family pictures

Family pictures are always a fun experience with our family. Dispite our best efforts there is always something fun and laughable about how things end up. We end up with fond memories and some pretty funny pictures though. we had the camera on a tripod and then we'd put it on a timer and try to get all the little kids to smile at that blinking light. Not so successful.

This is just the time for camera troubles I guess because half the time the tripods little adjustable neck that was holding the camera up would slide down right before it snapped the picture so everyone in the back would have their heads chopped off.

Because of all the squirmy kids everyone was bouncing around trying to keep them from screaming so our careful positioning to be in the picture and see every ones face wasn't always so successful either.

So by the time patience ran out and kids were done we had a handful of pictures and well, I might have to do some photo reconstruction. :)

Here's one of the better ones. (Yes my son is sucking on a rock.)
