Shoot Me, 1 of 52

http://www.wyomingbarnetts.blogspot.com/

I've seen this challenge on many blogs that I read and I always wanted to participate, but never commited myself to the project. Here is goes - keep me motivated folks to be in some pictures!!

This challenge is an effort to get Mom out from behind the camera for a change and actually be in a picture. I thought it was a wonderful idea because, looking at pictures of events and vacations, I wonder if I was really there - there's no proof! Just proof that a picture was taken by me, but I was never in any. Anyway, here's my first entry.

We are big Dr. Suess fans at my house, so when I found these shirts, I had to have them.

I also discovered, that dressing my kids alike makes it easy to spot them and keep an eye on them in crowded situation, like at Ocean City last week.

Wordful Wednesday - Celebrities on the Boardwalk!

We just got back from an amazing trip to the beach. These images are from the boardwlk. Vendors were dressed as characters to earn extra money from gaining tips as they posed for photos. Well, needless to say, my children were absolutely, completely starstruck! It's almost like seeing the character validated that they must be real!! I think the photos captured there excitement quite well!

July 2010 Family trip to the Beach

Ahhh...Back to reality! I just came back from a fantastic trip to the beach. I took over a hundred pictures but these are some of my favorites that I wanted to share. I am sure many of the others ones will turn up during future posts, so don't worry..hehe.

I am amazed at how relaxing and tranquil the ocean and beaches are. I had such a wonderful time with the family, though we did have our interesting moments, but I will share that on True Story Tuesday ~ Stay tuned!!

I have had a great time catching up on the blogs I missed reading, though I didn't have much time to leave comments.

Enjoy my pictures and thanks for stopping by.

Ray getting in a little surf fishing.

My boys are excited and ready to go exploring.


Oh this was not a fun experience...Ray would build Nick a sand castle to play with and Adam would come along and step on it. Adam thought it was a fun game. Nick - not so much!!
In this picture, Nick is begging his brother to not step on his sand castle. Needless to say, Adam was banished to the other side of the blanket and only permitted to play with his own sand creations.



Digging for sand crabs was a big hit!

The same picture we took last year, just bigger boys! See post below before we left.

Those boys were hard to keep safe when the hard waves came crashing in.

Gearing up, lathering up, and heading out!

Nick and I before seashell hunting.

Looking for the perfect shell.

Just Beautiful!!!

A good picture of both boys!! (such a hard task)

The carnival and the pier - I have lots of fun pics of that to share later too!

Tune into tomorrow, on True STory Tuesday, to find out why Adam is in a stroller.

You can't have a trip with out an injury!! I just wished we could.

Ready for the mornings adventure.

Swimming at one fo the 4 pools our condo had. They met a great little guy that shared his toys and played so nice with them.

Smiling on the boardwalk.

So excited!!

It was awesome, hard to come home, and I want to go back.

I'd go back now if I could!!!

On Vacation...

We are on vacation and, like this picture taken from last year's trip, we are enjoying the

Atlantic Ocean and beaches of Ocean City, Md.

See you in a week, with lots of pictures I'm sure...Bye!

We're Back With Pictures

This was a wonderful pool area for the kids to play. It was the biggest kiddie pool I have ever seen. The kids played and I tanned!

Ready to go to the pool.

Nick at the beach.

Enjoying the pool.

A man-made beach/swimming pool - thanks Daddy!

Too bad it didn't last long - the tide kept washing it away.

Lunch on the deck.

This is the shot of Adam's reaction to seeing the beach. He had never been to the beach before. We kept talking about it and had no idea what to expect. His reaction says it all!! Priceless.

We had a fantastic, relaxing, marvelous, memory filled vacation. We hated to see it end. In fact, we called the realtor to see ig we could rent the house for another night - but it was already rented. Oh well, we had to return to reality sometime. Below are some quick favorite pictures of the week. I will put together a slideshow as soon as I get a chance.

Back to reality now - and it's not fun. I'd rather still be on vacation.

I'm on vacation...

from July 18 - July 25th. I'll post lots of pics upon my return!!

July's Vacation

I wanted to post a few pictures of where we are staying for our vacation in July. We are staying in a small bayside resort called Heron Harbour. I can't wait for some warm sun, the sand between my toes, a tan on my skin, and some relaxing fun times with my family.

If you are in the Ocean City area during the third week of July (18-25), call my cell phone and we can get together!!
