Josh either helping stoke the fire, or getting ready to kill someone… Either way, he’s having a good time.

Awwwww, Big Baby Josh got some smoke in his eyes…

Josh has cleaned out his eyes and forgotten about his murder plans…

AVP Milwaukee

Milwaukee really comes alive in the summer. Below are photos taken when the AVP (domestic pro beach volleyball tour) stopped at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee July 4 weekend. With John Hyden/Tri Bourne and Kerri Walsh Jennings/April Ross being the champions. See all the photos here.
