Focused on Art

I've been on a huge art streak lately and have been creating like mad. I have more pics to post but probably won't get to it for a week. You know how it is...

Our Day at Lions Park, Summer 2008

Jen, our children, and I went to Lions park the other day and spent several hours playing. A while after we had been there, some of Jen's family members came to the park and visited with us while we were there. We all had such a great time. The kids played with water balloons and ran around like maniacs, and we all had fun on the swings. Everyone was beat by the end of the day.

None of these pictures are in order, but my favorites I think are the swing series. Tough to decide though...they're all good. :) I must give credit to Caitlin for getting some shots of Ben while he was on the swing. She stood to the side of him as he was swinging and was able to capture some interesting angles. I think my daughter is turning into a fine photographer.



Calvin getting hammy for me


Brom is teasing his momma, threatening to throw rocks at her

Pow! Calvin giving it all he's got into splatting that balloon!

Brom looking pensive

Jen looking absorbed



Ben looks like he is about to hit warp speed in this shot. :)

I just LOVE happy faces!


Caitlin took this shot

And she took this one

I think this picture is the best one by far out of them all. My kids love each other.

Up up and away she goes...







Wow is all I can say about this.




This kiddo has no worries!
