Girlfriends

I recently heard a comment that was very true. In photo albums (or photo blogs) everyone is always smiling. You always get the good side of people in your photo albums because those are the times you want to remember. No one puts the picture in the photo album of you getting your finger slammed in the door, of temper tantrums, meltdowns, or the family trip that everyone would rather forget. Instead, you get all the happy images...not that there's anything wrong with that, but it just doesn't fully represent real life. So in tribute to that thought, here are the happy images from our cousin outing today. Doesn't it look like everyone is happy, non-whining, and not sweating their hiney off in the 90+ degree heat?
To keep things real, here is the picture taken less than a minute before the previous two when Shen and I asked them to get their picture taken together. Now, this is one for the family photo album!!
