Jessica was my rescuer today! She could sense I needed to have a great friend call and suggest I drive to the big city of Cedartown to let our offspring play in the fountains at the park!!!
We had a good time despite my potty training toddler peeing in the play equipment at Mickey D's!!! I don't think it was intentional...I am pretty sure it was a swimming diaper malfunction/defect.
I had GREAT company today and the park was really nice! I would love to go back and let the kids play on the playground first, get hot and then hit the fountains!!! We need to have a Mommy club meeting one day and let all of the children run wild!!!
I discovered today that I have GOT to get more zoom for my camera. Jess let me look through hers and I was drooling over how much more I could zoom in with it...mine is pitiful really!!!) I found several used and refurbished 55-300mm lenses online but I will have to wait a while before I slide that request to the "boss man". :-) I am looking at used and/or refurbished because new ones are in the $500 range...uhhh NO and the refurbished ones are like $169 or so...still ridiculous to my budget and for my skill level....but I REALLY want it!!!! I can already tell this is going to be one of those things that really bugs me until I find a way to get it. Since I really only take pictures of my kids I really need more zoom because they are usually not right in my face doing the cute things they do and when I get close to them with my camera they usually stop doing what they were doing to talk to me. Yep...need that zoom!!!!!!!!! Sorry...I didn't mean to get off on my materialistic wants there for a minute.
Anyway...I did take a couple of pictures that could have been much better with great zoom!!! Okay I will shut up about it...here are the pictures but of course they will probably to to the top of the page because I am a goof who has not idea how to make the pictures go where they are supposed to go and don't really have time to care or learn how!!! :-)
I have a 28-105mm and I have honestly never felt the need for a bigger zoom. I have borrowed bigger ones when shooting weddings but never really even cared when i was just taking pictures of my kids. Of course, I am not a sit on the bench and take pictures from afar kind of mom. I am all about being up in my kids grill. I am so glad ya'll had fun at the park!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the benefits of those swim diapers are. They might keep a gigantic turd from floating off into the pool, but that's about all.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about zooms, but your pictures are really cute. A mommy day at the park sounds fun!
