A couple of weekends ago I posted about the odd excursion to Kansas that me, my mom, son and brother took so that mom could buy a Jeep. Also, that weekend, the whole reason I went to Tulsa in the first place was for my grandma’s 80th birthday party. She’s had some health issues the last few years and her memory is fading, but we the party went quite well. This morning I saw that I Heart Faces posted a blog about photographing large groups. It just so happened that we did a large group shot of the whole family in the game room of the little restaurant that my grandparents eat at regularly. All I can say is thank goodness I brought my entire camera bag, because we needed the wide angle lens for this group big time.
We had nearly the entire family at the even minus my husband and sister (he didn’t make the trip to hold down the fort and my sister’s car broke down at the last minute). I’m sure we were missing a few others too. But, as you can see, this bunch was a bit unruly and there’s always one or two that don’t exactly follow the group picture taking rules, as you can see:
My cousin Faith is covering up cousin Zeke’s face (in all of the pictures not just the one we eventually decided on) and cousin Dylan has his hat too low and you can’t see his eyes. There were a few in the back that probably didn’t want to be seen too well anyhow, so we do have a few lost back there. But, hey, everybody but my son is looking at the camera! I have no idea what he was looking at. Considering the conditions we had to work with and the unruly bunch, I’d say we didn’t do too bad of a job setting this group shot up. After all, it is one heck of a group. Lol.
Here’s me and my family with Nanna as well.
And then there was this random shot. I think the only reason I actually look good in this one is because of the bite of burger in my mouth. Lol.
Okay, that’s probably the first and last time you’ll ever see a picture of me on my own blog.
Oh, and I almost forgot, my mom made a slide show of pictures from throughout Nanna’s life. I’ll try to get some of those from her to share here.
