We discovered a little lake not too far from here, and even skipped church on Sunday so that we could go. Honestly, just getting through the service with our three monkeys is such a battle lately. I
I warned a Grandma to watch the blog today for photos of a little bean sitting in a lake. I got so many great shots, if I do say so myself.
Then I changed my mind. I'm going to use my photos from yesterday for You Capture.
But you don't hold cuteness hostage from a Grandma. Oh, no no no no...
So here she is, my little bean (fourteen months old).

Sitting in a lake.
With all her clothes, and her cloth diaper. Completely soaked and as happy as a little soggy bean could possibly be.
Now with Grandma temporarily satisfied (I'll post more later), here is the fun that was our yesterday afternoon.
A dog day of summer!

Hot sunshine, a sprinkler, and a dog.
Yes, our dog that killed the fawn. I've forgiven her. Her name, Mercy, is appropriate in so many ways.

When you're dripping wet from head to toe, what could be better than finding a cool rock?

Darn kids! I wanted to shoot everything back-lit since the mid-day sunshine was so harsh. They had a blast moving the sprinkler around and I just couldn't keep up (since keeping my gear dry was my main priority).

Oh well, even front-lit I still love these!

Awesome captures! I love the ones with your dog!
Great shots! I don't think I have any water shots from this past week :( I love the lake one!
The grandma loved little bean's picture. What wonderful captured moments of the boys. Best of all, I get to see them this weekend!
These are such fun captures - they look like they're having a blast.
The bean in water is adorable!
I love the collage at the end, too. ;) All that water in the face!
Great captures! :)
Love the pictures! Running through a sprinkler in the summer is the best!
That looks like so much fun! I just love the second shot of your son and the dog!
And the 'bean' in the water, well, that epitomized cuteness! :D
The first sprinkler shot is phenomenal. Really great collection. =)
(But I don't know how I feel about your dog right now.) :(
What a fun time! That first shot is adorable, but they are all sweet, and look like they are having a blast!
They're making some fun memories in those captures!
Those are all great! I really like the one with kid, dog, and sprinkler!
Wow, every single one of these is awesome! Makes me want to run and jump and play!
It looks so fun !
The first one is too adorable for words. The water, the clothes, the delight on her face! Awesome.
And the rest are awesome too. Browsing through your blog I see that you take just the kind of pictures that I love. Animals, babies, nature, kids ......
Although they're all wonderful photos, the one of the dog looking down at the sprinkler is the one that speaks to me. I love it!
Nice shots, they're very fun!
The picture of your little one in the lake is adorable and I can't wait to see the rest of your lake shots, but I'm glad you shared the other ones as well.
I love the silly faces they all make when playing in the water, but I particularly love the first one with your son and your dog. There's actually joy on your dog's face! How sweet. I can see why you've forgiven her. ;)
I was terrified about getting my camera wet this week, too! I love how you can see every water droplet in some of your shots. Very cool.
Love the bean and the dog and the rock and the boys! AUGH! Too delicious!
Love the sprinkler shots! So much fun :) The second shot is my favorite...
way to celebrate the day! Thise doggy action shots are super cool!
I love all this watery goodness! Those are great shots - love the big smiles!

Great shots! Love the sprinklers!
