Testing, testing...1...2...3...

I took Lochlan & Gavin to the Monument Valley Park downtown this morning, as I had been told by a friend that there is a walking bridge there that crosses over active railroad tracks and the highway. The weather here has been really warm lately, so we've been getting outside a lot! We have a park right behind our house that we're at all of the time, but I wanted to try somewhere new. Since Gavin is so into trains right now, I thought it'd be fun to take to take him to see the real trains. Also, I wanted to start messing around with Matt's Canon Rebel camera, because I want to get into taking nice photos some more.
As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, there happened to be a train going by about 20 feet away! Gavin kept saying, "choo-choo train" over and over, so I took him out of the car as fast as possible. He stood there in the parking lot watching the train until it was gone. I snapped a few good shots of him, but I liked this one the most:

Here's another one of him saying "choo-choo train" over and over:

There were squirrels everywhere and they kept coming up really close to us! Gavin decided he'd try and chase them all! The staredown of Gavin versus squirrel:

These mountains are practically in our backyard. The snow covered one is Pike's Peak:

Some cute shots of Gavin:


A cute one of my most favorite little man in the world:

I knew this was coming (and we left VERY soon after this):

So those are my shots for the first time playing around with this camera. I brought Gavin to his mom's today for a few days, so I'll have a bunch of Lochlan only the next few days. Looking forward to sleeping in!!!
Matt thinks I should check out some basic photography classes if I really want to get into it. I would love to, as I really enjoy taking photos, I just stink at it!
