Remember way back when we drove to Wisconsin for Indie’s birthday? Well, here is the version 2 I promised. Better late than never. And don’t worry, we will return to regularly scheduled programming complete with awesome newborn shots. Yes, newborn! tomorrow.
So, 24 hours in a car in the span of 4 days=get creative! Although I am blessed with a little girl who LOVES to travel (hmmm…wonder where she gets that!) so we actually had a ton of fun. We did take a couple side trips to see the giant “pinwheels” as Lena called them.
yes, I know they have a giant windmill coming out of their head but I had to include this because this picture makes me laugh. The wind was bitter. bit.ter. and we got out of the car with grand delusions of walking to the windmill but 5 feet in Lena turned around and we all happily followed. This is my mom and dad. giving their very stoic “i’m freezing and about to blow away, why are you pointing that camera at me” pose:)
then this is what happens when you get bored. first up, self portrait of me and the lena bean.
next up, an impromptu photo shoot while Lena ate grapes (hence the hilarious mouth!)

I want to purchase the giant pinwheel picture.
Any plans to make a gallery of your work such as giant pinwheels so I may purchase?
These pics of Lena are SO CUTE! I also love the giant pinwheel pictures – particularly the first one. The stark contrasts and barren-ish look is fantastic!
Soo cute Shannon
