You'd never guess these photos were taken on the beach

The mother looks startled, the father seems on the brink of laughing out loud, and the child looks like a bundled-up football. This scene really sums up the difficulties of trying to take a nice family photo. Even though it may not always be captured in the picture, this is the chaotic reality that goes on behind the scenes when you’re trying to get a child to pose.

These parents are sure to be teased about this little blunder for years to come! This photo will definitely be used as leverage by their kids in the future. However, if you’re going to accidentally drop your child, doing it on the sand is definitely better than on a hard surface like a parking lot.
