Snowball & an Afternoon of Photography

March Break wasn't the most enjoyable for our kids . . . sickness started with Navia's 105F fever and 3 days later she was better, but then Emma was sick - ug!  So much for our day trip plans . . . but there was a bright light for the kids . . . Snowball!!!


Emma had agreed to dog-sit her friends dog, Snowball, for 5 days during break.  This was fun for her because she enjoyed the morning & evening walks (usually with Daddy tagging along) and she had a friend to play with all day long.  Navia and Kaleb had fin with her too - and overall it was a great way to have March Break - if we couldn't go anywhere.




This past week Braden found a used Nikon D5000 body - which could share lenses with my D90.  He purchased it and I can't wait to see the pictures he takes of London next week with it (work is sending him to London, England for a quick trip . . . kinda like the Paris one a couple weeks ago).

Yesterday, while Emma was at a friend's - Snowball's owner - the rest of us went to Hog's Back Falls - just a 10 minute drive from our house, to take pictures.  Yep . . . Navia was using Emma's camera, Kaleb on his camera, me on my camera with the 50mm lens & Braden on his camera with the 18-105mm lens.  It was a lot of fun experimenting with shots and the kids had fun too.  It was neat watching them try to catch their favorite shots . . . Kaleb has numerous shots of dogs walking by & was trying so hard to run after the squirrels to take pictures of them - so cute!

So these are a few shots from Brade's and my camera that kinda captured the spring thaw happening at Hog's Back Falls. . . 











The kids were both taking pictures of 2 little dogs out for a walk - the owners thought it was adorable!
