Tanyard Creek Photo Shoot

Its getting close to Father's Day and my Dad has asked for a new mousepad. Not just any mousepad though. One with updated pictures of our kids. He has one that I gave him last year, but Zane & Zander weren't even walking, so their looks have changed a lot.

About a week ago, I got the kids all cutesied up and we headed to Tanyard Creek to take pictures. Got out of the car, walked to the creek, Philip started to take the 1st picture and...........(any guesses as to what happened next?) If you guessed that there was no memory card in the camera you are correct!!! So.....no pictures were taken that day, but the kids did enjoy splashing around in the water.

Yesterday we did Take 2 at Tanyard Creek (and made sure the memory card was in the camera before we left home)!

As we were crossing over the bridge to get to the creek, the kids all looked out across the water.....

and saw this....

After admiring God's beautiful creations, we got down to the photo-taking business.

Eli and Emma Kate are usually always easy subjects, so not much explanation is needed for their pictures.

Zander did good as long as he was BESIDE the water....

But when we put him IN the water, he wasn't too crazy about that...

Zane didn't cooperate with ANY of it. Not beside the water. Not in the water. Nothing.

This is as good as we could get.

When we had Zander out in the water, we had Eli & EK get out there with him so that he wouldn't fall.

Happy Father's Day to my Dad! Hope you enjoy your new mousepad!
