I’m sure you’ve seen them before. You take a photo from years ago, and recreate it with the same folks – but years and years later.  We siblings tried to do it 25 years ago when we took this photo from 1956

and tried to create it again in 1996 –

It was pretty lame as photo recreations go, but then again I think it was a spur of the moment thing!
Apparently, having a really good photo recreation calls for a bit of planning. You try to have as many details the same as possible – not just the same people! Granddaughter Hayley approached me this spring to do some sewing so she and Uncle Woody (son Josiah) could recreate this photo from our family vacation in 2011 (see yesterday’s post!).

She checked with Uncle Woody so he could be lining up his wardrobe, and I got to sewing a pair of lime green pajama pants! And then, at the Family Reunion at the Cabin this summer, they got to it! Short white socks, ankles showing, Uncle Woody in bare feet and looking at his phone.
They even made sure I was standing in the background – just like in the original!
So fun!
I gave some thought to some additional photo re-recreations during our reunion, but even trying to get one big group picture was a bit like herding cats…

Maybe next time!
