scavenger hunt: july 31

We spent one afternoon this week at a beautiful state park where my in laws were having cousins camp with the middle group of cousins. They have 11 grandchildren so they have three cousins camps each summer. This was the last summer for the oldest group which includes my two boys so they did a two week long trip and went all over the eastern part of the U.S earlier this summer.

1. then - This is my favorite pic of the big cousins from cousins camp 2004. The look on Alec's face cracks me up and you can see that Lauren is about to laugh.  I love Mason's smile and Taylor giggling next to them... 
now - I had the idea to recreate the photo with the middle group of cousins. I wasn't even thinking about the prompt at the time, but it works. One of them wasn't happy about being kissed, and one didn't want to actually touch someone so sweaty, but they were good sports!


2. walking empty streets


3. repeating pattern


4. floor


5. fingertips

    These are great - the repeating patterns one in particular and your now and then shot made me giggle - I'm sure you had alot of persuading to do to get that shot recreated.

    What a fun recreation of the old photo, too! It's crazy how much kids change in such a short time, huh?

    Those were great Deb! I like the idea you did for the first one.

    So,was the camp in Madisonville? That is such a neat idea for the cousins.

    Number 3 was just STUNNING... My favorite!

    Can't wait to get back here, hopefully next week for sure.
