Anna's first trip to the fair

First food; then rides by you.

Riding the wheel by you.

THURSDAY NIGHT : Awesome cooler weather with just a touch of a breeze. Dinner & an elephant ear. A bit of grouchiness from the older kid after he didn't win a game. A couple rides (the ferris wheel with mom & the haunted house with dad). Lovely light. Tons of excitement going in and really tired kids & parents coming out. Savoring the last few weeks of summer.

    Oh my gosh, your husband wears a visor too... Mine wears one all day, every day and people always comment on it. So funny to see your husband in one; I thought Ben was the only person left to wear one when he's not golfing... :)

    Wow, your photos and kids are amazing! Love those eyes on Simon, especially with the missing teeth! Too cute! And the baby has grown so fast. I love the shot of her watching the rides.

    Amazing sky gradations! Love when the color turns out so soft. What great pics of your summer fun---you captured the evening very well, "warts" & all :). Nice to know everyone has a few grump moments during their fun times too!

    Hi Ann - up until about a month ago I had been using a Canon Digital Rebel. Awesome camera - perfect for anyone wanting to purchase a digital SLR camera. We recently upgraded and are now using a Canon 5D (and learning more about it/practicing/playing around). For photo editing I use Photoshop.

    You should really try Karen Russell's photography class (snapshotsofagoodlife.com)--I took it last year---it's FANTASTIC! (and no major time commitment I have three little one's myself).
