We decided to go on a picnic (or picky nicky as Jared calls them) before church. We went to Wallermill, and I was really wishing we could jump on a paddleboat. Anyway, while we were there, we decided to try for a family picture since my dad requested one. We brought our not-so-nice tripod and hoped Luke would cooperate.
Set up shot. Jared was trying to figure out where to position the tripod. Right away, we could tell the pictures wouldn't turn out quite right. The shadows were all wrong.
This was the first sign that Luke wasn't going to cooperate. We tried a few (that all looked like this) before we gave up and let Luke run around. He had only one object: to try and get in the water.
Luke loved watching the geese! He would laugh when they flapped their wings, but mostly he just stared at them very intently. I was glad they showed up because the only time he wouldn't fight me to run into the water was when the geese were right in front of us. With them so close, he was content just to watch them.
Before we broke into lunch we decided to try for a family picture one more time. These are the only 3 that turned out okay. I like the last one the best. Of course, we need to do some editing to fix some shadows. We'll try cropping these for you, dad, to try to get them in the portrait orientation. I'll send them to Wal-mart when they're done along with a family picture from June.
