Swimming & Wilderness Photography

.

We went to "Grandma & O'Poopa's" house Thursday for a dip in their pool. It's still way to cold to swim around these parts most days, but there was no holding them back. Tucker & Luca could stand it only a short while, but Brenin was the real die-hard. They all came out with the shivers and snuggled in the hammock with towels and blankets to warm up.

"You people seriously swim at these temperatures?"

Brenin would swim in the dead of winter...she is a total fish!

After the swimming and the shivering, Brenin & Tucker commenced with a game of wildlife photography where one was the "creature" and the other the photographer. Here's a rare butterfly in the wild...can you not just see the imagination in his eyes?!?

Three peas in a pod.

(actually it was a coccoon with 3 giggling butterflies inside)

The wilderness photographer (Brenin) also captured this amazing shot.
She's actually getting pretty good with Mommy's camera!

Dad also served as explorer of this untamed land. We're not sure how he does it, but he plays these games with the kids for HOURS and has even built them a giant pirate ship (the size of a car!), complete with a jeweled sword for each grandchild (even a baby one for Garret!) The man is magical!
