From my Dads Archive Hoxton Hall, London
In my ongoing mission to archive my Dads photography I'm now working on his medium format film.
We normally wait until Thanksgiving weekend to get our tree but we've really been anticipating Christmas this year so we went by The Barn Nursery after everyone napped and got one (actually two).
I can't WAIT for them to get crazy about Christmas. I used to lay in my bed and sing Christmas carols until I was absolutley exhausted. I got up super early too. I loved watching all the commercials that would pop up around Christmas time too. We'd get the Sears and Service Merchandise catalogs and I'd look through them for all the great stuff.
Anyway, right away Will spotted some sprinklers about two miles away so he began to run like a horse to them. His shoes - although hard for us to put on even though he helps - take about two seconds for him to get off. We lost one at the end and thinking back I'm not even sure we went back to get it. I tantalized him with a pack of Smarties but the pack Laura handed him wasn't open so he threw it on the ground and began to run for the sprinklers again. We were able to entice him over to the trees eventually.
We carted Lorelai around like a mental patient but she looked absolutley adorable in her over-sized pink hat and all tucked in like she was. She made no sound what-so-ever and was the sweet baby she always is. I just kept taking pictures of her and saying "Oh my gosh! Look how cute she is!" Laura found two trees she liked and the guys were nice enough to throw it up on the car for us. Lorelai ended up with a stinky diaper and we were somehow diaperless so home we went.

This was an experiment. I can't decide if I love or hate this photo. Clearly it has built-in exposure issues that would challenge even a full featured camera. It may have been just a tad too much for the humble Hawkeye.
A matching ballcap is smart style. Samlor driver in the city.
