« Back to Virgin America Awkward Family Vacation Contest

“I insisted on having a nice ocean family photo. Our youngest, Maddie would not look at the camera. We kept urging her “Come on Maddie, look at the camera!” She was the only smart one who realized a HUGE was on it’s way! Our boy, Andrew has a very nifty green cast on his arm. Poor guy kept it out of the water all day…until the big wave.”

    I just tried pushing the Vote button two thousand times and it only went up one vote. Can’t figure it out.

    • Kirsten says:

      Other people told me they ran into the same issue with voting too.Even if I don’t get 100,000 votes I’m having fun with it, and love the comments & support of everyone. Thanks!!!

  3. Ken says:

    Did Andrew had to go get a new cast made?

    • Kirsten says:

      Furtunately we had a plastic bag over the cast so we didn’t have to get a new one. I have to say though it did start smelling pretty bad by the time he had it taken off.

    So hilarious! From the expression on your husband’s face, you would think the water was boiling hot and extra salty!

    Kinda funny, but I’m not sure it deserves to be this high in the rankings.

    The expressions on their faces are priceless! You can’t get those expressions faking…I love that there’s a genuine quality to this. This really had me chuckling…LOL

  13. Wendy says:

    You might think that the photographer would have told you what was about to happen!
