Pumpkin Hunt


Back in Houston again for the annual Pumpkin Hunt and Photo Shoot with the grand-kids. It's always more challenging to do it in 90 degree weather, but off we went for a bit of fun.

First changing Jackson into something photo-worthy,



then we were off as Jordan pointed us in the right direction.



Pre photo shoot,  a lot of pumpkin analysis,



hugging of trees,



and making new friends with the scarecrows.



Meanwhile, Jackson played a little hide and seek,



and spent a whole ton of energy moving pumpkins



and filling wagons to their brim.



Time for a photo shoot.

It's really tough work for a big sister, holding the perfect smile till a little brother looks into the camera with a charming smile of his own.



Sometimes a sister has to do a lot of bribing,



tickling,



peek-a-boo playing,



stare downs,



and even some threatening to get a little brother to cooperate!



Uh, oh! I think she means business!



Now the kissin' starts,



Help me somebody!



She's torturing me!



Guess I better give them what they want! How's this for a smile?



And this one?



Finally, the stars align for a great shot,



and when they do,



there's some sweet music



playing...

Happy Pumpkin Hunting everyone!

  3. My goodness those are gorgeous children! And I love your crisp clear photos. We used to live in Michigan so yes... pumpkin picking is a lot different than what we do in Texas. It appears that you and your husband have the best of all worlds!

  7. Great job! I remember those days all too well. Once the youngest gets to where they really understand bribery, it's all uphill from there. But until then, you're right -- the stars have to align correctly for there to be a good shot of both (or all, in my case) at the same time.
