Outside Fun With My Boys

Filed Under: Family, Photography

 Edited to add this wonderful collage from Alicia over at Project Alicia. Go over there and download it and make one yourself. It is so fun.

We made icecream after seeing Summer’s Boys of Summer post about making Ice Cream. I thought it would be fun and it was. Next time I am doing it while Carsyn naps though. As you can see in this photo he wasn’t very happy. It made it hard to get photos.

It was pretty good but I think I should have shook it longer. I had two very impatient boys. ha ha.

Dustyn riding around his four wheeler and Daddy chasing him with the wheelie king.

Carsyn swinging.

Sunflare on his toesies.

“Alright mom, that is enough pictures. Get back to swinging me!”

It was so beautiful outside. Only 77 and a nice breeze.

{Linking up with Sky Watch Friday}

Blogging from Bolivia

My new favorite photo of Dustyn. As I was taking the above shot he came up and got in my frame. Love it. He looks like a giant. ha ha.

Live Every Moment Favorite Fridays at Skinned Knees

This is what happens when you play outside all day. He falls asleep in the oddest positions.

Give me your best shot at Better in Bulk PhotoStory Friday

One last one for Crazy Days of Summer: Critters

Alright, alright. One more, don’t shoot me. These things freak me out.

    Oh, love these! I don't know how I missed them! (Found thank to your ice cream reference.) We made a couple of batches this summer as well. But used cream and an electric mixer. I LOVE homemade ice cream. I don’t know if you’ve seen this, but they make “soccer balls” that you can put ice cream mix and ice in and kick around until it’s frozen. I always thought it would be fun to try with kids.

    Love the sunflare on the tootsies. And the sunflare when your oldest walked into the shot! You always have such beautiful pics. And kudos on the homemade ice cream... might try it, but I'm afraid of how impatient my kids (and I) would get...
    • NapTime MomTog says
