Japenese Gardens

Maren, our little goofball, never seems to cooperate at picture time, so the following is a series of one shoot where I tried to get a decent picture. Not sure I got one. This is her crazy action shot.

Except maybe this one, but its blurry. The measures we take to capture our memories!

I guess I shouldn't blame her for how often the camera is in her face, but to my defense if the camera worked, the lighting was perfect and she stood still with a beautiful smile on her face, I think it wouldn't be in her face so much! This is her intense fake smile.

This is her I am smiling as big as possible face

Maren being the bird like the one behind her.

I love the texture of the background, and since I am the one always taking the pictures I thought I would include myself in one.

Our amazing view of Mt Hood. Looked a lot more impressive in real life.

I find it harder and harder to get a family picture now that there are four of us. This the best we could do. Would be pretty good if I wasn't holding Maren so awkwardly. I love Eva's little face. Anyway, the gardens were pretty and peaceful.
