Virginia Trip 2012 - Day 3: The Non-Fun With the Fun

The scriptures teach us about "Opposition in all things," and that we can't understand good unless we know bad.  That's why family picture day makes the rest of the trip seem so great. We suffer through a stress filled morning and then really enjoy the rest of the day. The highlight was when Mae got caught in the fly trap.  It was the sticky papered kind and well let's just say we had to pull Mae out of her sock to get her untrapped.  So if you're wondering, that's why she's pictured dancing in only one sock. -T

Look how excited Anna is for family pictures

Saving smiles for later?

Sisters

Love these moments

I think Anna might be mocking my 7th grade picture

Cousin Kylie and Anna

As evident in this picture...picture day is stress day

The Schlenskers 2012

Mom warmin' up the horse for Mae

She didn't want to go but we threw her on anyway

She warmed up to it

Uncle Scott even got her to pet the horse

But she liked his hat more

And she liked watching from a distance even better

A girl, a ball, and a dream

She might need better shoes for playing eventually

Daddy still has hops!

Family Dance Night?

Now THIS is more Mae's thing...even having to dance with only one sock

She just let her hair down and jumped right in to this activity

It was more than just the kids getting into it

The parents did as well

"Dude, can you believe our moms?  This dancing game used to be cool up until that last picture."
