The group shot

We've never taken a group shot on the back porch in Corsicana. And this was a good idea in theory, but one of the first problems was, we didn't have a tripod. Forgot it. So Melanie improvised by using the back of the golf cart, and centering quickly became a problem, which was why some people barely made it in on the ends. The second and more obvious issue was the blinding sun. If only we'd taken it earlier in the afternoon, before the sun was 5 feet from the porch and scorching people's faces off. But, I love them anyway. I do love the back porch as the back drop. We just need a little fine tuning to make them a future keeper.

Let's look.

Shall we?

So much going on here, we need a close up.
All old men on the right, please look to your left. Oh wait, already did. Rosie's blinded by the light as well as she looks to be a flight risk due to Olivia's bending and holding. Becky looks grossed out, Whitney's posing...shocker and Mary still can't believe she's related to all these people. .  
Clearly Carlie's present go to is finger pistols, Lydia's been in the lemon drawer, Addy's glare off her fur is blinding. William and Bill are having a moment.
The middles are ALL acting up here. And that big squirrel followed Mollie everywhere.
Full shot.
I'm really disappointed in people's good behavior here.
And this one as well.
Jared's almost in, Texas and Maisy are completely gone.
Here's the money shot. Except for Texas' nose and Maisy not at all. And Melanie, Dale, Randy and Cammie due to their whiteness, look as if they are about to do space time continuum transport.   
And there you have it. The group photos without a hay ride trailer in sight.

We are closing in on the end people!!

I'm excited!!

Duuuuudddeeesss

I'm gone.........
