Saturday's Photo Scavenger Hunt - Growth
Posted in Photo Hunt
I began taking these pictures at the Harrisburg Covered Bridge in Sevierville, TN when my youngest turned a year old. Now we return each year to take the same pose. You can see how much the kids have grown.

Beautiful photos. Love it! I got goosebumps and teary-eyes looking at them. Few photos have the ability to do that. You deserve to be the Site of the Week! :)

I think that's a great idea to do that picture every year...your children will definitely love having that memory later (and you and your husband, of course.)
Thanks for sharing!

I am only now going back to look at old Photo Hunt "winners." This is such a fantastic tradition! It would be so lovely to see these three framed together.
