Time by the Lake

Mark, the kids, and I were down visiting Mark's parents.



We went to church (I'm really good at picking out clothes that match even though that's not what I intended) and then out for brunch.


 

 When we got back the kids asked if we could go down to the little beach.

 
 At first I hesitated since they were in their church clothes, but then I decided, "Why not? It's just water and sand."


 
  
So I grabbed my camera. 

 


I wasn't really sure how well they were going to turn out 
because it was really bright.



The kids had a great time being in the water in their clothes.



And some of their pictures turned out nice enough to enlarge.



 My sister who's an awesome photographer usually takes their pictures but this fall that just didn't work out.



I was able to get a few snapshots to work.





The group ones however....
 It was just so bright.
I couldn't even look at my camera display to see how they looked.
 I'm definitely going to need to recruit Melissa.
Those were not at all wall worthy. hehe

As always, it was such a nice visit with Mark's parents.

We've done soooo many things since September....and before!
It was Laina's birthday, 
Mark and I took a trip to Iowa for my birthday and visited friends, 
we went out to the ranch for Thanksgiving,
and now Christmas is coming up!!
I'm a little behind on blogs.
I will TRY to get to it.
I just have a few irons in my fire. :)

If I don't post until afterward,
Merry Christmas!!!!
