I went on a bear hunt. With three of the cutest, happiest, most fun loving little boys you will ever meet. Collin has been photographing Sweet Isaac since he was a teeny baby. And now he’s a THREE year old. And he’s in pre-school. It seriously blows my mind how fast kids grow up. Isaac will be coming in for a Boys Will be Boys session on the 16th with Collin (by the way, if you want a Boys Will be Boys session, CALL SOON! They are filling up FAST!) but his mom asked me if I would come along on a playdate and document his relationship with his best buddies. I LOVED this idea! Some of my very favorite photos that I have taken of my kids are of them with their friends and cousins. Those relationships are so important and special…I love that Ashley wanted this documented!<\/p>\n

This was the look on Isaac’s face when he saw his friends arrive at the park…LOVE it!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love these faces! I think they were pretty happy to be having a Saturday morning playdate. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Isaac and James quickly joined John Roland over at the swings.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was about this time that we noticed tracks in the sand. BEAR TRACKS, Isaac was convinced. So we did the only logical thing…we went on a bear hunt. I LOVE LOVE LOVE a little boy’s imagination!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Off we tromped through the wild, untamable forest. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First we discovered what was surely bear food on top of a stump…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then the fearless John Rolland explored the tree that the bear more than likely lived in…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then they heard a suspicious sound…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And were once again off to explore!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We saw the places where the bear more than likely gets his water, where he sleeps in a tree, and a log that he probably knocked down. But doggone if we never found the actual bear. I can promise you it was NOT for lack of trying, though!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally we decided that the bear thing just wasn’t going to happen today so we hiked back to the playground for a little refreshment before digging in the sand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love the dirt smeared, happy smile of a boy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And their dirty feet, too! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, we wrapped things up with Bubbles!!! I ADORE their reactions!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Isaac, James and John Roland…I had SUCH a great time yesterday! You are three FUN little boys and I so enjoyed our time together!<\/p>\n
