evening walk/photography play

This evening, we walked to our neighborhood ponds to try & get out of the hot house. Of course, it was still hot outside, but at least we could feel the breeze. I have been meaning to play a little more with my camera & not just take the usual photos that I tend to take...which usually start with me saying "Look here & smile" or "Say cheese." So here is our evening, in pictures:

Apparently it's summer: Finn has his shirt off & Kenton is squinting.

Kenton does not love the dirtiness of outdoors...especially with a toddler around. :P

We were surprised by how bright the greenery was in our rather dingy pond.

Enjoying himself.

On a mission.

Finn could have gathered/thrown rocks all evening. He's getting pretty good at throwing lately. He usually manages to throw out instead of right above or behind himself. :P

Geese!

Watching the couple walking their dog very closely.

Time to head home.

The photographer + her favorite subjects. :)

Passing the time.

We sure are enjoying our son. He has amazing energy & personality. His excitement pours out & is so contagious. He loves to communicate & is so thrilled when we understand what he's telling us. He continues to be way more social than Kenton & I are & we really hope he stays that way. What a blessing we have been given.
