    Dear Valerie,

    That plane hardly looks aerodynamic at all!

    In fact, I’d say that it looks like a box with wings. 🙂

    Love,
    Mark

    Love the look on their faces. So what did you hook those scarves onto make them look like they were floating in the breeze?

      These photos were taken in the wind tunnel that is in the room next to our anti-gravity chamber. 😉 Just kidding, Mark threw the scarves up, and jumped out of the shot in time for me to snap the photo… hee hee!

    Looks like the girls had a blast! I can’t get over how much alike they look!

      It’s really crazy, isn’t it? Especially when I style their hair the same way.

    How very very fun. Now I’ve got the song “Up in the Air, Junior Birdman,” in my head.
