Hill Country Blue Bonnet Family Photo Shoot (gone awry)

We just returned from a lovely few days at David's parent's ranch in the hill country outside of Austin. The whole family was there: two grandparents, three siblings, two daughters-in-law, three grandchildren, and two dogs. It's a popular time of year to visit because of the blooming bluebonnets aplenty. What a perfect opportunity for a family portrait, one might think.

Think again.

Our Family Shots




 Grandkid Shots


 Sam's trying hard to smile through his tears
The girls are making no effort whatsoever


 Scarlett's just screaming


and Clara's starting with her famous pre-cry lip-curl


 slipping...


 sliding...


and...we're done here. 



good news is the bluebonnets themselves were beautiful


























and hopefully we got at least one semi-decent whole family shot



























Happy Spring from our family to yours!
