Chera + Five!!!

I am sooo excited to share this super fun maternity session I got to do with Chera and her children Cheyenna, Logan, Aleea, Gavin, and her soon-to-be bouncing baby . . . girl or boy!!!  That is right . . . Chera has decided to be surprised by baby number five!!!  I have to be honest, I don't think I could do it . . . the suspense would drive me wild, but it is sooo incredibly fun!!!  Sooo . . . I will update you all when we find out if she has a new daughter or a new son.

We started off by taking an innocent stroll through the historic covered bridge . . . seems relaxing enough for a 9 month pregnant mom and her four children, right??

. . . and then Logan decided to chase the turkey / duck / goose (seriously, we couldn't decide what type of duck / goose this was, but it had turkey-like features) . . .

The most HILARIOUS part was that my mother was assisting me, and the large bird flew right at her!!!  Screams echoed through the bridge!!!

Such a beautiful family!!!

Who needs to throw pebbles in the river when there are boulders around!?!?

And then we got to really play . . . in PAINT!!!!  I'm not sure if I had more fun taking pictures of this or if the kids had more fun doing it!!! 

Soooo much fun!!!  And then . . . the kids climbed trees!!!  And if you remember be being shocked that squirrels can climb up brick walls . . . well, imagine how shocked I was when I found out little boys can climb up tree trunks . . . with no low branches!!!  I was so shocked, I totally missed the photo op, but here are some of Cheyenna, Aleea, & Logan climbing a 3-story high tree (also amazing to me)!!!
