Her low center of gravity was to blame for the last place finish in the one footed log stand competetion. Don’t worry though, she later won the scowl off!
Looks like Dad is having a little trouble balancing on one foot . . . but it’s probably b/c he has an arm growing out of the top of his head. No wonder Mrs. Grumpypants is so embarrassed!!
The look on her face is priceless. LOVE IT. I am sure the next few photos on that roll of film had her joining in or out of the frame….but THIS photo probably captured the utter teenager funk that a day of family bonding brought out in us ALL at one time or another. It’s the photos that don’t turn out the way you envision that make you smile down life’s windy road.

did anyone else notice the second boy? he has his hands next to his face like he’s pretending to be a ninja cat.
She looks like an innocent bystander who somehow got caught in this middle of this photo.
SSHHHHH be vary,vary qwuiet we’re hunting the elusive orange beast! We can feed the clan for a full month!!
I recognize the location. It’s Galveston, TX. Duuuuuude.
The Boy With One Black Shoe…..
I know EXACTLY where this photo was taken. I’d recognize that scary kid/bird statue anywhere.
Galveston Island, TX
You’ll be glad to know that the statue survived Hurricane Ike.
I like the way the bird on the sculpture looks like it’s landing on Dad’s arm.
wow thats 2 blocks down from me!!!
I feel for this young woman leaning against the piling. Is this even more awkward because her fly is partially unzipped? Yikes.

“I can’t believe I spent 15 hours driving across three states in a mini-van with those people just to look at a stupid bird statue.”

Just curious, how do photos get into the Awkward Hall of Fame? Is it the amount of comments, response, or just the absolute awkwardness of it?
Brings back memories of a few family vacations when I was a teenager. “This is soooo lame, let’s go shopping for some more souvenirs.”
How did this picture not get submitted to Crane Kick Chronicles?
You can tell she’s the kid in the family that so did not want to go on the annual trip to myrtle beach….
It’s Galveston, TX.
HAHA! This is pretty epic…Thanks to the Karate Kid caption esp. I am still laughing. Kudos.
My theory is that it’s a random lady who’s sick of tourist walking by
What I’m wondering is whose flip-flop is that in the corner?
The kid on the first piling is barefoot, so it’s probably his. The other might be behind the piling or the unhappy woman.
It’s photoshopped in.
“One of these things is not like the other…”
“Which one could it be?”
This would be a great photo if not for Debbie Downer.
I burst out laughing when I read “Debbie Downer”-hysterical
“Waaah Waaah”
Oh wow, anyone notice thescary statue seemingly attacking the little boy???
She the one they used to climb up there. lol.
That was one of my first thoughts. She helped some of the others get up on their pilings and there’s no one left to help her up. Bummer.
I’m gonna call Photoshopped! (j/k)!!!

If she can’t be apart of the fun, she’ll pout and ruin the picture for everyone else. That’s the spirit!!! I say they crop her out!
Crop her out??? After taking all that effort to Photoshop her in??? [just kidding - I'm not claiming "Photoshop" or "first,"]
That’s hilarious! Why did she even bother being in the picture?
So very awkward…
Being once a teenager, I seriously doubt it was her choice. Obviously this is someone who does NOT WANT TO BE IN THE PICTURE, MOM. JEEZ.
LOL, the look on her face is awesome!
