I took the kids hiking tonight. It was our first hike of the summer and we kept it simple. Something that I enjoy doing is asking the kids to take pictures with their photos while we’re exploring. Elliott and Emmett are very interested in photography and I’m trying to foster that a bit. Gavin has no interest but I’m encouraging him to step outside his comfort zone.

Today was no exception. I asked the kids to please take four pictures while we were out, and send them to me. Here’s what I got. Note, Emmett and Elliott like to edit their photos, and Gavin sent me two instead of four. Lol

The reason I like doing this is because it’s so interesting to see how they see their world. This is the closest I get to seeing the world through their eyes. It’s a great outlet for them as well and they can express themselves in a unique way.

Here’s what they sent me today.
