Not really. The other day I was just browsing through my photos from the trip when I came across these gems: outtakes from some jumping photos we attempted to take in front of the lake. Note the word attempted. I had completely forgotten about them and when they were rediscovered I couldn't stop laughing and knew I had to share.
p.s. Have you ever tried taking a group jumping photo using your camera's self-timer?
Not as easy at it looks my friends, not as easy as it looks. I can tell you this from experience. We tried and tried and tried some more, but eventually had to give up. We were a hopeless cause.
Luckily, our efforts did however leave us with some very entertaining {and pathetic} photos to look back on and laugh about in the years to come. We definitely look pretty ridiculous... especially me. What in the world am I doing in the third photo? I really have no clue. I think I was the worst self-timed jumper of us all, truth be told!
After we gave up on the self-timer approach, we finally achieved success with one of us behind the camera. Still not as easy as it looks {or maybe it's just us, ha!}, but eventually we prevailed!
Thank you Katie for teaching me to actually bend my legs when I jump rather than just looking like a complete moron and jumping straight up in the air!
On a completely different note, this weekend Jurgen and I are jetting off to Cape Town for a conference and will be gone the whole of next week. We're looking forward to a healthy mix of work and play and can't wait to re-visit one of our very favorite places in South Africa {the conference is being held at the same University where we first met!}.
That being said, it may be little quiet around here over the next week or so, but I'm going to try and post when I can throughout the week from that side {granted I have access to internet}. When I get back there will definitely be lots of pictures and stories to share :)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
