Bits and Pieces of The Packards: Do it your self photo shoot!!

Last night as I was trying to fall asleep (I have a terrible time falling asleep when Seth is gone, I lay there and just toss and turn, and think of random things!!) I decided that Dylan and I would do a mini do it yourself photo shoot! The past two summers Ken has done Dylan's pictures, and they are AMAZING! I told Ken that this year I don't want the flowery, pretty scene that I have asked for the last 2 years. Ken is OK with that thank goodness! Now, I need to decided when I want him to do Dylan's pictures. I am restless though (and BORED) so Dylan and I went to a park here in town. This is one of my favorite field trip locations with my students. It is like an old town. It has a mansion, one room school house, log cabin...
I KNOW these pictures are not professional, and I KNOW when we have Ken do them they will look a million times better, but I was pretty proud of myself and my little point and shoot camera!!

These first few tell a story! Enjoy, there are a lot, but my almost 3 year old is so darn cute!!

This is the old church!
This is what I thought of when I saw these...

Dylan thinking...man, I can't believe I am about to get married!

yelling at his soon to be bride...hey, I don't think I am ready to get married!! (really he was yelling cheeseburger, that is what he always says when I take his picture)

Oh man, she is really leaving, I didn't think she would!

Maybe I shouldn't have told her I wasn't ready to get married. Did I just make a HUGE mistake??!!

I think I am going to go talk to her!!!!!

OK, done with my little story! Here are the rest!

This is the log cabin. When I have taken my class to this park in the past we get a guided tour and they get to go in all the buildings. We just had to look through the windows today!

Walking around the fountain.

This is the mansion. When a family first settled in what is now Topeka, they lived here. It is a cool story behind the park and buildings. The kids always love going in here!
