ENERGY IN PICTURES

,

 

 The great-grands defining energy!

(Last time I did pictures of the boys, a few of you thought they were my grandsons.  That's flattering, but I'm glad it isn't true.  I don't think we have the strength any more.  It's our daughter and son-in-law's turn to be hands on grandparents now! )

I was trying to learn to use the sports action setting on my camera.  Got a little bit of an eye-roll when I suggested the swing (swings are for little kids you know)  … but it made for great camera practice.

 Playground equipment has gotten more exciting, yet at the same time safer, over the past four generations!

    I agree play equipment is much more fun than in our days at the park. Your great grandsons are bigger than my grandsons but my daughter was 36 and 38 when she had them. Better late than never. You did well with the sport setting.

    I’m finding out what you said is true, Sally, as I babysit our two and a half year old grand daughter almost every day. It is fun but exhausting! Your great grandsons look full of energy!

    What good looking young men – and, in spite of being too old to swing, they look like they were having some fun, while you were getting some good “camera practice” in. I’ll have to remember that, Sallie.

    Wow – great-grandchildren. It will be a while for us!

    Been a while since I spent any time near swings…Looks like a fun spot to hang out!

    Well, our Jack would have jumped from the high up swing just to make it a little more exciting and dangerous! Really, if Sam had come along any later (he’s 3 now), I don’t know how we would have done it! He was always a big boy, and Bob has to do most of the heavy lifting. We get pretty tired when we have them for a few days! Snow due here overnight!

    Sometimes the younger ones need to take over Sallie. Lovely kids.

    Great shots Sallie! Time flies! The older I get the more I think of the past!
    Enjoy your being with the family.

    I haven’t got any grandchildren….yet but I sometimes wish my 3 were little again, the years go by too fast.

  16. Aimee

    Makes me wish I had the energy of the young ones:):)
    Blessings, Aimee

    Boundless energy and joy!

    Good to see these kids playing and having good time.

  19. Yogi

    Nice seeing energetic active kids on a playground.
    I’ll say playgrounds are safer. Lots safer.

  20. Felicia

    great action shots.

  21. Rose

    Wouldn’t you love to have some of their energy?

  22. Pete

    great shots

    Boys have too much energy to burn.

    so fun to watch them play…i always wish i had their energy!!!!

  25. Lowell

    I think your great-grandkids are a wee bit older than ours…but not by much! I’m with you – it’s wonderful our kids are now grandparents. I couldn’t do it again!

    I like these action shots … not easy to photograph moving targets. I have noticed some creative playground equipment in my neck-of-the-woods too. What a perfect world when things can become unique, interesting and more diverse … yet at the same time safer.

    That’s so cute! I agree, not strength. My newest client in 92!

    boys being boys!

    Hi Sallie, your great-grandson’s are handsome young men! It is fun to be able to go out and have fun with them now. I assume they live close by? Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!

    Delightful captures for the day!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!! Hope you have a great new week!!

  32. Mick

    Great photos and so much energy! I am rather glad I don’t have to keep up! – even though it looks like a lot of fun.

  33. jesh stg

    It must be great to see your great-grands grow up! Is it different from being a grand parent? Am curious in case it happens to me. Awesome pics:)
