Our Marvelous Monday!

July 22, 2009 rrnorton

This past Monday, my mother and I took my children to Shipshewana, Indiana.  Although we had hoped it would be a Flea Market day, it wasn’t.  Flea Market Days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week.  That was a bummer.

No matter, as there is a really nice resort with indoor waterpark in Shipshewana.  So we ventured northwest, we live in Fort Wayne, and took the kids to a great lunch, had a very nice carriage ride around town, then spent the afternoon and evening with the kids at the waterpark.  I got some really great pictures of the days events.  And, I found myself trying to apply the rule of thirds while TAKING the pictures rather than while editing the pictures.  I’ve posted a few here, tell me what you think. 

We arrived in Shipshewana just in time for lunch.  There’s a really nice restaurant, the Blue Gate Restuarant, on the main road through town.  It’s a HUGE restaurant with multiple dining rooms.  And the food was really good.  The above picture was taken out in front of the restaurant right after lunch.

The above picture is one of the landscaping and pond located in front of the restaurant.  I was trying my hand at taking new and different photos.  How’s it look?

Getting ready for our carriage ride.  That’s my son sitting in the carriage.  We had to have the white carriage as it looks like a princess carriage.

This is my son, waiting for the carriage ride. 

My daughter, waiting for the carriage ride to start.  See why we had to have the white carriage?  Someone’s got her convinced she’s a princess.
