Playing with the Camera

So today after doing some work for my parents at Camperworld, I got some time to do a little playing with my camera. I still think I have a ton of work to do to get good. I still really struggle with all the manual settings, but at least I'm learning and today I did nothing on auto. My kids were very dirty from playing outside and not so thrilled with having to pose for the camera, but they were all good sports. I think, I still got some fun shots. The other thing I was doing, was trying to find some different scenery for back drops. I feel I'm pretty creative in some areas, but I am really pulling blanks when it comes to photography creativity. Well Audrey, you're going to have to tell me if you like any of the backgrounds?
