The Peterson Adventures

April 2020 Quarantine

Are we having fun yet?! While most of us are probably looking forward to the end of the “Shelter in Place” orders, I wanted to share just some fun moments we had with our children at home! One of my goals this year is to utilize my very first DSLR camera and just snap images of my family doing fun things around the house. I put this old camera on the bookcase so it’s easy to grab and it’s always ready to shoot! These images may not be “perfect”, but they’re so special to me! And the kids have really enjoyed these times together! When I grabbed the camera, I found that they’d get excited and say “mom, come take a picture of me doing x, y, & z!” And Emily even (with permission of course) grabbed the camera and tried her hand at capturing some images too. (Perfect way to start training them with the camera now!!! Haha!)

One of the things they really enjoyed doing was baking snickerdoodles and chocolate crinkles with Daddy! They started the batter early on a Saturday morning and by mid-afternoon, the house was smelling so amazing! My kiddos sure know how to bake! And they didn’t get that from me… Haha! My sister can bake, but I just never really caught on to that skill. I can do it, but I just don’t enjoy it as much as they all do! I enjoy eating what they make though, that’s for sure!

The other thing these kids LOVE to do is jump on the trampoline and play on the swing set! They’re practicing their handstands too on the trampoline. They’re doing pretty good at it! I am super thankful though that we so far have not had any major injuries…cause my kids tend to be a little on the crazy side! They love to climb all over that swing set, which just makes me so nervous! But boy do they have fun! :)

Matt has really enjoyed playing with the new drone we purchased! You’ll see a few images below of him practicing his flying. That thing is really neat and we’re excited to utilize it in some “Behind the Scenes” videos of upcoming shoots and also use it for Real Estate shoots as well. It has been something he’s wanted to get for a long time.

Well, I hope to share more of our adventures in the future, especially when things open back up and we’re able to get out and about more. Hope you all are staying well and healthy!

Love, Jen
