hensler nursery photo session.

the great american backyard campout...

we had such a fun weekend! owen + trevor made lots and lots of yummy smores. (owen couldn't get enough of the marshmallows.) douggie joined us for some cornhole. adam grilled burgers and hot dogs. (with lettuce from our garden, of course.) the boys were back and forth between the sprinkler + the pool all weekend long. and owen loved the tent. good times!

i barely had my camera out all weekend, but i did manage to get a few photos that i love...

hensler nursery test shot.

i hope we can get a little more cooperation than this for the real thing...

although i must admit, as a momma + a photographer... i love this photo! love the light. love the crop. love owen's mischievous expression. love that adam is just peeking in.

and one of our master gardener... 

the indy zoo.

we had such a fantastic time visiting with the animals at the indianapolis zoo. owen + trev got the chance to feed a giraffe and touch a shark! they got to take a ride on the animal carousel and the white river junction train! and after watching the dolphin adventure show, they got completley soaked in the splash park! trevor's fave were the meerkats, and owen decided to mimic the giant tortoise by nibbling on a few blades of grass. the boys especially loved spending the weekend with papa d, grandma b, and uncle douggie!

tyler's tender.

owen just loves this train themed restaurant. 

he is always asking to go to the 'train house.'

he gets to be the controller for the model trains.

he gets to be the engineer on his very own train ride.

and he even gets his food served up on a little model train.

such a fantastic place for our little train lovin boy!
