Thanksgiving weekend

Hello!

This weekend was long. A long weekend. Simon was doing a first aid course all day Saturday and Sunday so I was home alone again. On Sunday I made a turkey dinner for about 6 people.. but there were only the 2 of us here to eat it (don't worry, we didn't even invite anyone else over, I just made lots of food!)

On Monday we went to do a maternity photo shoot while I still have a large belly and while it is still nice out. Fall hasn't really hit here yet. I think it's rained maybe 4 days all of September and October so far. There's been so little rain "they" are concerned about the water levels in the river being too low. Anyways we took advantage of the 23 degree weather and headed up to Gatineau Park to take pictures. We also took a picnic of leftover turkey made into wraps. We took somewhere around 130 pictures... so I made some collages to share with you. Sorry there's a lot of them that I like! 



 

These were done at Rideau Hall.  


 These are some of my absolute favourite.


 Here are some "out-takes".

Simon thought this would be artistic...
Simon set the timer then as he walked into 
the picture hit the camera and it had to be reset..This is how he ended up in the picture..

I didn't know he was taking continuous shots of me throwing leaves.






I said we should sit facing each other and smooch, but didn't account for the fact that I can't lean in cause of my belly!

We had fun taking pictures, but were pooped by the end of the day. Good thing we had lots of leftovers to come home to! 
Simon's a pretty good photographer hey?

  1. He's a great photographer. I especially like the last photo where you are both laughing so hard.

    I'm sure you were missed at your parents' Thanksgiving table. I know we missed Ashley and Owen. Did you know that they have a blog chronicling their adventures in Europe?

    I also really like the photo of you playing in the leaves! The countdown begins.
