Those pictures we had developed...

My brother Robb turned forty Saturday.

Upon hearing his Uncle was turning forty my middle minion asked:

"If he is turning forty why isn't he really old looking?"

See, he isn't old looking:


It's a valid question.

On his birthday this was posted on his Facebook wall by our cousin Eric:

HBD Cousin! I remember when your Birthday meant getting to spend the night at your house, eating M&M's for breakfast, playing in junkyards, injuring ourselves on the minibike, harassing wildlife with bb guns, exploring fields and places miles away from any adult, and then returning and doing tame stuff like dunking basketballs on the trampoline, tackle football in the yard, swimming till we wrinkled, passing out tired in the bonus room after late night pool-athons, and waking up with a bag of M&M's in hand ready to do it again! Have that much fun today!

Sweet, huh. 

I love that he mentions the mini bike. 

The mini bike was this awesome little...well, mini bike...that had a motor. 

A motor that was hot as fire when it had been running for awhile which is probably what he was referring to. 

The miles that thing logged...

Oh, how I wish we still had it!


Here I am with my oldest brother on it. 

Way to be chivalrous and take the helmet, eldest...

Anyway, back to Eric.

Let me tell you a little story about Eric:

When I was probably nine, which would have made Eric and Robb fourteen, we took a trip to Disney World. 

We snapped this picture:


Then Mom handed the camera to the boys and told them to go their own way. 

They went. 

I'm pretty sure we only saw them at night.

Three days later we went home and developed the pictures they had made.

If we had saved those pictures this is what they would be of:

Random pretty girls in front of Cinderella's castle.

Random pretty girls at the People Mover.

Random pretty girls at Space Mountain. 

I think you get the picture. 

Two shots of them in front of the fountains and thirteen pictures of girls they didn't know.

So...

Since Eric left out: "taking pictures of random pretty girls" I thought in the interest of full disclosure I would bring it up.

Just trying to keep every one honest.

  1. I don't know what to say, I had no idea Robb was taking pictures of "random pretty girls" with Aunt Stella's camera...
