Max & Miles – Nature Scavenger Hunt

Max & Miles – Nature Scavenger Hunt

We took the boys back to one of our favorite spots, Twin Lakes Park, so Miles could gather items for his Nature Scavenger Hunt for school. We looked for animals tracks & birds nests, gathered fall leaves and kept track of our treasures to take home.

And on the way out, a nice family shared their bread so we could take turns feeding the many ducks & geese in the pond.

Max & Miles – Art / Artists

Max & Miles – Art / Artists

Max is a fan of Amazon’s new show: Creative Galaxy. And whenever he watches one, he always wants to do some art project afterwards. Which is how it came to pass that we had the painting supplies out. Which of course led to some body painting because that always seems to be more fun than plain old paper.

And as part two of the art-theme – we took the boys to The Contemporary Austin and Laguna Gloria / Driscoll Villa to check out the outdoor sculptures. They got to run all over in the name of art appreciation. Win-win.

If you are interested in a family photo session at Laguna Gloria yourself – there’s a small fee and some paperwork – but it’s a great spot.

Max & Miles – Twin Lakes Park

Went exploring at Twin Lakes Park this past weekend. And we only got to see part of the park because the YMCA had the rest closed for a private event. But just on the trail was a variety of spots to explore. We plan to go back – if only to check out an amazing water slide we saw far in the distance.

Cooper Brothers – Sibling Portrait Session

Cooper Brothers – Sibling Portrait Session

Let’s all welcome the newest Cooper Brother: Sebastian!

I got to go play with these three as they took turns holding their younger brother and goofing around the backyard. Matt (age 3) kept bringing me all the props he wanted to include (yoga block, ice pack, pink gardening gloves). Henry (age 6) was so sweet and concerned that Sebastian (2 weeks old) was about to explode his diaper. And Sebastian was relaxed and happy to be with this bunch.

Please enjoy this sneak peek of their sibling portrait session. To see all the photos and purchase prints from their session click HERE.
