what {going to the library} looks like

I am trying more and more to capture things we do outside of the home.
Which means taking my camera with me everywhere (which I normally do.)
The problem isn't taking it it is pulling it out in public!
I am not big on that. 
Family functions...no problem
the park...not so bad
anywhere else...eeek

I should just start wearing it around my neck everywhere like an accessory.
I just had to google how to spell that.
Totally blank brain moment.
Anyhoo.....
Eventually I would be so used to it being there I would feel weird not having it there.

There is a group of photographers that I follow on blogger that once a month post about everyday, routine life
such as......
shopping at Target
walking to the mailbox
last days of summer
ect.....

I love this idea and wanted to borrow it from them to use here.

They call it What ________ looks like
Each month fill in the blank with whatever I desire
The goal is to capture the kids/ family as they are.
Unposed and doing what we do as a family in the day to day.

So when Jordan and I ended up at the library the other night I pulled out my camera.
At first I was very shy about it.
If someone walked close to us or by I would  quick hide it in my purse.
After a little bit I just didn't care and snapped away.
I am so glad I did!

This is what a trip to the library looks like.








































I also brought my camera along yesterday to story time the library has.
It was Dr. Seuss's Birthday so the cat from cat in the hat was there.





 

 
Simple as that

    You are so right, we never think of documenting, say a trip to the grocery store or to the library - and yet, 10 years from now I'm sure it would be so much fun to look at those! What a nice idea.

    I also love how you label your posts, I never thought of adding a label that says "5 years old". I think that's fantastic, such a great way of being able to look back at a certain age!

    Stopping by from the simple things.

    Have a great weekend!
