Cruise Control
“This is my EPIC family on a cruise in 97′.. my sister is the clock work orange girl and my brother thought he was 2pac although, we grew up in the suburbs..(well he might still think he is straight outta Compton)… My mothers pants.. need I say more? God rest her soul… and we also found Waldo that day (aka my dad).. Not that I’m a saint in my tapered jeans. However, any time my husband questions my sanity.. I pull this bad boy out and am immediately forgiven, having hailed from such a troubled past, I’m not all that bad!!!!!”

Without A Paddle
“The adults insisted that we didn’t need a guide to ride down the Nantahala River. The river is considered to have “class III family-friendly rapids.”However, my family were obviously novices. Most of the journey passed without incident, but we were taking on water – lots of it. The falls were the pinnacle of the trip. Dad bounced out the back of the raft. My stepmom jumped out after him while my sister grabbed me and told me to get ready for the camera. That’s us in the front of the boat. My aunt, uncle and cousins tried to steer the rogue vessel ashore to no avail. Men threw ropes from the edge of the river and I remember seeing a sign that read something about dangerous rapids ahead. More ropes dangled across the river, so you could latch on and save yourself as a last resort. It took the remaining adults and some help from the bank, but they managed to beach the raft and everyone made it to safety. Everyone involved tells different stories about that day with varying levels of intensity. For example, my aunt still insists that we were in no danger because ‘a bunch of nuns could do it.’ I’m not quite sure what that means.”

Overboard
“We went out for a sail with a group of friends, but one wasn’t really a sailor. When we had to ‘tack’ and the sail changed direction she just lay there until (helped by the weight of her chest) she began to slip head first, screaming, in to the Mediterranean. Thankfully some quick thinkers grabbed her ankles in time. I just reached for the camera to get this classic action shot.”

Try Pot
“This is me, front center with my sisters and two cousins visiting a ginger factory… We didn’t try the drugs as suggested.”

Pass The Porron
“On holiday with my family in Spain. The porron was passed around and it seems I took my turn. Not sure if it was wine or not, but I suspect it was.”

The Jump Off
“I decided that we should all jump into the pool after our beach photo shoot while in Hilton Head Island, SC. Everyone was excited about the idea. The instructions– kick your legs to your butt so it looks like we’re jumping high (pool wasn’t that deep). Two weeks later we get pics back from photog and my sister looks like she’s being tortured! Her response: ‘Well, I couldn’t figure out how to jump while holding hands! And how in the heck is everyone smiling and looking at the camera?! I look ridiculous.’ Yes, sister, you do. but we still love you.

Up A Creek
“So my dad went white water rafting. He claims that he was paddling so hard that the current pulled him in… typical dad answer.”
