Ethan has been working on his photography merit badge for scouts this week. He had to come up with a story, take at least 20 photos representing the story and then mount and present the story to his class. He decided to do his story on "a day at the park" starring Luke with a small role for Rachel. Here are some of his favorite photos that he took. 
"Hey Luke, do you want to go to the park to play?"
"I'm ready to go"
Time to go home. 
"I'm ready to go"
Let's shoot some hoop...actually Luke shot and made 2 baskets during the photo shoot.
"Tetherball - how to get hit every which way by a ball on a string -- probably my least favorite playground sport growing up.
Time to go home.
Across the bridge....
This is our backyard....huge....and even better, the playground is right behind it.
Ethan liked this shot because you can see his reflection in the windows.
And a final wave goodbye from Luke!
By the way, Ethan ended up taking over 70 photos. Thank goodness for digital cameras. I've come to find out that in order for scouts to earn enough merit badges, that community centers and city offerings are the only way to go. I have Ethan signed up for 4 more merit badges during the next couple of months. There is no way that he would earn enough if I waited for just the leaders to do it all. Plus they can't be certified in every merit badge that they need anyways. I think he did a great job and he did really like learning about photography.
