I handed my two oldest the camera while hiking with a friend at Ray Harral Nature Center.
I took the picture of the snake, all the rest are from the boys!
After watching me take many pictures of this cute little bunny that visited our yard, my youngest asked if he could take some pictures.
I had just put the camera back in the house and sat down in the hammock.
I knew I should probably put a strap on the camera(we never use them) if he was going to walk around with it.
So I said now was not a good time.
As soon as I said it though I realized his excitement and interest made it a great time.
I did not know how interested he would be in taking pictures when it was more convenient for me.
Isn’t this one of the reasons I homeschool so that my kids can pursue something because they actually want to know more about it instead of it being the next chapter in the textbook?
So I went inside and got my backup camera ready for him to use.
I think saying not right now is okay.
My boys know that I am not there to grant their every wish.
I am just glad this time I said yes.
My oldest tends to question shots.
He deletes them and tries again.
My youngest on the other hand had only good things to say about his pictures.
I heard “got it” over and over again.
These are two of the shots he took.
I love seeing my boys learn with enjoyment.
