Dodging Cow Pies - The Holloway kids

Without fail, almost every Sunday afternoon consisted of us all piling into the back of old pickups and driving the short trip on the highway (Gasp! I know! In the back of a pickup... ON THE HIGHWAY!!).  With no real destination in mind we'd just head for the hills and see where our uncles or grandpa would take us.  The pasture was a big part of our childhood, clinging to the sides of the pickup as it made trip through a few fences that needed to be opened and continue on it's slow trek up a hill where we'd all pile out, run around, pick crocuses, run through the trees and dodge cow pies.

So when my sister Nikki mentioned a place that reminded her of the pasture I was excited to shoot some photos.  She decided that these would be her kids school photos and I think she made a great decision to use this spot.  We didn't jump into the back of a pickup BUT.. we did cram 8 of us into my Escape (comfortably seats 4) and did have to open a fence and climb down... to get to our spot.  Other than riding inside a vehicle not much was different, there were kids, there were hills and trees to explore in and yes... we were dodging cow pies. 

I know that someone in the shoeboxes of photos at my parents house there are photos similar to these of Nikki, Jen and I.  Someday I know Nik's kids will have a shoebox to look through too.
