Love the last one - great composition.

#2 I'd lighten the faces a bit as they are the focal point.

Not my cup of tea, photographically, but I love it.
Reminds me, probably many of us, where we came from.
Well done.

Norbert, it is funny how kids are, we took our children to many events, carnivals and visits with family and the main thing they remember is our camping trips together. Thanks for commenting all the way from Germany. Bob

if you look at the first photo, the parents had 6 children and were camped a couple of spaces form us. It was so wonderful to see them play and be a real family. This is special for us, as we travel full time and see mostly people with grey hair, just like us, and we share other peoples children until we can be with ours. Thanks for commenting, Bob

Kevin, that is my favorite also, the boy was so patient helping his sister remove the weeds from her line and baiting the hook.
In photo #4, it is hard to tell, but the little boy is skipping rocks right next to the fishermen. Glad you liked them, thanks Bob

Dave, you are right, it seems some times kids don't even go outside to play anymore. We always enjoy the parks where the children and families camp, but once summer is over, it is just the retired. thanks for looking. Bob
