I have been on a picture taking frenzy. I think I’ve taken about 5GB worth in the last three days. Seriously. I love learning about photography through experimenting with new situations. The Fourth of July obviously presents a learning experience. Of course toddlers and slow shutter speeds do not mix very well, but I thought some of the pictures came out pretty cute.

First sparkler

Our own little mini fireworks show

Monkey see…

Monkey do!

Caleb had been begging to go, but it is so hot, so we got out there nice and early before it was miserable. Caleb played on the actual playset about half the time. All of the slides had big puddles of water at the bottom, and I didn’t have anything to wipe them off. He moved over the a big pile of dirt at the side of the playground and was content to make up his own play over there as long as we could stay. He never has really been that into playgrounds.

Peeved because I wasn’t complying with my assigned seating position, I was taking pictures instead.

Miffed because I made him get on this, thinking he would love it. Not so much.

The perfect slide in his mind, one that is made to climb up!

Lip poked out about who knows what

Not loving this big boy swing (first time)

Studying the sign language sign

“G”

Going for “E” which ended up being an “A” They are very similar, just the position of your thumb changes

Playing in the dirt with a stick rather than the huge playground equipment

Making another face, noticing a trend here?!
