Embrace the Camera: Family Outing

So, you’d think after 6 weeks away I’d have loads of photos stockpiled. Well, not so much. But I do have SOME and I figured since it’s time to embrace the camera – it’d be a good time to share (since I actually was IN some of these)





A couple weekends ago we took a trip to the Build-a-Bear Workshop. The boys each had a gift card from Papa & Grandma burning a hole in their respective pockets. So Grandma and Aunt Cassidy joined us to find the perfect bears. (poor Papa had to work!)

We hadn’t ever done the whole Build-a-Bear experience before, so the boys were very excited. Zack even picked out his bear online before we ever got to the store. (which was quite handy)

Add a sound? I think not.

Adding stuffing. Austin tried to just STOMP on it and be done.

Looking for an outfit for "Doggie"

He chose a Hawkeye t-shirt and a football. What else?

Busy, busy boys.

Austin was DETERMINED to carry his own.

It was a fun experience, and the boys are still carrying ‘Luke’ and ‘Doggie’ around everywhere (In fact, when Austin saw me looking at these pictures he immediately went and got ‘Doggie.’) Thanks to Papa & Grandma for the gift cards and the chance for the boys to have such fun!

Now YOU go and “embrace the camera”!
