Santa Cow Visit

Filed Under: Christmas, Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn

Our Chickfila was having Kids night and we went by there to see Santa Cow and to get Dusytn’s face painted. Carsyn loved Santa Cow and did not cry at all. YAY! I was so happy. He just kept talking and talking to him. I thought it was so cute. Just wish they would have looked at me. Oh well, next time!!

Then Dustyn did a craft and got his face painted.

The final.

My ISO for these photos was 3200. My old camera didn’t even go up that high. I think they turned out pretty good considering the light I had to work with.

Are you all ready for Christmas? What do you have left to do? I am almost done wrapping.  It still doesn’t feel like Christmas. We have been having some warm weather. It has been pretty crazy.

    That looks like so much fun! I miss having a chick-fil-a just down the road! (And maybe Sammy wouldn't have been scared of Santa Cow, haha) Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

    Oh too cute! Love these photos! And I actually like that he isn't looking at the camera. It's interesting that way...more candid. And his face painting is adorable! So cute! Thanks for linking up to Oh Snap!

    that tongue! So cute and thanks for the tip on bumping the ISO, I wasn't sure if that was a "no no" or not! I'll be trying it with all the bad christmas lighting this weekend.

    Oh my goodness! i LOVE that pirate face painting! That ROCKS! The Chick-fil-a in Tampa is all decked out for Christmas. They have the most amazing light show with snow and carolers. It's part of our Advent calendar activities every year.

    Regardless of the light you always manage a great picture which is always enjoyable and inspiring to look at.
