winter sun, paper planes and boys [canberra child photographer]

As I was sitting at my desk doing some work yesterday I happened to glance out my window and something occured to me. It had been a while since I had taken any photos of my boys. I have been so busy with work and dealing with sick children over the last few weeks that that is all I have been thinking about. Now we have just had a long weekend and the weather was just beautiful. I was sitting at my computer lamenting that I had spent a great deal of the long weekend inside either cleaning our house from top to bottom or working, aside from a few trips out, one to see my beautiful niece.
So when I glanced out the window I suddenly had the urge to grab the boys and my camera and head out to a spot that I had eyed off about 6 weeks ago. Now my boys really don’t co-operate so well when it comes to havign their photo taken, I think they got sick of me a few years ago….lol. Then the thought occured to me to make some paper planes and go to the new spot. So I made some paper planes, rounded up the troops and off we went.
Well the new spot is just as fabulous as I thought it would be and I can’t wait to go back there. Unfortunately my paper planes didn’t fly too well but Brendan managed to make some adjustments to a couple and man they flew. He even managed to get them to fly back to him. So he is on plane duty next time we go.
The boys had a ball and I think they may even be keen to go back and have more photos done, especially if we take Daddy’s paper planes with us. We capped off a lovely spontaneous afternoon with some ice-creams. A perfect ending to a perfect afternoon.
