So...apparently my brother convinced my dad to upgrade his nice digital camera, from a Nikon D200 to a Nikon D300 (whatever that means.) He called me up and asked if I could post his camera on KSL and sell it for him since I've sold a ton of stuff on KSL. I laughed and said that that was ironic b/c I have been on KSL looking for a nice camera. I've been putting away money here and there with intentions of purchasing a nice camera sometime in the next year after I save enough. Well...long story short my dad wanted me to buy his camera from him and "convinced" me that I was getting a good deal. I'm buying it for what he was going to post it on KSL for, he's just going to let me pay it off over the next year since it is MUCH more than I anticipated on spending. That means I have an almost new, photographer's camera!!! I have been SO excited since I got it I've been taking pictures of EVERYTHING, eventhough I really don't know what I'm doing yet.
N-e way, for Father's Day my mom gave my dad a grandparents season pass to Thanksgiving Point. So on Monday I took the kids and met my parents there for the FHE (Josh worked late.) We have never been to the Children's Discovery Gardens before and we absolutely loved it. My dad brought his camera so he gave me my first lesson while we were there. Sorry all the random pics, but I still can't believe how much better the pictures are than from my little camera. Here we are at Noah's Ark in the entrance. I expected the kids to get wet, but I didn't expect Brooklyn to tumble in and get soaked. My mother instincts overpowered the photographer's instincts and I rushed to her aid w/o taking pictures. So here's all the "before" pictures:
I can't believe that I took this picture. I'm SO excited to continue learning how to do all this stuff!

I am so glad that I made it in time to spend a little time with the fam! And yes, I am SUPER jealous of your camera. I have wanted one of those for a long long time!
Brooklyn is so adoreable. I love the two pics of her close up!! I can see so much of you in her. She reminds me of one of your baby pics that used to be in the den back at the old house. So cute!!
