Family Pictures - Summer 2017 Edition


I have been craving for some professional family pictures and as we had just celebrated Kade's 2nd birthday, I figured we could knock out both together! Mental note - do not take outdoor pictures in the middle of summer while living in North Carolina! It made no difference that we met the photographer at 8am, the humidity was still there!


Doing the mom thing and explaining the rules for the race!

We met Courtney, an old high school friend of mine that does photography on the side, at Crowder Park in Apex. It's a really lovely park with a boardwalk over the little pond filled with tons of turtles. Obviously, we affectionately call it turtle park! Brock had actually just completed a little 3 day camp here earlier that week that he LOVED. A real camp (for 4 year olds) as it was outside all day!

You can tell the turtles are trained well - as soon as you hang over the side of the railing, they swim right towards you looking for food!



While Brock was content to watch the turtles off the boardwalk, Kade was happy with running and picking up sticks!
THAT FACE!! LOVE IT! 



And you can tell the humidity based on how frizzy my hair was getting!


I got some sweet kisses from that cuddle bug that totally made up for it!
 
Brock was very throwing things in to the water - I will say he made every effort to be careful not to hit the turtles!

 



After all that, the boys were ready to let off steam on the playground! Even Brent managed to go down the slide with Brock!




What a big smile on this little boy's face!
