Candid is Our Middle Name

This week at I Heart Faces the theme is Candid...

I looked up the meaning in the dictionary, just for kicks: frank, outspoken, open and sincere, free from reservation, informal, unposed, the Barron family (esp. Merrick Wilder). Did they pick this theme for Merrick? :) All of my photos of my kids have to be candid. Because they won't sit still long enough to pose if I beg...which I have. :)

So we took Merrick to his first official playground trip yesterday after church, and I dragged along my extra appendage camera. It was a great trip, even with the classic *don't make me leave* tantrum at the end. ;)
But, in my opinion, candid is the best way to do it. :)

I used to teach the kids I babysat to stick their tongues out in photos. I love it! (The only problem was that he started doing it in all their family photos too!! haha).

Great shot!
