PORTRAITS OF CHILDHOOD

Skyler C&J


Brooklyn J&C


Jack C&J


Logan J&C


Paige K&R


Charlie C&J



Peyton J&C


These portraits were taken last weekend at a train park in Scottsdale, Arizona. The heat was a scorching 111 degrees, but these little ones look cool as cucumbers. Charles and Jenny brought along sandwiches, salads, strawberries, and drinks for all, but the children were more interested in swinging, going down the slides, climbing on the bars, and generally racing around with little thought of eating. We ended the afternoon with a train ride around the park and an ice cream cone while we watched the merry-go-round....go round and round.

It reminded me of Kiddieland when I was a child. Often, after all the Saturday "jobs" were completed, my parents took us there to ride the ferris wheel, the roller coaster, and the bumper cars. There was always a final ride on the little train around the park before leaving. Five happy children thought their parents were pretty great on those evenings.

  4. Loved this post! Every picture you took turned out so well. Goes to show what a nice camera can capture. I showed Brooklyn the pictures and she proceeded to explain that they were taken at the train park. She had to tell me all about it. Love it!
