What's summer without an adventure or two?!?

The Set-up

For this session, we went into the back wooded area of my horse pasture. I had a boombox with some Peyton Parrish Viking music playing. I had the boys all in white t-shirts so the paint would really pop, and I had ordered a giant tub of non-toxic finger paint off of Amazon.

For the individual brother sessions, I had the paint piled up on small artist palettes that I purchased from the Dollar Store. The thought here was that they would get their fingers into a different color each and smear rainbows of colors onto their brother, but what really happened was they took whole handfuls of ALL of the paint and it turned into a brown goopy mess. Eventually they took to swiping the whole palette onto the other person, which is when I knew they were out of paint and called time.

For the group part, I had one of the dads (thanks for the assist, Dusty Rhoads) run around in the background with a red smoke bomb to add a cool and hazy vibe and I just gave the boys each one handful of the leftover paint. Soooo much fun. I would say this last part was their favorite!

I did caution the boys to leave eyes and mouths out of it, but Boys will be Boys and according to Briar, the paint tastes terrible!
