Passport Party

Have photo; will travel!  We have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get this show on the road.  We were sad to be told our departure date has been pushed back one month.  In an effort to lighten the mood we made a fieldtrip to get our passport photos taken.  The plan was to go after school, seems reasonable.  Kid one knew what and where we would go for all of this, mostly because she clarified before going to school that morning.  Photo day is a big deal to a 16 year old girl after all.  At dinner this particular evening kid middle shared with us her disappointment that the photo experience was not at all what she thought it would be.  She pictured us going to "some place fancy" for the photos.  Kid three thought we would need to go to the airport in order to obtain the proper photo to travel.  Much to their disappointment we went to our local Walgreens where they just "pulled down a white screen and took our picture in the middle of the store," as describe by middle.  Now we can try to build the excitment for the next big event, the passport party we anticipate having when the passports arrive for travel.
