We visited Bonfante (Gilroy) Gardens again this weekend and took our big camera so we could get better action shots. But the kids really weren't interested in posing, smiling (or even looking!) at the camera so we played hide and seek with them so we could get pictures of them smiling as they ran towards us.
Even though they know the rules, what 3 year old wants to follow them? While Mommy was trying to hide behind big rock and they were supposed to be turned around and counting, Daddy caught them peeking! That sure makes it easier to find Mommy, huh! Silly sweet girls!
We got so many precious pictures on Saturday! I'll try to feature them in some new collages and work some stories around them.
I don't think I've ever been to an amusement park that is more beautiful than Gilroy Gardens. Since we're season pass holders, we visit several times per week and have noticed that it's not ever very busy -- even on weekends. We hope the park is making a profit and will continue to operate since it's our favorite fun place!
I just love how your collages look like they just melt onto the blog page. Are you still using Lumapix? I've just started looking at some digital scrapbooking stuff. I haven't chosen a collage program yet though. I need to start practicing before my girl arrives for sure!

Hey we took the girls there for the first time on Sunday. We held our breath as we plopped them into the toddler rides and walked away, but they LOVED them. Rode all by themselves like they'd been doing it forever. (Sob, they're growing up so fast)
Damn, that collage is rockin! Beautiful.

I understand why you don't want it shared. I appreciate being able to read it myself. I hope you heard that we received our TA and are headed to China August 12th. I am thrilled. About your hide and seek cheaters, My sisters do it too. They cover their faces but open their fingers and thik we can't see them. Stinkers, aren't they : ) I hope your little ones are doing well.

I wish I was that talented! Wow, gret collage and great pictures. They clearly had a blast. That Maddy with her hair cut is looking so much like my Sally lately. Both girls as usual, stunning.

Hi Donna,
Isn't it a fun place? Emma loves it!
I'm a little free on Friday if you want to go but I can only stay until 12noon.
Let me know,
Becky

First of all, GORGEOUS collage! You are so good! Second, Sophie LOVES playing hide & seek- it's her very favorite thing to do (I just took video last night and am working on a post as well)! And yes, she cheats too! So cute though- aren't they?
It's so wonderful keeping up with your happy, beautiful girls! Hopefully sooner as well, but I think we are coming up for Easter- will you be around then?
Hugs, Shana :)
