Bloomington Children's Museum....


well, we recently went on a "mini" vacation over to Illinois.....yes, I said Illinois! Drew had a "farm class" about corn for two days, and the kids and I went along for the ride. all kids, generally, think spending the night in a hotel is just the bomb! any place they get to spend the night, and have access to a pool 24/7, is a vacation! so while drew spent ALL DAY AND EVENING at his class, i took the kids to a local children's museum....and it was awesome! in these particular pics, their favorite part of the museum was the glass room for painting!!! you get a pallet of paint, a spray bottle, and a squeegee to wipe away your

drawing, and then start all over!!! it was really fun for them...however, sophia ended up with green hair! surprise, surprise! they also had a craft room where the kids had glue, pipe cleaners, cotton balls, construction paper, and scissors to create any piece of art they desire! i soon learned how truly different boys are than girls! sophia enjoyed the scissors, and soon figured out how to use them.....nathan, not so much!!! they were too difficult and he didn't have time for that stuff! because as you can see, he parked himself in front of this window for a bit to watch bulldozers and backhoes at the construction outside!(& he truly planted himself there....that wasn't a "set up" picture at all!) plus, there was a floor was just farming stuff on it......a combine(green of course) a tractor, grain bins, and life-size dairy cows that kids could hook up milking machines too!!! it was truly a great time!

About Me

well....where do i begin?? i have never done a "blog" before, and don't know if this is even for me. but a few friends, and one very persistant sister-in-law(esther)really encouraged me to start some sort of "blog" or any place online, to share photos i have taken. so i thought, what the heck!? most everyone knows that photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. so with lots of practice, lots of failing, lots of reading and googling, i feel like little by little i'm getting a little better all the time. and part of the reason for getting better, is because of the famous gina..... whom EVERYONE loves and knows, she has been letting me pick her brain for tips and tricks. also, kris, who i met online after joining a photography forum, who happens to be an awesome wedding phogtographer, she has been a TON of help as well! since i have 3 children, my goal is to be able to truly capture, like a professional can capture, the pure innocence and fun of my children. (and i get it for free!) and, since i have lots of wonderful friends & family, i get to practice on them, too!
