Wordy Wednesday: Family Reunion Issue

[brigid]

We drove 3 miles to a family reunion over the weekend.

It was incredible, absolutely amazing.

A snug little house in the country, on a river, with a fully stocked kitchen and a huge pool; a dorm room full of cousins.

I managed to remember to bring my camera, but then I didn’t use it even once. Not even once! I did take a photo with my camera of the tunnel of corn we drove down, but that’s it.

I’m not a photography person.

Some people are!

Some people blog and include photos and have fancy cameras that become extensions of themselves and realize that they love taking photographs and take classes and constantly offer to photograph other people.

Me? I’m content to let other people do that while I lounge in a pool slowly cooking my neck/back/shoulders that I somehow managed to miss with aerosol sunscreen.

Had I taken photos, though, here is a list of totally adorable and emotionally charged priceless photos I would have taken:

• My kid meeting my aunts and cousins, many for the first time
• My kid meeting my cousins’ kids, most for the first time
• My kid holding a tiny toad the size of my thumbnail
• My kid holding a slightly larger toad the size of an apricot
• My kid freaking out because an apricot-sized toad urinated on his hand
• My kid coloring with my cousins’ kids
• My kid building a dinosaur zoo complete with roof out of firewood
• My kid eating his first marshmallow
• My kid covered in chocolate
• The starry night sky
• The pool
• More photos of the pool
• Seriously this pool was pretty great
• My brother making breakfast
• My 90 year old grandmother
• The crafting event my one aunt organized for all the women to do
• My kid hugging his cousins
• My kid playing with a dog
• My kid playing in the pool
• My kid looking at the river
• Etc

Alas, I am not a camera person. I will never start my own adorable photography company and turn my photography passion into a business. I just do not give a flip about taking photos, really.

If I could turn my passion for floating around in a pool into a business, though, I totally would.
