Much Ado About....a date!

Dusty and I spent our last kid-free evening out tonight. We started out by driving up to 86th street to try out a new Thai restaurant. We've been searching for a good one since our beloved "Thai One On" went out of business. We ate at Sawasdee and had the chicken pad thai. It was pretty good. I missed the peanut sauce from Thai One On a little, but it was still really good. After dinner we headed back downtown to White River park for a performance of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It was performed by the Heartland Actors Repertory Theatre on the outdoor stage in the park. Best of all....it was free!

The play started at 8:00 PM and the stage was positioned so that the sun sat over the river behind the stage

And even though Shakespeare really isn't Dusty's thing, he had to admit that it was something fun and different to do and that the actors did a great job.

Then we had a nice view of the city and canal walking back to the car

Cuteness Overload!

This is Cohen. Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks!

Sneak Peek's - JJ

Here are a few of my favorites from today. Thanks JJ! You did a great job!

Sleepover

Rachel had Madelyn over tonight for a "girls only" sleepover. What do you do for a girls only sleepover....Go to Taco Bell...DUH!!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - it will take approximately 1.5 hours and 3 reprimands for a 3 year old and 4 year old to settle down and go to sleep

More Sneak Peeks

What can I say...I've been busy!

Playin' in the flowers

Took little Gavin's pics this morning. After we were done I ended up playing in the flowers at the park.

Had to include one of my favorite model. :)

Sneak Peeks

Here are a few shots from today. Took Logan's pic for his 6th Birthday. All of Jen's kids and her nephew who is visiting from California. We also managed to squeeze in a few of little Nolan before it started raining. It was starting to thunder when I took these so the lighting was starting to get dicey. Thanks to Caitie who wielded the reflector for me today.

Just another Tuesday

Nothing exciting to report...just another Tuesday

Rachel playing out on the fort

Aaron stalking the neighborhood with his Nerf dartgun

Dusty tackeling the grass

And Rachel and I hanging out on the fort eating a snack of Cookie Crisp while Dusty mows...life is good!

At the Fair

We spent the evening out at the Hendricks County Fair. Tonight there were hot air balloons and fireworks to enjoy.

Random Shooting

I'm trying to venture off of the program setting on my camera a little more. These were shot this evening on aperture priority and manual mode. Fortunately I had a model to shoot tonight. :) Too bad he didn't land on a prettier flower. The purple one was a bit mangled.

Triple Teamed

One photo I have to get every summer is Rachel with her buddies Rylan and Avalyn. We've snapped a swimsuit pic of them every summer since they were born. Today the mom's group headed out to Raccoon Lake so you know it was photo time! (And, yes, my kid has the same swimsuit on as last year!)
