Patience, my dears....

I think there's a rule for some actors and professional photographers
that says...
"Never work with children or animals".
I think the phrase was coined by W.C Fields back in the day.
So when it came time to get a photo of all the cousins,(except my daughter Aja who's in Toronto),
youngest to oldest...
Well, lets just say, I can understand why...
...take 1...remove tiny spider from head of nephew...alerted by nieces.
...take two...the aunt tries to line up the youngest, who isn't the least bit interested in height restrictions...
...take three...just about there except..."can someone move that big black furry thing from in front?!"
...take four..."That looks great kids! Everybody say CHEESE!"
"Alright!! Okay, everyone take 5..relax and play around until the next shoot."

Yea, sometimes, with kids and animals, you just have to do the candid shot... which I really liked.

Great pictures!
