Oh how I dream of a
I had to bribe the kids with Baskin Robbins. I said if they behave, do as I say, and pose like mad men, I would take them for a scoop of the sweet stuff.
I got what I needed, loaded the kiddos back in to the van and made our way towards BR. Even though, I love their Mint Chocolate Chip ice-cream, I wasn't in the mood for unloading and reloading my brood. I had an errand list a mile long. But I didn't want to go back on my offer. So, I did what any selfish mom would do.
Oh man, I am parched.
Perhaps they couldn't hear me over Bruno Mars blasting on the radio?!
I could use a cold one.
Still nothing.
They weren't getting my pointed hint. I had to come straight out with it.
Kids?! We should go to Chick-Fil-A instead of Baskin Robbins. I hear they have great shakes. And Nic, I can buy you an ice cream cone!
Moans and groans, really?!
I will throw in a sweet tea!
Cheer and applause!
Score for me! Who doesn't love sweet tea and a drive-thru? Maybe Baskin Robbins should reconsider their strategy...
Without further
This is the photo I used for our Christmas card... In the background you can see (barely) Red Mountain and Usery Pass. Pretty.
And here are a few more I captured.
All in all, it was a quick and easy photo shoot. I can't wait to get the kids out again, though! ;) We have some cool, old buildings out here that would serve as killer backdrops!
P.S. I really have to figure out this lighting thing... Do I really need to take pics when the sun is rising or setting?! I am in a constant fight with shadows. Maybe it's a mixture of the light, shadows, and my just okay camera?! /sigh. I see some photography classes in my future.
