Vacation
Bear Hug
“My father took this of me in 1968 in the parking lot of Lollipop Farm, a petting zoo in Henrietta, NY. Apparently, they just had a grizzly bear head lying around for kids to play with. I probably had bear brains in my hair when I too, that thing off.”

Dismount Vernon
“In the 1970s, my family took a trip to Mount Vernon, Virginia, home to George Washington. The whole family was there: my grandparents and aunt, my mother and father, and my sister and me. We decided to pose for photos atop one of the fences in the garden. I remember my father set up the tripod and watched as the family disappeared from view while the fence came crashing down. The only family picture he has from that day is us scrambling to get up, but unharmed. My sister and I were hysterical with laughter, but the rest of the family was humiliated.”

This Bud’s For You
“I was swimming in the creek with my dad relaxing and keeping an eye out for snakes. Not one to litter, he was trying to throw the can up to the bank when this legendary pic was snapped.”

Udder Nonsense
“My wife and I took our 2 girls to the University of MO’s College of Vet Medicine’s open house in 2002. We took lots of pictures and this gem was discovered by my mom when we were showing her the pictures a few weeks later. Even with sophomoric minds, my wife and I hadn’t noticed the great placement of the cow’s udder in relation to me standing there.”

Cinco De Why-o
“My sister and I had a long day carrying our fanny packs around Disney, but our mom wanted to get a fiesta photo at Epcot for good measure. No queremos sombreros!”

America the BooHoo-tiful
“We took our kids to Mt. Rushmore when they were little. Obviously, I wanted a photo of the fam in front of the iconic mountain. This is what I got. My daughter was convinced that she was going to fall off of the ledge and plummet to her death… in actuality, it was a three foot “drop” to the back row of benches in a huge amphitheater. She refused to turn around and look for herself. Instead, she just sat there and bawled. Four years later, that’s still her go-to reaction to pretty much everything.”
