I know we dont really need them for this trip, but we got them to make things easier. Our pics are too funny. Hubby looks like a criminal with messy hair (they made him take of the baseball cap)...I look like I just consumed a bottle of cruzan and need a nap...and my teenage son looks like he is about to do something really wrong. Oh well, we can get new ones in 10 years
I think passport pictures are worse than drivers license pictures. The girl who took mine was really short, so she shot "up" and was way too close. I'm sure that somewhere along the way someone's going to make me show a second ID that I really am Jabba The Hut!
Tracy, did you put your travel date on the application? If so your kids' passports should come on time. Even if they dont, kids don't seem to get harrassed much while traveling so no worries!
