Family Vacation Photos And Photo Bloopers

To all of you moms and dads out there, I am sure you can relate with me on this one. You know how it is when taking family photos, right? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, because kids want to do their own thing. Picture taking time with the family can be chaotic and comedic at the same time, so I decided to keep some of our family photos that didn't look quite right or didn't make the cut. Therefore, I call it, the photo bloopers! Here are a few of them. 

Although my photos might not be as chaotic or comedic as the ones you have, so if you have any family photos and bloopers to share, please do so. I think it would be fun!

The cute family photo:

What really happened:
It takes time and effort to get these kids to where they should be sitting just so we could come up with a cute family photo.

What really happened:
Our little man was having an attitude and didn't want to be a part of the picture.

What really happened:
Our kids were anxious to hit the road and didn't care much for a family picture time. But being the mama me, I dragged everyone to taking photos of us before leaving the cabin and heading towards our new destination. Awe!

This one made the cut:
A herd of Elk in Mammoth Hot Springs- Yellowstone National Park

What really happened:
The kids were tired, anxious, wanted to do their own thing, and my son and I weren't getting along well. I was stressed out. LOL!

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but from now on, I am going to do a photo blooper section on my blog. For me, I think it also shows the real side of me and my family, to let you know a little bit about us. To let you know that we are not a perfect family (who is?). That we are just another normal family (or not) and we do have some ups and downs. And that behind every cute family picture of ours, there are two cranky, squirmy, unhappy kids and possibly frustrated parents. (LOL) Have a great one!

  1. I love this blooper section. It is absolutely adorable. I thought that I commented on this a few days ago but apparently I wasn't signed in to Google and my comment was deleted.

  5. LOL! What a fun post! The last one is HILARIOUS. My nephew drives me crazy when he doesn't want to take a picture "the right way" - oh the faces he makes...he knows how to really ruin a picture.

  8. That last picture literally made me LOL. How great to capture kids in their "natural" state. So much more true to their nature than the posed pics. Great job, mom!
