So, since we had everything hauled out and set up, we decided to try to take some family portraits. Of course, we knew that it
would be in the evening and that Audrey would be breaking down, so we invited her little friend Max over with his parents to
try to get Audrey to smile. It didn't really work. It was late for Audrey, and she has a really hard time doing what we tell her to
do sometimes (especially when it involves sitting on laps to get her picture taken!). The shot below was the best one out of
the bunch. Even then, I had to do the photoshop of my life and snatch her face off of another picture so that she could look
like she was halfway smiling! (If you're curious, this is the original.) I think I did a pretty good photoshop job, though, all
things considered. We did, however, get a nice shot of Chester with Daddy and a very lovely portrait of Chester with
Mommy. Finally, though, I wanted to include one of the outtakes. This is where Audrey doesn't want to be in the picture
anymore, Chester is trying to get her to stay, I'm realizing what Chester is doing, and Laura is giving a look like, "Yup, it's my
crazy family, but I love 'em!"
