot. I’ll try to find the exact model and let you know. I do try to shoot in manual and have been playing around with settings and stuff. Unfortunately, the instruction manual is nowhere to be found so I’m really left to blind experimentation. = /
small steps, big picture 
Very nice! What camera do you use?
