the weather dropped to a lovely upper 60's/low 70's.
so we packed up the car, and headed out to the zoo. :)
I LOVE THE ZOO! :)
after a picnic lunch, the kids decided to run like crazy around the lawn. fine by me! gets them nice and tired for their afternoon nap. ahhh.
as i was relaxing on the picnic blanket, i looked straight ahead to see a beautiful lawn, clean of geese poo, and a great view of the fountain. hmm...will the kids cooperate if i ask them to take some pictures? can't hurt to try! boy am i glad i did. which reminds me, and hopefully encourages you, take up those photo ops, even if the kids are dirty, clothes don't match, and hair's a mess. you never know how great they'll be, until you try!
upon leaving the house, i was in serious debate with myself about whether i should take, what i have named my "big camera" the SLR, or the "little camera" the point and shoot. i left mr. big camera at home. man, i knew i'd regret it. oh well, the photo op was still worth the while. :)
mommy starts to act crazy to get them to smile. another tip, do what you can, it's totally worth the humiliation!
