English Class Photoshoot: "Set Sail for Spring Break"

So, here's the story:
Isaiah and I are currently on Spring Break. I was not given very much homework to do over the break, only two assignments. One was a tiny worksheet from French class that I finished in a snap. The other was an assignment from my English teacher: we had to take a picture of ourselves reading something over the break, and make it as creative as we wanted to.
Now, unlike some of my classmates, I read a lot, so there's nothing special about a picture of me reading. So I decided to have some fun with it, and dressed up in a huge, full pirate costume left over from Isaiah's last birthday party.
But I wasn't going to get in this whole costume for just one photo, so after drafting Isaiah as a cameraman, we ended up making a big photoshoot, shot at a nearby park. At the end of the morning, we were filthy*, tired, and grinning from ear to ear. The end result is very silly, and was quite fun to make. We hope you enjoy it here.

*=Isaiah wasn't actually filthy. He had stayed away from all of the digging and setup because, quote, "I'm the cameraman and I need to take 'behind the scenes' pictures of all this stuff.
Next he'll want to direct.
