Pictures with Cousins

For the first time in a few years we were able to get all 17 of my parents grand kids together for pictures.  This time instead of going to some overpriced photo studio, my mom asked Mike to take the pictures.  He said yes, and here are the results.

All the kids (love the reflection in the pond)

Another of all the kids.

Just the boys

and just the girls

Then great grandma popped by and we put her in one with 17 of her numerous great grandchildren.

The reason these pictures were done in black and white or sepia was the kids did not wear matching clothes... here is a sample of the color picture!  Not too bad... but not what mom was looking for!

My mom was super happy with the pictures and it was a lot cheaper to get the sizes she wanted than it would have been at a studio!  She will soon have a 16 x 20 at home and at the office, as well as some other ones!

Bravo to Mike for taking such great pictures!  It is not easy trying to get 17 kids to all look at you, especially across a pond!
