I love the everyday pictures…the unfolding of life.  How quickly kids grow and don’t carry around their superhero lunch boxes!

These photos were taken at the Cal State Long Beach Japanese Garden.  It was so much fun to follow around these cousins and see them take in the whole thing.

The kids come with their grandmas and each had their favorite part.  His was scooping water out of the fountain.  What a fun long-handled cup!

Then he decided to take a drink.  It’s one of those moments that I have to decide if I should act like a mom or a photographer. 🙂  I decided to act like a photographer and document the moment while everyone rushed over to say that drinking out of the fountain may not be the best idea.

Thanks for letting me tag along on your adventures through the Japanese Garden!
