Caroline ~co-starring The Wonder Twins

More photos from our recent family trip. This time I took Caroline out along with The Wonder Twins (Wilkins , light hair ; and Jacks, dark hair). We had a great morning playing and exploring.

In the middle of our adventure Caroline looked at me and asked, "Can you make a movie with these images?"

"Well. Sort of," I replied.

"Good. We're ready to be famous. That way we can start our band."

By the time the trip was over, they had cheerfully and unanimously named their new band "The Rockers". And this was to be not only the images that made them famous, but also the ones to be used for their album cover.

"It's more efficient that way." That's how Wilkins put it.

Alas, it was not meant to be. By the end of the day the band was no more.

"I can't take this Hollywood lifestyle, " bemoaned Jacks. He, of course, was all set to be the quiet, moody art-eest that was so aloof his fans would just HAVE to know more.

"I'm quitting the band."

Caroline overheard. "Well, if Jacks is out, then I am, too."

I turned to Wilkins. "So, are you done as well?"

Wilkins is the showman. He was all set to be David Lee Roth to Jacks' Kurt Cobain. (Caroline would be a mixture of Cher, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Liza Minelli) My sister had told the three all about Elvis only hours before. Wilkins was smitten to the point that we had already ordered him the classic Vegas jump suit that was The King's trademark.

He curled his lip and snarled at me, cocked his hip and mumbled in his best Elvis impersonation.

"Uhhh, that's right, baby. The King has left the building. Uhhhhh, thank ya. Uhhhhh thank ya very muuuch."
