This morning was family photo day. It will be interesting to see the outcome. Sixteen children, 13 adults (well, my youngest SIL is the single, childless aunt everyone likes to play with, and all the kids insist she's a kid, not an adult). We walked up the hill behind the house and did a big group picture, then one of my inlaws and their kids, and then all the adults. The kids were kind of losing it so we went back to the house to take one of just the kids. I am fairly confident that if you put your ear to the page you will be able to hear the kids still screaming.

In the meantime between standing around and waiting their turn, my nephews caught this:



Yes, it really is as big as it looks (3").

I guess it's better than the rattler they found on the doorstep one morning. (Its skin now resides staked to a board to show off to unsuspecting visitors.)
