A Group Picture Challenge

Children's day is being celebrated here in South Korea every 5th of May and because most of us weren't deprived of a much awaited holiday from teaching, we decided to go for a group picnic at Eunpa park grounds. We did agree on KKB and then later share with others. I don't have kids yet but then I always consider my husband my eldest son :-). We did have fun and before we parted, I asked the Filipina mothers to try to gather their kids for a group picture. I explained that it will be a treasure to have pictures taken with their fellow Korean-Filipino kids. So the mothers called their kids and when they were already in one place, digital cameras started to click. This one clearly shows how challenging it is to take pictures of kids :-)

Each mother tried to have their kids on a posing mode to no avail because all they wanted was to run ....chasing each other. One kid ran back to her mother before we were able to click our digital cameras. When some kids started to cry because they were forced to pose for a group picture, we decided to let them go because it's their "day" and no one should be crying. These kids are up to have a very busy schedule in school in a few years time and as much as possible they mustn't be deprived of their treasured playtime.
