Two More Pics

And two more pictures throw their hats into the ring to be the picture of Summer 2014! 

*A side note*:
Can pictures have hats? I suppose if the picture is of a hat. And what ring? Forget about pictures throwing their hats (which they don't have) into rings (which we don't understand), what does that expression even mean for humans? 

Ahh. Apparently in the early 19th century, a member of the crowd during a boxing match could take the hat of their head (they all wore hats back then, naturally) and by throwing it into the boxing ring (they were circular then, not square) would signify that they would be the next challenger against the reigning champion. If there was no champ to box, the single hat would wait in the ring until another hat was tossed in as well, and then they'd have a good ol' fashioned 1800's boxing match on their hands.

So I guess the appropriate question is not, can pictures have hats but can pictures...box?

And the answer is of course yes, figuratively, if they're duking it out to see who will be THE Picture of Summer 2014.

See, I knew it'd all come back around. You just have to give it time, is all.

And how will we determine which picture (of our many nominees) wins the bout and emerges victorious as THE Picture of 2014?

Really don't know yet. We'll figure out something. Gimme a break, summer like just ended, I'm still taking it easy.

Your new contenders, hats and all:

From Robyn. Cabin #6 gone piratical.

And from a secret, anonymous source we'll code-name "Mark Schlichting's Dad". If this picture doesn't sum up a random second of a Cabin #4 counselors life, I don't know what does.
