Today was an absolutely gorgeous day! The sun was shining and it wasn't too hot :] Betsy brought Parker and Preston out to Franconia Sculpture Garden to have an adventure with me! If you haven't been to Franconia, I recommend it - it most definitely is a sight to see! It's filled with a ton of different sculptures that are built from every day things, it's crazy how cool it is. I'm not sure exactly where some of these people come up with the ideas, but as a photographer - I'm glad they do, because it's so much fun for pictures.
I came packed full of snacks, games, and camera space.
While Preston finished his nap in the car with his aunt | Betsy {mom}, Parker, and I headed off to a wall {fence} made out of trees. |sidenote| SUCH a cool background if you're looking to take some pictures :] Back on track.. we started out playing with bubbles! With Parker being only 2, he is one of the most polite little boys I've ever met, oh, did I mention that his eyes are unbelievable? Literally when I say ice blue... it doesn't even begin to describe how amazing they are! Geez, back on track, yet again. So, we were playing with bubbles and Parker got a little too close with his mouth and his face was just priceless! Still makes me smile thinking about the cute crunched face he made!!
We decided that we were going to start our journey around the garden after that, we came to what would resemble a play ground {swings, slides, tunnels}. Our only problem seemed to be that there was a music video going on! Parker didn't mind and still checked out the spot, ehh, he decided after 1 time around that we were ready for the next spot. By this time, brother Preston joined us! Man, can he crawl!! It was tough to keep up with him! When he's on a missing {just like his big brother} he gets there! Oh, again, I forgot to mention how gorgeous his eyes are - you seriously get lost in them! Unreal!!
So it was Betsy, Parker, Preston, and I - our next spot was a hanging house. At first we decided it was scary, then figured it was okay because someone put it that way. We got some great shots of mom and her boys on our garden adventure! It was time to head back through the wooden tunnel to our starting location. We were going to meet baby cousin Claire back there.
Once getting back to our {fence}, we took some posed shots of the cousins, aunties, and uncle and then since the boys were so good, they got cupcakes! The boys stripped down to their undies and the frosting was on their tongues in record time. Preston was digging in and managed to get frosting everywhere :] He had it on his legs, diaper, eye lashes, nose, you name it - it was there! Along with the frosting was dirt and grass - tooo cute for words though. Parker on the other hand was very neat about his frosting! He licked every single finger after getting some on it. Preston wanted more though, so Parker shared some with his baby brother {he's such a good sharer}. He got frosting on his nose and it was giggle city after that!
We had so much fun! Thank you so much for having so much fun with us! And thank you for posting this... It is so nice to hear that other people think my kids are as wonderful as I think they are {your post brought tears to my eyes}.
