Adorable photos!

Gorgeous, gorgeous photos! I was so mesmerized I forgot how to spell gorgeous and had to type it three times before I got it right again. What kind of camera do you use? In the market for a new one.

If you read my blog on a regular basis, you must know how much I love these outings. We go to the zoo once a week. The theme park, once a week. State parks, a few times a month. The farmstead in town, twice a month. Museums – as much as possible. I love it all…..anything for the kids…..where they are tricked into learning while having fun!

Ahhh seriously such cuteness! Such great pictures! Love the one of your daughter petting the… the… horse? Or whatever it is. She looks GORGEOUS. Look at her hair! She should be in commercials. :) And your boys are just delish and oh-so cute! Little boy feet in little sandals… ahhh!

First, great photos!

Secondly, I could not help but notice all the kids are dressed in solid colored polo shirts. Was this intentional for photographic purposes? This is something I could see myself totally doing!

(By the way, the donkey photo is my favorite.)

They look so happy at the farm. If my kid was at a farm she would be tense because her mom would be tense because her mom hates anything to do with nature. :)

It is not often that a kid gets to be the same height as zoo animals. You can tell that they are loving this.

Heck, I love a petting zoo.

So it’s official, huh? Evan can walk and keep up now with his siblings’ mischiefs? So cute!
Congrats! You have amazing kids!
And, for the record, I saw your picture as a child (that one with jess) and they all resemble you, not just Ben, speccially ’cause of the dimples. Cute! .^_^.

PS: Yeah, I know. This post is 3 years old. I don’t care. I am reading your blog in chronological order, so that’s how my comments will be. According to what you wrote back then.
