For my birthday we go to the Nelson Atkins Art Gallery every year. I love to see how each kid discovers something new they love about the Nelson. Along the way I try to take a few pictures to remind us of our time. I realized there seems to be an issue getting a good group photo.
Have you ever wondered how many pictures a parent has to take to get the right one?

First picture. #6 thinks he can be cute and lay to the side. #1 is fixing her hair, #2 is smiling weird, #3.5 is telling #4 and #5 to do something.
