Family Pictures 2016

Our pictures were a little earlier this year because I wanted to make sure to get them before Matt left for Afghanistan in September.  I contacted EmyLee McIntyre and we settled on August 13th for the pictures.  We planned several weeks ahead which gave me plenty of time to search for coordinating clothes.  It is always tricky to figure out a balance between coordinating, but not too matchy.  Open to location, EmyLee suggested the Cibolo Nature Preserve in Boerne.  It had been a rainy week, but Saturday was supposed to be OK.  There was a downpour on the way there and we almost turned around, but when we arrived it was only a drizzle, which made for frizzy hair.  The location ended up being perfect. The tall cypress trees that line the creek give the same look as the rivers we have been exploring lately. The kids said it was the most fun they had taking pictures as a family.  We took pictures standing in the water and the kids enjoyed walking in the water with their clothes on.

After we were done taking pictures, we did some exploring.  Kylee enjoyed finding little frogs, the kids enjoyed exploring the forts, and I enjoyed sitting on the wooden bench swing with Matt.  We also walked on the boardwalk to explore the marsh.  It was fun to watch a little turtle swimming in the water.
