Question Will you help me decide which warm weather photo?

Will you help me decide which warm weather photo to submit for the Guatemala calendar?

1. Holding a Coke bottle inside
2. Holding a Coke bottle outside
3. Going down the slide at the zoo
4. Riding the "zebra" at the zoo
5. Brushing his teeth
6. Smiling in the doorway

Thanks!

If it's for the Guatadopt calendar I'd choose the one on the Merry Go Round!!! Super cute and very colorful!

I am having a tough time deciding between the merry-go-round (because its cute, close up and colorful) and the slide (because its cute and screams summer). Good luck!

I like the slide pic for the calendar. It is a very natural picture of a child enjoying the moment. It is unique too. He is gorgeous in every picture, however.
