Reflections Winner

Before

After (Kolt did all the photo editing himself) Kolt wanted to enter the reflections contest at school this year.He won the photography catagory at Pioneer Elementary and got to move on to the next round which was the Fremont council round where he won award of merit. He did it all by himself and did such a great job! The theme this year was "Together we can" He decided to take a picture of one of our horses. It was so funny to watch him out back trying to get a good picture, we have a really "friendly" horse out back and every time Kolt was just about ready to snap the picture Hamer would nudge him and make the picture go all blurry. When he came back inside he was so upset because it took him forever to get just one decent picture. When he showed us all the pictures we busted up laughing because they were indeed all blurry and some even had a great big nose (hamer's nose in fact) right in the middle of the picture. He also had to write a little paragraph as to why he chose this particular picture. His little theme was " Together we can reach more places and create more memories" He told them how he has a tradition with his dad, brother and sometimes grandpa, where they pack back in on horseback and sleep over for a few nights every summer. They have done this the past 3 years and have had a ball. The fishing is just phenomenal in the back country and I am sure they enjoy not having to have manners and get all cleaned up like when mom goes camping! I think it is so important to create these special times with your parents. I lost my mom at a really young age and would do anything to have her back and healthy. I think sometimes we get so busy in life that we forget about the most important things like the life long memories we can create!
