The Land of K.A.‘s photography theme this Thursday is all about fun! I have a few of… who else? You guessed it! My kids having fun!
Problem is that the photos are not the greatest photography-wise. They are always out playing in the bright, glaring sun (I really need to get a polarizer lens for my little Fuji!) so although I have metered and set my manual settings as best as I could, things just got overexposed. Doesn’t help that I have these fair skinned kids and they reflect the sun like aluminum foil! LOL
So I have alot to learn about photographing during a bright sunny day. OK, enough blabbering… here’s my photos of fun!
Mikayla had her birthday this past Saturday and from us, her dear ol’ parents, she got a new bike! A purple 15-speed Huffy Lakota at that. Super nice and Mikayla loves zooming along. Daddy is going to teach her how to use the different speeds this weekend.
Gosh! In this photo she looks all grown up! She’s only 10, though.
Rachel wanted to ride her bike with sissy.
And Josh looks in on the fun!

Just look at those grins! Fun for sure. Happy birthday to your eldest! I find it’s often not the technically perfect photos that I love the most.
these are so adorable! great job!
love those trike pics — she looks really pleased with herself!
bikes are the bestest ever!
Those are great shots of the kids having fun! Those middle ones…could she get any cuter?? That grin is just fabulous.
I know what you mean about the kids reflecting light like aluminum foil. I definitely have that problem here, too LOL!
Was there any better Christmas/birthday/holiday than the one where you got your first bike? I still remember mine. My cousin, Jason, helped me outfit my bike with a deck of my grandparents good playing cards so I could pretend it was a motorcycle. Heaven!!
Blessings!

Those are all adorable – I especially love that last one!
Lacy, can you believe I never learned how to ride a bike! :-o
I don’t know why… I don’t even remember ever owning one growing up. I walked everywhere. WIshed I learned though…
Oh, they are all so cute!
Wow, what fun with a big wheel! She took a really sweet picture and looks to be having a blast. :D

the harsh sun is definitely hard, but i think you captured the FUN – and that is the important part!
LOVE that last one best, they are all great though! The kids are getting so big!
GREAT shots! I always loved bike riding as a kid – so much fun!
