What should we bring with us?
Hair brushes to tame the fly-aways (good luck!) and some cool damp wash cloths to wipe down the kids are always a good idea. Cool drinks work wonders on a hot day to keep the kids cool and happy. Please try to leave the toys and sugary snacks behind, lots of well meaning helpers give little Sally a toy or a lollipop and then take it away just before a picture. My what a happy face that is! Would you tip a waiter who took your steak away while you chewed the first bite? And if you can stash your cameras away until after we're done the odds of having everybody looking at the RIGHT camera go way up.
