Vacation
Watermelon Face
“My mom took this picture of me on an Alaskan cruise in 1997. I didn’t notice watermelon face & the odd ice sculpture until someone recently pointed it out.”

Feeding Frenzy
“This photo was taken at West Coast Game Park Safari located in Bandon, Oregon around 2000. As we walked into the park my sister saw a baby goat and picked it up while I was feeding one of the deer. Next thing I know I am bombarded by deer and goats. My parents snapped the photo of my cute sister without seeing me in the background.”

The Toilet Tour

The Vacation Bunch
“This was taken just before we were attached to a steel cable and hurled through the Thai jungle (like a flying fox – the tour was called “Flight of the Gibbons.”) As you can see, my husband looks like he was quite excited about the tour.”

The New Guy
“That time my mother thought it would be a great idea to take us to Madam Tussaud’s to meet her new eight foot Slash lookalike boyfriend for the first time.”

Back to the Beach
“Then is a picture of my brother and I in Beach Haven, New Jersey. We recreated it 40 years later.”

The Clash
“This family picture was taken around 1989, not 1969 as the hairstyles and tacky wallpaper might lead you to believe. Though this is my immediate family (I’m the girl with her eyes closed), fortunately this is not our house. Between my mom’s perm, my dad’s dejected slouch, my sister’s broken wrist and mid-chew expression, and the world’s most hideous interior design, this picture is bursting with awkwardness!”

Maui Meltdown
“My family was leaving Maui after a 3 week stay to go back to cold, rainy Canada. I had a major meltdown at the airport. As you can see, my mother is not impressed, my sister is amused, and my Dad took it as a photo opportunity.”

Oh, Canada
“This is a photo of my cousin, her brother and dad. She’s not sure exactly where it was taken. Obviously at a lake, and somewhere in Florida. Funny thing is (other than my uncle selecting this boat to pose for a picture with his kids) my aunt was the one taking the pic. My cousin sent this to me saying, “Wouldn’t this be perfect on Awkward Family Photos?” Why, yes. Yes it would.”
