I don't have enough pictures of the Davies clan. So on a rare holiday together last year to celebrate my Dad's retirement, we set one up.

But it was hot, I was in a rush and I didn't pay attention to detail as I usually would.

The boys wanted to be in the pool, the baby wanted to be out of the sun, everyone else wanted a cold beer. I forced them all to grab a child and STAND STILL just for a minute.

Ready? Set the timer, run to camera, press button, run back into position. Done.



My perfect family photo isn't quite so perfect because:

• It's mainly floor
• I was wearing my skirt hitched up to my neck as a dress
• None of us have the right child
• The baby can't see
• One boy has a pair of shorts on his head
• My poor boy has nothing on his bottom (modesty protected with yellow paint *ahem*)
• My brother appears to be busking

On the plus side, we're all in it, we're all smiling and it was a bloody good holiday. And this photo really makes me laugh.
