Backwards Looking Sequence of Pictures.

When we were growing up, dad had a video camera.  Not like today's cameras of course, but we did have movies on little reels and a screen to set up to watch them.   No sounds, just pictures.
And we could play them backwards.
Yes, we would beg dad to play them backwards and watch ourselves run backwards up the stairs, or wrap up the gifts, etc.  To the point that when we'd unwrap them, we'd do it with grand gestures, knowing it would look funnier when we played it backwards.

These memories came back to me when I was digitally flipping through a set of pictures.  It just looks backwards.  But it isn't.  Kayla in the bright pink top and striped shorts, and Megan is in the peach top an denim shorts.   Notice Megan's feet/legs beneath the car as she's getting squished out -- which isn't really big enough for both of them simultaneously.
I started taking pictures when the girls were both in the car -- and then Kayla climbed out.
The backwards "feel" to it probably won't translate well to this format, but regardless, here's a string of pictures of the girls.














Maybe it's just me that sees it so backwards looking, but if nothing else, it's cute to see Megan reaching for that peg in the last shot -- with her toes.
