Cheap Entertainment

May 29th, 2009

I Kissed my kids on the head,
told them to have fun, make memories and not contract any waterborne diseases,
and then I sent them out the door to play in the rain.

I love the rain, but mostly I love watching my children play in it; soaking up the pure joy in life.

    I love these pictures. I have been wanting to take some puddle splashing pictures of my boys too. I am wondering what compelled Abrie to sit in the water, haha! That last picture is SO cute.

    uh, you kill me with your talent woman. i love looking at your blog for inspiration, and i like your quirkiness too:) i love your photos, always!

    when you said “gutter modeling. ever heard of it?” i thought you were referring to the picture above it. i laughed. then i scrolled down and realized you were talking about the picture below it, and it was that much cuter. what cute kids you have, too. seriously.

    I did the same thing yesterday with my kiddos! I think my neighbors thought I was out of my mind to let them “swim” in the gutter! Cute pictures as always!

    You are incredible. Did you use a particular action for that second pic that has kind of a faded 70’s look to it? If so… I would love to get my hands on it…

    You have inspired me for months and I just now got up the courage to ask you a question. So here it goes… What lens did you use to take these pictures? They are stunning. And you know that all of your pics are stunning. Pieces of art!!!

    Hey Amanda,
    These were all shot with my 24-70mm canon lens. Hope that helps!
