Our local pool closes at 6:00 P.M. and reserves the 6:00-8:00 P.M. slot for private parties. I would go to the pool more often but I haven't bought a new swimming suit in years and the thought of spending $3 to sit there and wish I could go in the water doesn't seem all that fun. On day 21, they hosted a Family Night during those hours and only charged $1 to get in. For a buck, I'll go sit by the water.
Daughter Em and extended family were there. It's always a joy to see little kids splashing around or going down the slide. I'm usually the only adult there with a camera, which makes me feel somewhat pervish, so I make sure I am obvious about only taking pictures of the people I know. I also do a little creative cropping of photos to eliminate any strangers in the background or any immodesty. It was a beautiful night and well worth the dollar.

I've been diligently trying to get some good pictures of Avatar, but he's getting older now so this is what I usually get.

Undoubtedly I shall have to study up on some paparazzi tricks. I'll let you know how it goes.
Let me know if you do! I've not managed a happy photo of my two together for the last three years!
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult when they're teens and tweens! I usually just get the hand in front of camera pose, which will serve them well if they ever get famous. And when you finally get a photo of your two, I'd love to see it.
