Canaltown Days in My “Yard” September 23, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Family, Parenthood, Photography, Princess Hannah , 3commentsPalmyra hosts “Cananltown Days” for all the surrounding towns.
The celebration was this last weekend.
The celebration was on Main Street.
We live on Main Street.
My children woke up and there was a party going on practically IN our house.

Dallin enjoyed his bird’s eye view of the festivities first thing in the morning.

The fife players and drummers were a highlight for Hannah.

This is basically what David does all weekend. He holds the kids as they don’t dare to let him out of their site for fear that they might not see him for a days on end.
Which, is basically the way it is.

I’d now like to interrupt this blog post by showing you this random building. I like it, but until last weekend, I’d only seen this building from the front. Why am I showing you this building? Because instead of taking pictures of really boring booths of vendors selling crafts, I turned around and shot this.
See? It kind of belongs in this post!
OK, back to the pictures that make more sense.
This next picture MELTED my heart. Do you ever wonder if your kids are listening, looking, or comprehending their experiences?
I shot this at the Canaltown Days Grand Parade. Please take a moment to notice what Hannah is doing:

That’s right friends. SHE IS TAKING A PICTURE with her imaginary camera! Check out her pose! Can you tell that I never shoot from my eye level? I’m usually lying down on the ground!
Wanna know what she was photographing?

This dude. Just like I was.
Like mother like daughter. I better watch out, she’s probably going to ask for an SLR for her fifth birthday.
