Family Pictures

We decided that it was finally time to try to take some decent family pictures. Usually one of us (ie me or Gatlin) have our eyes closed or one of us (ie Chad) has a silly grin. We took our tripod out and ran. After getting Gatlin to finally button up his shirt and zipping Maddex’s sweater up to hide the stains we were ready. We took the first picutes in Elanor Kidd Park in Brandon. It was hot. I had a heart attack moment when Maddex was sitting on the side of the bridge for her pictures. Chad had to keep telling me to back up out of the shot. Next we tried some pictures with all four of us. It was pretty entertaining watching Chad set the timer and run as fast as he could to get into position for the picture. You can see us laughing in some of the pictures.

Next we were off to Island Park in Portage…more like goose shit park. It was impossible to walk two steps without stepping on a mine of poo!! We did find a great tree for pictures and of course.. Gatlin managed to step in goose poo. The smell in the jeep after was great. We took a break for supper at Papa and Grandma’s and then were off to the old train station. Again it was a great spot for pictures…if you could avoid the pigeon poo! Anyway, we did manage to get some good shoots and I will be able to fill the frames that have been waiting patiently for the last year to be filled.
