Flyin' Lion...

I met Hayden and his (entire) family in the park today for a session intended to get that one photo for Christmas cards.

Sound familiar?

Thankfully, wrangling one two year old is a heckuva lot easier than three kids, and we have some fun images to show his parents, grandparents, and uncle.

But for me...these are my favorites:

This poor lion was thrown all over the place this morning. He almost ended up in the creek (good ol' Dad clambered down to rescue him), and managed to catch some major air during our shenanigans. (you gotta take one for the team, Mr. Lion!)

What happens to a two year old who is *done*?

One last (slightly desperate) attempt to get just one. more. shot.

Who us? Torture?

I'm sure Hayden is going to be *so* excited when he hears we're meeting again in the spring for more pictures!

The lion? Probably not so much...
