October pictures of the kids

We had a nice break in the weather that lasted for almost 2 weeks. The temps were in the mid-to upper 70s. It was sooo nice. On the last day of this niceness, I took the kids to a nearby park and tried to take pictures of them. I say 'tried' because with 8 of them, there is usually at least 1 who doesn't want to cooperate. We had one who was fine with the pictures until he found out he had to wear church pants!! Then, there were 2 others who thought it would be funny to make faces at the camera (I didn't realize this was happening until I got home and looked at them.) You should be able to tell who the 'funny face' kids were--one boy, one girl. Here are a couple of the pictures...

**First, the pictures of the boys...


You may not be able to see, but Nathan is teasing Daniel.
I think he put a leaf down his back :)
**Now, the girl pictures...

One while we were trying get Haven ready
I know Sarah's not looking, but this a very natural pose for her!
I like this picture :)

**Ok, the pictures you've all been waiting for...all 8 kids together :)

They all ran out on the dock and I snapped this one!
Find the funny faces??!!
Funny faces and snarly face
Decent--I'm trying to figure out a photoshop type of program to fix this one!
Another decent one
Different location, different pose--in order of age

**Random pictures of some of the kids...

Haven by the lake


Ethan
Daniel and Haven
Nathan and Haven
This is a joke, but it turned out to be a good picture of Nathan!
We just had Morris Gleiser at church and he told a story about a man who had been blind for a long time. He was able to have surgery to restore his eyesight. On the way home, he saw a trash can with a swing-top thingee and thought it was so neat. He had his wife take his picture next to the trash can. This one doesn't have the cool top, but Nathan mentioned the story as he walked by it and I took his picture!
This is the park...Notice the name of the lake :)


**Some pretty pictures of the park...







**Next up?? Pictures of Ethan while he was sick :(
