We had a fantastic time with John’s parents this past weekend. Our trip to LaGrange got postponed because we weren’t feeling so hot last week, but we did get to spend some time with my parents and Radar too. And we had another awesome photo shoot with my great friend and fabulous photographer, Brooke! Click on her blog link to the right to see a few photos.

Some highlights were Charlie’s first boat ride, his new T-ball set that he l-o-v-e-s, and me getting assist Brooke with some prom photos. John and I grew up on West Point Lake and have spent many days over many summers out on his parents’ boat. We actually consider it our boat because we’ve used it the most by far. ) Now Charlie is old enough to go out with us and we plan on getting out on the lake as much as possible! I also plan on taking him out in my dad’s canoe once he’s more acclimated to being on the water. I was an outdoor girl growing up and was always in the woods and down at the water. I canoed by myself and had many close-hand experiences with nature that you can only see when your boat is silent. Ahhh, the good ol’ days…

Due to worries about the weather on Saturday afternoon, Brooke brought her prom session over to Doug and Sandy’s because they have great places that are covered. But the rain held out and she got some amazing stuff – and I got to assist with positioning and staging the shots. I had more fun than I’ve had in a long time with that and my own little photo shoot. There were three precious girls in the family that had come along, and I decided to get my camera out and have some fun with them when they started getting antsy. I had them act like models and then get silly and goofy – my specialty!

Now we’re home and back to reality. Slideshow time!
