Here is my daughter Izzy, making clear she is enjoying the final few days of summer. As you can see, she was sitting in a tree at the time, the space on the branch seemingly custom made for her.
The picture was taken on a campsite when I fulfilled a long-standing promise to take my girls camping. This is something we have done in the past as a family, but only in a motorhome. This time, however, we stayed in a tent (a blog post about our adventure is coming very soon).
There was a small wooded area on the campsite. For some reason, all the children were attracted to play in it, including Helen and Izzy. My two wanted to have a go at climbing the trees and so I gave them a helping hand.
I didn’t have my camera with me and so this is a quick snap taken on my phone. Even so, I love the resulting image. I am happy to admit the picture would be worthless without that expression on Izzy’s face.
Oh, yes, I am aware her shoes are on the wrong feet. It was the summer holidays and standards slip, right?

Love the excitement on her face. Super pic. Glad you all had fun. #MySundayPhoto
It is a great expression on her face isn’t it? We had loads of fun.
What a great expression! I think it’s safe to say from this photo that she enjoyed her camping trip!
She did indeed and tree climbing was a highlight.

She was very excited. We had a great time and as you can see, tree climbing proved popular.
Such excitement on her face. A lovely activity for her to do and remember.
I’m all for outdoor activities. Yes, I’m hoping she remembers this for along time in the future.
Heh, Kara is forever putting her shoes on the wrong feet too. A great shot, John – the expression on Izzy’s face is just perfect. 🙂
Shoes, feet, at least she got them on her feet! The expression is priceless isn’t it?
Hi! Her expression looks very interesting. She is very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, it was quite an expression she was pulling off wasn’t it? Delighted to share with you.
It looks like she is having such a great time – no fear there at all!
One thing my youngest doesn’t do is fear. It sometimes makes life very interesting.
She looks so happy and excited. I hope it was a good trip
Thank you for linking up
It was well worthwhile Darren. Both girls wanted the tent experience.
Aww! This really made me smile….What a fantastic expression! She looks so happy 😀 x
It is a brilliant expression isn’t it? I think both girls were over the moon to spend a night in a campsite.
Love it! Kids and trees aye? I’m sure I was exactly the same….although don’t remember doing it. #MySundayPhoto
I can certainly tell you I was the same. I noted your boys having fun in a tree!
What a great pose that is! Great kid and a great fun activity
Thanks Fiona. I’m biased, but she is a great kid. I too, think it is a great activity.
