The Great Outdoors
“This is a photo of my sister camping in Hana, Hawaii. We lived there during our ‘awkward’ phase of 12-14. Family friends, who didn’t have children of their own, decided it would be a good idea to take 5 girls camping ages 9-13. Notice the lovely Christmas nightshirt my sister thought she should wear camping in July. She also is wearing the same braid that my mother put her hair in 4 days earlier. Jen was so filthy I think my mom burned her nightshirt when we got home.”

Jarheads
“This photo was taken at a stand in a local mall some time in the early ’90s. It is me, my grandma and grandpa. We were totally impressed with the technology that they used to make people look as though they were ACTUALLY in a JAR!’

Revisiting The Awkwardness: In Good Hands
“Twelve years to the day after the original was taken, we took this photo to show that my son Ian survived the entire hair-raising ordeal.”
