Halloween 2010

Once a Bunhead, Always a Bunhead

Recently I have been following the work of a photographer in New York. He takes amazing shots of ballet dancers in and around the city. Since my cute hubby is quite the photographer, I asked him if we could try something similar. We went up the canyon to Log Haven, the Capitol Building and the Cathedral of the Madeline. After only a few hours, some major goose bumps (it was freezing!) and only a few weird looks from on-lookers, we ended up with some pretty nice shots...or at least we think so! (Click on them to see the whole gallery)

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head

Landon had a little friend, Ellie, that lived right across the way from us in Quarry Bend. Since then Landon has considered Ellie his "best friend" and nearly every night before bed we have to tell Landon a story that inevitably involves Ellie is some way. These pictures depict only one of their little play dates. They were taking turns putting the Mr. Potato Head pieces on each other. Of course I couldn't miss a picture opportunity and snapped a few quick shots.

Hogal Zoo

On a lazy Saturday afternoon we decided to run up to the zoo and spend a few hours. Brooklyn was amazed by all the animals. Nearly every one got a very enthusiastic wave from our little Brookie. Landon was probably more into all the people there. As usual he would strike up a conversation with just about anyone within listening range. Our favorite exhibit was probably the elephants. There was a little baby that had more fun kicking around a big metal trash can than playing with the toys intended for this use (Sound like your kids, or is it just mine?).
