If you give a kid a camera . . .

. . . they will have lots of fun and might even take some really good photos!

A couple of days ago Abby and Ellie were needing something new to do so I sent them outside with my camera and told them to take some pictures of each other and their little sisters. My little digital camera is basically on its last legs anyway so I figured they couldn't do it any harm -- and if they did, oh well, I would have an excuse to get a new camera!

They came back inside about an hour later asking what the big red words were on the camera screen. Did they break it? NO -- they completely filled up the memory card! So we downloaded the photos on to the computer and they were so excited to see how all their hard work turned out. It was fun to see how the girls acted with each other when Mom wasn't around. I think that they did a great job -- we just may have a couple of budding photographers on our hands.
