One of my goals for the nice day was to get some good kid shots. After the trains, we explored more of Union Station and took some fun shots. If you have kids, I am sure you can relate to the madness. How many shots do you REALLY have to take before you get that perfect photo? You know, where all the kids are looking in the same direction, not moving and showing their true smile? Sigh...I do enjoy the funny out takes that we get along the way though...Can you just imagine how crazy and insanely loud our house can be??
After Union Station, the kids asked to go across the street to Crown Center. Autumn wanted to see the Gingerbread exhibit and they all wanted to see Santa's Candy Cane Village. The Gingerbread was really neat but it only took about 3 minutes to enjoy all it had to offer...though we did appreciate the skill it took to build such big and elaborate cookie houses...it made us hungry too. When we got to Santa's village, the boys were not sure they wanted to go in (after seeing the line) but Autumn begged us to wait...and while we were waiting I had an opportunity to teach the kids a lesson...no matter how frustrating it can be to have your mother ask you to wear a nice sweater for family pics...it could always be worse...they could be the poor family behind us who were dressed in matching santa dresses, hats and rudolph sweaters............ When the kids got inside the village, they found their favorite part and stayed there most of the time. They loved the carnival like concave/convex mirrors that made you look funny but since we had seen santa 2 weeks earlier we skipped the $9 photo session.
As we left Crown Center I tried once again for that PERFECT photo...
