Which, at our house, means it's time to bundle up, grab KFC to go, and head to the Riverfront Park for a cozy picnic and stroll. It was a gloomy day, but still fun to carry on this little tradition. And for tradition's sake, we also took plenty of pictures. We got some great shots, except for the fact that Eliot's a stinker when it comes to looking at, let alone smiling for the camera these days. One thing we'll miss about Oregon is how friendly and willing people are to take pictures. The nicest people offered to take pictures for us which resulted in some really nice candid pics of our fam. Here are several of our favorites ...
Fantastic of all of us, don't you think? That's my boy!
Almost picture perfect. "Stare at the camera blankly, Eliot."
This tree was unbelievable. As much as I really like how this picture turned out, I wish it had better captured the bright orange color of the leaves ... a digital SLR is calling me (from a few years away, but still calling ...)
A little fuzzy, but a fantastic shot. Again, thanks to a kind stranger!
Love the boys' faces in this one. Now I know where Eliot gets his devilish grin.
Cheesy boys. I love this photo.
Eliot and me. It's tricky to get him to smile (or look at the camera) these days.
"A kiss, Mama?" Me and my little smoocher.
The sweet woman whose husband took our family shots got Eliot to smile so sweetly for her (don't mind the grape skin in his teeth!). She reminded me a bit of my own mom and made me miss home ...
I dream of someday taking a dinner cruise on the "Willamette Queen" ...
And just because I was feeling artsy ...
