Vacation Monday: kids in order

Every two years we get the kids in order from oldest to youngest.  The parents then snap a whole bunch of pictures, hoping to get a good one.

2013 (we didn't have our act together, so they weren't yet in age order):

Try 2, with happier kids:

And that brings us to this year.  I'll admit, I cracked up at these photos.  Mainly at Joshua, who is just standing there in the middle.  We had a lot of these pictures since every parent was taking them, and for a whole bunch of them Joshua just stands there.  The other kids move around, and we finally get a smile from Joshua at the end.

(This one might be my "official" photo if I had to choose one.  You can see all the faces and no one looks too weird.)

We tried again inside, but I'm not sure the results were much better:

(This has most kids smiling, so is a pretty good runner up.)

Maybe they'll eventually be old enough to organize themselves and take this picture on the first day of vacation so they can tell the parents that it's done and already in our photo stream.
