You Capture - Friends

This week's You Capture theme is Friends.
This week we celebrated Josie's 8th birthday (a few weeks early). Her actual birthday falls aroudn the start of school, and things are just too crazy for a celebration with friends. So this year, she invited a few friends to paint pottery and make ice cream sundaes.

You can join in You Capture. Just go to I Should Be Folding Laundry for all the info.

You Capture...Black and White

The view from the backseat on our Texas Safari...

This week's challenge on I Should Be Folding Laundry was to capture something in black and white. I go through stages of loving black and white pictures, and right now I am not in the "loving it" stage, but I thought it would be fun to try. Anyone who wants to join in is welcome, just click the link below to find out how!

The Story of Our Life

Moods change quickly in our world. While some people may be happy and pleasant...

others, not so much.

You never know when one of these moods might hit...

or when it will change.

Water, Water Everywhere!

Today we went to Landa Park and the kids played in the spring-fed pool.

There was a shallow kids' area with slides.

Brrrr...spring water is COLD!

Petting Zoo

Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch has a petting zoo. It was actually a very run-of-the-mill petting zoo--mostly goats, and one pot-bellied pig. The highlight of it was that we got to see twin goats born while we were there. Here they are less than 5 minutes old.

Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch

Cody made me take a picture of every single animal we saw as we drove around, but I picked out my favorites to share. The kids were able to toss out food as we looked. I think Daddy was as excited as they were!

Vacation

I didn't take any pictures at Schlitterbaun. I couldn't figure out how to carry my camera, keep it dry, and have fun, so I chose fun. We left Schlitterbaun when it started getting really crowded, even though we should have stayed until it closed so we could get our money's worth.

Next stop: Natural Bridge Caverns.
