Summer Fun {super heros, nature parks & water fights}
Summer is my favorite season. Even when the temperature soars into the 90s and 100s I prefer it over winter cold. Summer means swim trunks all day and less laundry for me. We’ve been enjoying the hot weather this week…
Super heroes are running around with only their capes and masks. I’ll be sad when they outgrow costumes.
We do a lot outside in the morning before it gets too hot. There is a local park called Ray Harral Nature Park (for you local folk) that we love to hike around. We usually pack a lunch, but if you go let me warn you the picnic tables are DIRTY…pack a tablecloth.
Since FireCracker is SLOW moving these days, I had planned on carrying her on my back the whole time.
She was adamant about walking by herself.
Somebody didn’t get his way.
This is my favorite picture from the hike. The settings are: 1/320, f/1.8, ISO 100, 85mm lens. I changed my focal point to the bottom right (the little squares that light up on the inside of your camera when you are focusing…in manual you can change which one you want to use). I love how all the trees frame them.
Another seemingly daily summer activity around here is water fights. She is learning well from her brothers. She also pulled out her pajama shirt and cried to wear it. I gave in.
