We filed these posts under the category of Caption contest

Every Monday, we’ll post a recent photo and invite readers to come up with a caption that describes what those in the picture — usually one or both of our daughters — could be saying or thinking. We pick our favorite three captions and put them up to a vote every Wednesday. Finally, we present the weekly winner on Friday.

As a bonus, here's a list of all those who took home a medal in the contest in the past year. Is your name on the list? [more]

Caption contest: Taking her own picture

Here's this week's caption photo.

It could be that our oldest daughter wanted to try something new for the caption contest. Or it could be Narcissism 101. Or, it could be that she was just playing with our camera. [more]

Caption winner: Both too filling and too cold

The captions all go with this photo.

Newcomer January took the an early lead in the poll this week, but veteran and dialog specialist jdk caught up sometime yesterday and made it a race all the way to the end.

As a matter of fact, the two remained locked in a race even when the voting was over. That's right: We had another tie. [more]

Caption contest: Hale'iwa shave ice
