Haircuts and sunflowers

Just wanted to get a quick post out with pictures in the sunflowers from Shelby Farms and Trey’s FIRST HAIRCUT!  The sunflower photos were quite an ordeal.  On the way out of the house, my camera strap snagged on a door knob and jerked it out of my hands.  It crashed to the ground…lens first.  Luckily, the only thing that appears to be broken was the lens.  The camera’s in fine shape.  Also, luckily I’ve got the best insurance in the world (Thanks Larry Brooks at State Farm!) and I got a check for the broken lens within a week.  Unluckily (if that’s a word), I only valued the lens at about half of what it was worth with the insurance company…so the check won’t cover the full replacement cost.  Guess that’s my fault for not taking my time to really look up the cost of some of my equipment before taking out a policy.

So, that’s how the sunflower trip started.  On the way there, we knew we were in for a treat.  Neither Haley nor Trey had their naps that day.  Their grumpiness was in the air.  So between the unbearable heat and the grumpy kids, the pictures didn’t turn out so well.  Go figure.

Trey’s haircut went as planned.  We gave him his haircut at home rather than taking him to a barber because there really wasn’t much to cut.  Literally, two snips and we were done.
