What's Wrong With This Picture?

This photo was taken last Saturday. Oldest Boy and I were on a ski lift.

So, what's wrong with this picture? Besides the too-bright light, too-close (arms length), unflattering angle, shot...I'm not wearing a helmet.

Chris and the boys wear helmets on the mountain and I don't. It's not that I'm opposed to it, I've just not taken the time to buy one. As most skiers/boarders know, 20 years ago we didn't wear helmets. Those of us with little or no money didn't wear goggles, or even snow pants. Jeans and a can of Scotch Guard seemed to work fine.

I'm buying a helmet, Chris. I promise.

This photo was taken this morning while the boys were riveted to Clone Wars.

So, what's wrong with this picture? We spent all day yesterday (Saturday) working in the yard. We obviously didn't use good sun-sense. [Notice Toddler Child's neck, but all three boys have sunburns on their arms, necks, ears and cheeks.] Chris has had multiple squamous cell carcinomas removed over the years and our boys inherited his funky white skin. Shame on us for not applying sunscreen. It's rare, but it happens.
