Classes

For the past month, Landon has been taking a Play & Learn class at Gymboree. Here are a few pics that I snapped with my iPhone.
 It's the perfect place for our little monkey to climb, run, slide, play instruments, sing songs and interact with other children.
 Here is our little guy practicing teamwork,
 playing the maracas,
 going down the slide,
 jumping,
 popping bubbles,
 more jumping,
 playing a drum,
 and just looking cute. :)
This week Landon is going to begin their music class. 
 Speaking of classes, I took a 2-day photography class. One day was a 3 hour class at a photography studio and the other day was a 2 hour field session at a park. My goal is to learn how to use my fancy camera that Mike bought me for Christmas. For the past 7 months, I have only used my camera in auto mode. Well, guess what? These two pictures are NOT in auto mode...woohoo!! I took them during our field session at the park.
 It is so exciting to finally understand (at least a little bit better) ISO, aperture and shutter speed.
 When I got home from the field session, I thought I would practice with shutter speed on our fountain in the backyard. (It might come in handy with our speedy little 2 year old!) Well, this picture is on AUTO mode...
and this picture is NOT. Compare the water in both pictures. Now, I must keep practicing what I've learned. Perhaps I will take another class in the future!!
