Roughly 4 months ago, right here on Wordless Wednesday, I posted our first underwater family photo.
It went something like this….
Not perfect but we loved it. It was even our Christmas card last year.
Last week, we jumped at the chance to have another one taken.
You would think though, with it being the second time around, we got the hang of it.
Um, not so much….
Β Maybe we’ll get it right by next Christmas…
Joining in Wordless Wednesday at My Little Drummer Boys. Β
Sending light, love (and hopefully) a little laughter to Trish xxx

Tracey @ Bliss Amongst Chaos says
Ha haaa!! Love it Grace!
I don’t know about imperfect, because these look pretty perfect to me!!
Never in a million years would I have thought to have an underwater family photo, and you’ve had two!
Awesome! π

Ha! Thanks, Tracey! We’re really fortunate that the pool where the boys take swimming lessons has a lady who comes over every 4 months to take photos. It’s always a lot of fun π
Penny says
What? They have a photographer at the pool now? This is awesome! I want to get an underwater family photo. It may be a little harder with five though.

Maybe when the girls are a little older ?
Yeah, our swimming pool where the boys take lessons has an underwater photographer who comes over every few months to take photos of the students and their families. It’s so much fun π
Rhianna says
What great photos! Underwater camera’s are so much fun. Sadly ours didn’t turn out to be as waterproof as it should have been though

Misha says
I have to disagree – these are absolutely perfect. What a beautiful way to capture memories of your family! Gorgeous.

Haha! Thanks, Misha! We weren’t going to buy the second photo but I think we would’ve kicked ourselves if we hadn’t π
Nami says
Underwater shots make me instinctively hold…my…breath…
How did you ask if they got the shot?

The photographer tells us what to do. She goes under first, then we count to 3 then go under. To pose, she just told us to look at each other and smile…easy, huh ? π For the second one, I think she was trying to get a little more ambitious…telling us to take a step forward. That didn’t happen…as you can see π
Emma says
Thats cool, I like how you are all in the same swimming costumes. How cool to get one every year to see the boys grow.

Yeah, that’s why we decided to get the second photo…despite how silly our faces look :0)

Thanks, Ai. I’m pulling the silliest face out of everyone but hey, it makes a good laugh π

That’s so funny Grace… what a fabulous idea. And I was holding my breath too, when looking at you guys underwater! Weird, I know.

Jennifer Kellerman says
I would have never thought of something like that in a million years. The photos are just perfect. Only one person seems to be having a rough time; the kid you are holding in the first picture π

Yes, it also happens to be the same boy I’m holding in the second photo π
Rachel @ The Kids Are All Right says
Ha ha – these cracked me up. Your kids are going to look at those in years to come and think how delightfully nuts their parents were.
