Yup, you read that right and I heard it right. And to top it off, I had come right near dusk. BUT I knew that this wasn't going to be a quiet crowd, I felt quite confident that the bears would have absolutely no desire to hang out with us.
Todd and Jenny are friends of mine from our old church and it was good to catch up with them while I shot. This family knows how to have laugh and how to have fun together. Jenny homeschools their 4 children and it sounds like a blast! Joe, their youngest son continually pointed out locations to use and ideas to try during the hour and a half we spent together. I tried most of his suggestions, but decided to forego the one where we would tie up his older sister to a post and make her free herself. Apparently that is a favorite pastime of the kids.... what a hoot! That is something I never thought of growing up with my sisters. Sure I did some mean stuff to them, but it never involved tying them up. BUT we also never tried to recreate Joan of Arc like they did.
It was a fun time together and was a great start to what was a weekend full of photo shoots.
They had this great play area (okay basically the whole yard), I loved this ladder they'd made on the trees. Incidentally the bear zone was just to the right of this. At least we had something sturdy to climb if we needed!
I think that this is my favorite photo of the evening. We didn't get a typical fall evening, which is usually full of lots of warm light filling up the trees making everything a beautiful golden color, but still got some autumn in the background!
