Night of The Living Dragonfly

Last night we got together for dinner and celebrated Karri's birthday (it's on Thursday). After dinner we all went outside to play for awhile. Karri got a picture with all of the nieces & nephews. This was the first picture taken, notice how my kids don't smile and look at the camera on the first try, but Max, Conli, & Sawyer do! I don't get it! I am always having to tell Xander to actually smile, he thought that was a smile, and I'm always yelling at Mara to look at the camera! Whenever she does, she'll squint or make a face.
Oh how my frustrations grow when I pull out the camera!
The traditional Funny Face Picture.
Conli took this picture of us girls sitting on the steps! I love it!
During the summer, whenever we are outside in the evening, Pat always grabs the net to catch Dragonflies. He was successful last night, but was too rough and damaged one of the wings on this one. It wasn't able to fly away, but did get passed around a bunch, and it made the boys happy.
Brent grabbed my camera and took some cool pics of it.
This picture is really pretty! Thanks Brent!
I took this one.
The boys were in heaven but the girls were really nervous to be around it.
I took this one too!
You can see that part of his wing broke off. It was sad.
Overall it was a great night!
Now just two more days until our vacation to San Diego!! Wahoo!!
Comic Con here we come!

If you look in the earlier pictures the wing is not broken on the dragonfly, I don't know why he wouldn't fly away he looked okay. Then the wing broke later after extensive handling. I try to be like a fly fisherman and let the things I catch go.
