Caption contest: Along for the ride at the carnival

Here's this week's caption photo.

We went to the Kapolei Carnival over the weekend and had a fantastic time.

There were a few things that surprised me about this carnival. One of them was that we didn't get any good caption contest photos. The shot I think is best suited is the one at left, when our oldest daughter rode the merry-go-round for a second time. [more]

Caption winner: With right spell, no need brush teeth

This is the caption photo for the week.

Ynaku pretty much ran away with the votes this week. There was one point yesterday when he and Jermel were tied but Ynaku's caption quickly regained the lead in the poll and never let go.

Congratulations, Ynaku! And congratulations also to Jermel and jdk, who rounded out the Top 3. [more]

Caption voting: Spells, wands and dental plans

This is the caption photo for the week.

We got a lot of variations on cuteness and adorability for this week's caption contest photo, and it made me very happy to read the entries. We also saw a lot of clever references to previous blog posts, which is something I tend to fall for.

Please cast your vote for your favorite before tomorrow Thursday at 9 p.m., when the poll closes. [more]

Caption contest: Ready for Halloween

This is the caption photo for the week.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! We sure did. We had a family party at our house and we had a fantastic day.

For the caption contest this week, I thought we'd use a picture that Zee took Thursday, when she was getting the costumes ready for our girls. [more]

Caption winner: Juicing it up at the park

Here's this week's caption photo.

It was interesting to watch the poll evolve the past couple of days. snow's and kikaida's captions took turns holding the lead and were tied for a long time before one more vote for snow's entry finally came in and broke the tie, handing snow the win.

Congratulations, snow! [more]

Caption voting: Yuck, ewwww or silent burp?

Here's this week's caption photo.

Lots of great captions again, as usual! Zee and I went back and forth and back again before finally deciding on three entries for the poll.

There were many different approaches you could take with this photo and with three people in the shot, there were also opportunities for dialog. [more]

Caption contest: Living it up at the park

Here's this week's caption photo.

I had two beers at two different occasions this weekend. If you know me, you know that's considered partying hard by my standards nowadays.

My drinking came to a screeching halt after we had kids. I didn't plan it that way. It just happened. There was one thought I just couldn't shake: "What if something happens to them and I can't take care of them because I've been drinking?"

Maybe that reasoning is beginning to fade. [more]

Caption contest: Looking at lei at Longs

The captions go with this photo.

During a trip to Longs, our daughters were looking at what appeared to be kukui nut and shell lei. I'm not sure exactly what they found so interesting about these lei, but they spent about a minute looking them over, talking and giggling.

What were they talking about? Post your suggestion as a caption for this week's contest. [more]
