It has turned into an annual family tradition each Fall to hike the Uppgaard Trail by the cottage and try to get family pictures, or at least pictures of the boys, for our holiday card. It usually means lots of bribing for good smiles. In the past I had pocketfuls of m&m's to dole out with each smile. This year we promised Chocolate Ox Ice Cream (though it ended up being closed for the season!). About 1/8 of the pictures usually turn out. This year I didn't even realize until we were out in the woods that Soren had the biggest dripped yogurt mess on the front of his shirt. Even if we don't get a picture, we now enjoy the hike and tradition that has been created and the picture outakes are just as fun now that the boys interact more and their personalities shine through.
