I need to figure out a way to give out merit badges.  Lisa and her kids were dressed beautifully, and here I made them hike out to one of my favorite spots...a secret little ravine in Paso Robles.  They deserve a hip-hip-hooray! But, like I promised...it would be worth the little trek. This place makes for some scrumptious backgrounds and lighting! I got pangs of jealousy seeing how well her kids got along with each other. I NEVER would've even come with 10 feet of my brother at Allie's age, unless it was to punch him. I certainly wouldn't have stood next to him for a photo without significant threat or coercion for my parents. (and, for the record, i LOVE my brother now...and i regret not standing next to him for more photos)

Lisa, thanks for letting me meet your wonderful family! Such a treat!! Hope you enjoy the pictures. =)
