Let’s Go Fly a Kite

Posted in Family

Munchkin and I picked up a really cute gecko kite on clearance at Target for just over a dollar.  When we went camping over Memorial Day weekend, the kite came along “just in case”.  Munchkin doesn’t remember ever flying a kite.  She did when she was younger, but apparently, she no longer remembers.  She was really looking forward to learning.

Foto Friday Challenge: Happy

Posted in Christian Life, Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

As I looked around this week and thought about the theme for this challenge – happy, I realized, once again, how blessed I really am.  A simple photography challenge put my mind in motion.  So many different thoughts filled my head.  This week’s challenge became more of a way to capture the moment of some of the things that make me happy instead of taking “the perfect” shot.
