This is the kind of picture you get from a 14 year old that you make the photographer at an event he isn't thrilled about attending. LOL After church yesterday we went to a playland/farm type place for an adoption picnic hosted by the agency that did our homestudies for both KC and Elisabeth. They are an amazing agency and I know from personal experience that they are very supportive and truly counsel birth moms who contact them. (this is not in relation to my last two adoptions but to the experience that a family member had who had contacted them with an unplanned pregnancy.)
At any rate, we go every year, but going this year meant missing a couple quarters of football. Rob is all about football. I made him the photographer as he also usually loves that task and it gave me both hands to help the littles on the play equipment. So of course, I figured he was taking cute shots of the kids on the neat climbing apparatus, or digging for the "dinosaur" bones or pretending to milk the cow statue.
Nope, got pics of ducks and deer and other wildlife. Gotta love teen revenge! It was fun though despite that glitch and I love seeing D and R who helped us through the choppy waters of the interstate compact in our adoption process. They are truly both kind and amazing people. And we were home before 1/2 time so Rob still got to see his Patriots!
Last night was also Rob's first youth group experience. Technically last year he was old enough but I felt he wasn't mature enough to handle it and would feel intimidated by the older teens there. Our church has a really amazing youth group and kids hang in all through high school and often come back to visit from college. But this year, at 14 I thought he needed to stretch a little so he gave it a go, and thus far, it's all good!
