What happens when you give a camera to a Tween?

This is exactly what i did In the summer. Jak was nearly 12 and is just getting into photography.

We was staying at a Haven caravan site in caister, our caravan was pretty close to the grassy sand dunes and on the other side was a lovely wide beach. Jak went off one morning with the camera in hand and came back with these fabulous shots

What do you think? Will he cut it as a Photographer

The sun has got his hat on

Published on by mumof3musketeers2 Comments

Yesterday we saw something in the sky that we hadn’t seen for a while!

It was big, it was bright, it was shining and it was lovely……The Sun!

The big yellow thing in the sky mad an appearance and we made the most of it by taking a trip to our local park to feed the ducks. The sky was blue and the winds had calmed right down, it really was a very pleasant day.

Jak, the eldest, was out in the morning with his Dad taking part in his first cross country 5 mile race, so our trip to the park was quite later in the day but the sun was still shining. We normally visit this park to play in the outdoor gym and parkour area but instead we took a walk around the lake to feed the ducks.

Oliver loves throwing in pieces of bread to the birds, he squeals with delight when a duck swims over to eat his bread.

After feeding the bread we walked around the park and found a huge tree trunk that had been pulled up out of the ground.

The boys quickly began exploring the trunk, climbing over it and walking along it.

And obviously I took the opportunity to take some shots with my phone at different angles (the boys love to pose)

Our trip to the park was a lovely day out, it was just nice to be out in the fresh air with no wind and rain about.

Day 7 Where was I Today? #FMSphotoaday #365

Published on by mumof3musketeersLeave a comment

This weekend has been a scorcher, yesterday we put up the pool but it takes days to fill so today we got up early and headed down to Dover.
After driving for 75 minutes we had arrived at our destination, Dover Castle!

The castle is beautiful and on weekends they have actors dressed up in characters, the views over to Dover Port were fantastic and everyone that worked there was so friendly.

Joseph met a real knight, a real King, a real Princess and real castle workers! You should have seen his face when the King arrived, my little boy got down on his knees and bowed away at him and when he told Joseph that he could fight for him as he had come prepared with a shield and a sword, I have never seen such and excited face before.

After a few hours of walking around and taking in the history of the castle we drove over to Folkestone to check out the town and to hopefully have a little splash in the sea.
