Why? Why do I wait until the end of the trip, every year, to take our annual pictures on spring break? Because I like a challenge? Because I’m lazy? Yes and yes.
The challenge is that the kids are often tired and cranky because they’ve had a LOT of fun in the pool and their sensitive skin is often a wreck at this point. (We have never been able to figure out if they are allergic to the pool water or the sun screen but both my kids and my sister’s kids are usually peeling and cracking by the end of the week. So far we have found no solution for this despite a lot of trying!)
Joelle’s boys are often resistant to this picture taking tradition and since I didn’t want to push any buttons the girls and I snuck off to the golf course just as magic light was starting. When the boys realized we were gone they said ‘Hey! What about us?!? We want OUR pictures taken too!’
Next thing I knew these two cuties were fully dressed (gotta love that Henry is fully buttoned up) and ready for their close ups. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth we popped them right into the pictures.
I love that even though these five have quite the age range (Jill is 10.5 years older than Henry) they all love each other and have a great time together!
Here are my favorites from our impromptu photo session…
