These have to be my favourite photos from the Lent for Liam function at Cool Runnings earlier today. In fact, I’d go as far as to say, they’re my favourite photos in a very long time. I think it’s because it shows the kids not worrying about my camera and having so much fun learning a new skill.
Yes, before you say it in the comments, it was a bar. It was actually the first time my boys had been in one, and they found it fascinating… especially when the band was doing a sound check for the party later in the evening
LOL they were walking around with their fingers in their ears because of the noise.
They had been watching a couple playing pool at a table, and decided to try it themselves. In fact, watching them watch the couple was funny too. Before the kids arrived they’d been snogging nicely in the corner and quietly playing a bit of pool… then the kids arrived and kept asking them questions about what they were doing
LOL they didn’t kiss and cuddle much after that… wonder why?!







I loved that the other patrons were quite happy to let them play, and in fact, a group of guys waited for the other table to finish up rather than forcing their hand with the kids. Or maybe they just knew better, and knew that the bar would be quieter and saner that way!
These are without a doubt, my Weekly Winners this week.
These are AWESOME!!!!
what a hoot – those kids are so into that game.
fabulous pics – i hope you get them published – it looks like a really creative brief for a kids clothing store.
you are frightfully clever !
These are stunning Jeanette
Stunning pics, you really captured THE MOMENT !!
Beautiful photos – so atmospheric
WOW generally the bars don’t let kids play on their pool tables. These are lovely pictures.
All of those shots are just beautiful!
But I have to say, there is just something about kids and pool tables. I love watching kids play pool, there is nothing more fun than that!
Oh wow !! These are amazing photos! I can imagine Connor getting a little frustrated though, being shorter! Bradley and Cameron’s faces of concentration are brilliant! I am surprised they allowed them to play though
The boys looked like they were taking their pool playing very seriously! Great shots, I love the lighting.
Absolutely great shots, Jeannette! They look like little “profi’s” and I loved your little story behind
..and again, your little boy is adorable how he wants to play also, highly concentrated and with the help of his big brother! It’s just perfect!
