Hip hip hooray, it's a Gymboree Day! {Day 2: Editing}

 Madeline is a Gymboree nut.  When we walk through the door she can't get her shoes off fast enough.

The welcome song is sung by grown ups and toddlers alike with a little dancing mixed in.

Then there are some tough choices to make.  Slides or bouncing?  Climbing or rocking?

Climbing won today and it was more than a challenge to get her off this bridge when it was time for the Freeze Dance.

Class finishes with a visit from Gymbo the Clown, Gymbo Dance and stamps for everyone.  Hip hip hooray!  It's a Gymboree Day!

Wow, big fish! {day 1: composition & perspective}

Day 1 of the Photo Challenge is fine tuning composition and perspective.  The thing about composition and perspective?   

 It ain't easy when you're snapping photos of a 18 month old and 4 year old.  Especially with sting rays swimming under your feet.

The aquarium has a 4-D movie adventure complete with bubbles, wind and fragrances.  The 'bananas' weren't smelling too appetizing.

Madeline clapped every time after her seat stopping shaking.

We rode turtles,

watched the dolphin show,

and exhibited our best penguin behavior.

When Madeline watched the whales go by she gasped, "Wow.  Big fish."

Spring Into Action Photo Challenge

The next two weeks are going to be photo-heavy in Ellie-Town. 

The SITS Spring Into Action Photo Challenge begins tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited.  I've always loved taking pictures and am looking forward to using new techniques and improving their quality as well as enhancing the quality of Ellie-Town through better photos.
