Camera fun

I read an article in this month's parents about taking quality pictures of your kids. So I decided to get my "non-professional" camera out and play around with some of the settings. Probably because I'm always so jealous of those highly talented people who have knack for always getting the perfect shot. A couple of these aren't bad, but they're pretty grainy.
