When people go on a family vacation they are always a little different. They can let loose, blow off some steam, and hang around in swimwear as there’s always a pool nearby. Or a lake. Or a beach. This family definitely ticks every box on the family vacation checklist.
Looks like it was a wonderful experience that everyone enjoyed. They enjoyed it so much they had to recreate at least that one special picture years later. The father’s hair was already gray and the little brother was so much taller than his sisters, but the memory is all that matters.
Enjoying the Little Things
With smartphones and social media, it's easy to forget how simple life used to be when we were little. When we were able to have fun and play games with things as simple as a piece of string. Take these two brothers for example — a simple cardboard box and some sunshine were all it took to make one of their best childhood memories.
Cut to a few decades and a few tattoos later, and these two are still inseparable. Great Photoshop skills, guys, for a minute we thought the background was really there! Hopefully, they still remember to enjoy trivial things and have fun in the sun.
Making a Mess
What a mess. Notice the cabinet on the left of the child is locked closed. That must be there for a reason. This baby is good at making messes, it is clear. So good in fact, that the parents had to take a picture to show the world how much of a little punk she was.
Now all grown up, she wanted to recreate the magical photo that made the rest of her family lock their cabinets when she came around. Making a mess is ill-advised when you are older because you are the one who has to pick it up. But if you are remaking a wonderful photo just like this, making a mess for something this epic is definitely a worthy cause.
You Still Don't Fit, Buddy
It seems like parents are always making their kids do silly and awkward things in front of the camera. These parents are no exception. They forced their three sons to squeeze into a rocking chair. Look closely and you’ll see the expressions go from great, to meh, to, okay that will do it.
With a priceless photo like that, it is only natural that the brothers recreate it several years later for their folks. We’re very happy with the recreated facial expressions, which are near spot-on. Bonus for the youngest dude for managing to recreate those awesome sweatpants he wore in the original. He nearly had us thinking it was the same pair!
Wink Wink
Little babies make the weirdest faces. They have all those new muscles to figure out, which is how we get a picture like the one on the left here. This sweet little two-month-old baby is an emoji in human form. This picture looks like it would fit well in a scrapbook along with a picture of the baby's first step and the first time he got his hair cut.
We do, however, doubt that there is a scrapbook big enough to include the rest of his pictures until he turned forty. The unique combination of his baby-self facial expression and his older adult facial hair makes for a hilarious side-by-side comparison.
