Holidays: A kid's-eye view

Before we left, I gave each of the kids a single-use camera for them to use. When the first one filled up, I got them each another.

This was done in part to give them an alternative to using my camera, which Button especially likes to do, as I don't particularly care to spend tons of money developing film with 22 out of 25 shots being of "nothing in particular"!

A good part of the time they would forget aobut them, but then - especially when there were animals to be photographed - Mustang would haul hers out, so of course Button would follow suit, and they'd go trigger-happy.

Of the supposedly 108 possible pictures (27 x 4) these ones are among the best (i.e. the ones where you can actually see something recognizable). (I'm actualy not thrilled with the quality of these cameras: a lot of the shots didn't turn out at all. But that might in part be because they kept forgetting that to use the flash you had to hold down an extra button... And in part because fingers kept getting in the way...)
