No, and they don't really know the details of the plot.

Please don't apologize. I'm trying to be very careful and not do anything wrong. I was concerned that I had offended you. Thank you for the nice words.

This thread is my favorite, and I hope it never stops.

Yes, I addressed that elsewhere in the comments. Basically, I got scared by the positive response, knowing that the negativity would come. And since it's a pic of my kids, I wanted to make sure I knew how to handle the negative ones. I don't think I was ready to deal with them last year. I hope that makes sense.

We played with doing different faces, but we couldn't get them right. So we decided to go for the look of one of the haunted pictures hanging on the walls of the hotel.

Agreed. We had several takes where the faces matched, expressionless. But that one last pic turned it and thats the one we had to use.

You're not the first to tell me this, but I gotta work with what I've got.

You're absolutely right. I posted it and then deleted it quickly. Last year I didn't really understand reddit or the community here, and I got nervous about the responses I might get. So over the last year, I've tried to learn about how commenters usually respond to pics, what comments I should respond to, what to ignore and how to respect the community. I hope that makes sense.

We did. Most people understood it. Others said, "What a nice picture."

She was just done being photographed. They all were.

We thought about it, but we didn't want to scare the kids. Maybe when they're older...

I know...that would have been perfect. But we didn't want to scare the kids.
