Here’s my entry for the Summer Fun Photo Contest at 5 Minutes for Mom. This is Emily keeping cool at Tulsa’s Riverwalk.
Thanks, Kristi, for the heads-up!
EDIT: Thanks, everyone, for your kind words! I wasn’t a finalist, but with around 400 fabulous entries, I’m not surprised. Please check out the finalists and vote for your favorite. What a bunch of wonderful photographers and beautiful babies!

So, uh, how cute is our daughter? :)

Um, pretty stinkin’ cute.
Angela- Thanks for the love! This was the epitome of summer fun for Emily this year. In fact, she was having so much fun that she cried in tragic anguish all the way to the car.

Love the shot. Just wish I could see the look on her face at the time. Do you have one showing her exrpession?

I actually have video footage, which has about as much zeal as you can imagine… I’ll have Evan upload it to youtube, and then I’ll post about it. But, yes, I do have more pictures. I’ll see what I can find… :)

Tragic anguish? That about sums it up perfectly. Taking her away from the fountain was akin to experiencing a nuclear holocaust, as far as she was concerned.

Great photo! Did you make your daughter’s dress? If so, did you use a pattern? I’d love to know which one. I just started sewing and have been looking for a toddler dress pattern like that.

Oh this is a great photo! I want to run right behind her to play too!
