Sunday Funday!

On Sunday (October 28th), Kyndall and I attended church with my family and then scurried off for a fun-filled afternoon!  We met up with Michael's sister Mary Beth and her daughter Beatrice.  MB and Bea live in England and don't get to visit Tallahassee nearly as often as I do.  So, when they're in town we always try to get the girls together for a play date.  Bea is only about 3 months younger than Kyndall and they always have a great time together!  These two cuties will be Kelly and Michael's flower girls in just about 6 months!  Can't wait to see them all dressed up together!
 
We met Mary Beth and Bea at Zoinks (or whatever it's called now) for some bounce house fun!  Kyndall loves this place and I figured Beatrice would as well!
 







 

We decided to change things up a little and send the girls down head first!!
 




 
We can't get out of that place without riding the kiddie rides......



I was thankful to have my Mom, Kelly and Michael with me because this place will wear a parent OUT!!  We all took turns climbing and jumping and sliding with Kyndall and Bea.....
 




 

Two cuties in a dump truck, coming through!
 



I got brave and lugged Kyndall all the way to the top of the BIG slide!
 

 
Not the most attractive shot of me, but I love K's face!

 
MB and Bea's turn........


Love Mary Beth's face!!
 


 
Uncle Michael's turn......
 


The girls played a few games and earned some tickets which Kyndall cashed in for an entire brown bag full of dum dum lollipops!!  Oh joy.
 


I snuck out of our play date a little early, but for good reason!  I had been looking forward to taking a two-on-one photography workshop with the amazing Robin Adams for several months. Sunday afternoon, my fellow photography loving BFF Betsy and I met up with Robin at her studio.  She taught us some very important photography skills and then took us to a local park to practice.  She served as our model as Betsy and I spent several hours practicing and learning.  She threatened us if we posted these pictures on FB, but she never said anything about our blogs!  =)
 




I learned SO much, but I know I have a long way to go!  I hope I can continue taking these workshops and classes so that eventually I'll feel comfortable enough with my camera to always shoot on manual and NEVER return to Auto again!  We'll see......
 
When I got home later that night, I found Kyndall snuggled up on the couch with my Dad watching....you guessed it, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!
 


 
It was a busy, fun day!
