A Few Pictures...

After the cherry orchards we all headed over to the park to snap a few family pictures. I was the only one that was smart and decided to where my family picture outfit the entire day, so it was quite lovely taking pictures after getting all gross and sweaty at the cherry orchards.
It also so happens that I am the worst person when it comes to taking group photos. My unphotogenic ways always leave me blinking, looking the wrong way, or making various other expressions that ruin pictures that everyone else look marvelous in. It is a true gift/curse I guess. In this picture I was much more intrigued with a little family trying to walk around our photo and get across the little stream without using the bridge we had commandeered; apparently Bailey, Hazel, and Will also found them interesting. 
Just our little family of four...
And then we jumped over to the lawn so that Grandpa Braden could get a shot with all 6 of his grandchildren. How many adults does it take to prep for this picture? 
 And more importantly, how many adults does it take to act like fools and get everyone to look and smile? I'm not sure because we obviously did not have enough. Who would have guessed that Bailey would be able to scream so loud while keeping that jelly bean in her mouth?
 For any aspiring models out there...Sam is taking on a few new lucky clients. He has got the cowboy thing down pat...
 And don't even get him started on the Hawaiian theme...
In our house the girls way outnumber our one and only Sam, but when you add in the rest of the Braden clan the boys definitely have the numbers, so the girls have to stick together...
A special thank you to our photographer/babysitter/friend Cameron (especially since Hazel gets her nails cut once in a blue moon and that little pointer finger feels like a little dagger). 

 Quite a successful photo shoot for a quick hour of chaotic work. Good work guys!
