boat trip: black&white

a few weeks ago was the annual boat trip that my dad and brother talk about 

all year long.

this year was the first year they let anyone take pictures... 

something about "what happens on the boat stays on the boat"....

anyways i went and captured their departure! they had such a fun time.

thanks for being such good sports guys:)
