Started downloading the pics from all the cameras. gave my 7yr old his own because I wanted to see the vacation from his point of view. 472 pics in 6 days. Almost every moment documented. Now I just need to figrue out how to post a pic to prove I was there.
Id love to see some your youngens pictures. Post a few around here or start a new thread for them once you figure out how you want to go about doing it.
