Photographing my kids and whatever else strikes me

This is a space for me to display my budding photography skills and also brag a little (maybe a lot) about my kiddos!

Hamilton Pool

March 18, 2017 by Theresa Larson

Today my sister Jenny thought it would be fun for us all to go to Hamilton Pool. It's a nature preserve outside of Austin. It's very beautiful, and there's even a waterfall, so I took along the tripod!

It was a bit crowded (a Spring Break Saturday), but it was as crowded as it was going to get. The parking lot is fairly small, and once it's full you have to wait in your vehicle at the entrance until someone pulls out.

Wallace liked running ahead of all of us and scaring the crap out of me!

Meredith was really good the whole time...until it was time to get back into the car.  "/  We got a solid 2 hours of good behavior out of her though! — Meredith was really good the whole time...until it was time to get back into the car.

I would have loved to have spent more time tinkering with my camera and lenses, but the kids weren't really into it...

Carrying the tripod was a pain in the butt, but it was nice having it for a selfie.  :)  Plus, I'm pretty sure all of the adults ended up taking a turn carrying it, so that was helpful. — Carrying the tripod was a pain in the butt, but it was nice having it for a selfie. :) Plus, I'm pretty sure all of the adults ended up taking a turn carrying it, so that was helpful.

My kids managed to find a "sand box" on our way back out.

Meredith kept bumping her head every time she stood up.

Thanks for getting us out of the house Aunt Jenny!  We all had a good time...with the exception of Meredith...getting back into the car...  ;) — Thanks for getting us out of the house Aunt Jenny! We all had a good time...with the exception of Meredith...getting back into the car... ;)
