Three billion is my number of choice right now, apparently. lol.
How many people are getting married this fall?
Three billion. (The odds are in your favour.......)
How many places in this world do I want to travel to?
Three billion. (The main one being Ireland. lol.)
Anyways.... basically, I just spent way too much time going through some pictures from this summer, and then a ton more time waiting for them to upload. And some of them are practically the same, and you will probably look at them and be all "why did she feel the need to upload both of these pictures?" and i totally can understand why you would feel that way.
But the thing is..... I love them. lol.
You don't have to though! =)
And these are not pictures from a ton of different events. they are just a lot of pictures from a few different things that i did this summer. because i really did not take that many pictures this summer!
Anyways, here we go.....
Collecting shells on the beach was THE thing to do this year. =)
this is me. lol.
wendy with her pink bucket. I just like whatever it is that her hand is doing there. lol.
me and renee being so happy together.
i have no doubt that i am sharing some wonderful bit of wisdom with wendy in this picture. you know how big sisters are.
the sunshine was superbly bright that evening. it made for some awesome pictures, and some pictures that just did not turn out because it was too bright.
this is wendy dancing around in the water. so are the next few pictures after this.
"Hey, Wendy, wanna come hold my hand for a picture? Please? Wendy? Come hold my hand, Wendy. Come on." Lol. Kid didn't want to hold my hand. It took some serious convincing. lol.
"See? It is not even that bad." lol.
She makes me laugh. =)
Renee sitting on the awesome big rock.
This is the face of a child who no longer wants to have pictures taken of her. Also the face of a child who wants to go swimming. Or at least back to the cottage.
I love the light in this picture. Renee took it at the perfect angle or something. Good job, Renee. =)
This was one side of my head after renee was finished with my hair. I like it. yes, i do. lol. sorry.... it is late at night, and i'm tired, and i have to wake up in like, four hours for work, and so i'm just kind of powering through this, which explains why the things that i am saying are not witty or funny or even particularly interesting. lol.
wendy on the rock.
yes, it is yet another flattering angle for photos. cause there is nothing better than looking at a picture and seeing knees and feet before you find the people's faces. lol.
The cottage is... -oh, how shall we say it- a happy time. =)
The great thing about kenton is that if you sit there long enough and take many many pictures of him, he will provide you with many different expressions. You just have to be patient. It is worth it in the end. =)
One of those perfect summer days....
ooooh! this was at the beginning of summer! at wonderjam! this is the Leviathon. Funnest rollercoaster ever!!!! Not as scary as the Behemoth!! Like, i think, if you rode this one too much, it would maybe get.... boring??? not like the behemoth, which never fails to scare me. lol. but this was the perfect way to end a day at canada's wonderland. even if i did have to miss out on part of the awesome skillet concert to ride it. seriously... last year, i did not like skillet when i saw them at wonderjam. but this year??? they were completely awesome. and i'm so sad that i had to miss part of their show. but happy that i rode the Leviathon. mixed feelings are going on here... lol.
this is on the way to york, PA. Not a particularly good picture... I just think kenton and curt are funny there in the back seat. lol.
again. a bad picture (my face looks crooked?? do i have a crooked face??? i wish someone had told me...),
but kenton's intense eyes in the back make me laugh every time. lol.
"Why are you taking a picture of us? What is wrong with you" lol.
me and kaylin and the vein in my forehead. lol. yup. it's still with me. =)
me and kayleen and jana.
jana's moment of brilliance. =)
me and trish. and phil. lol. the thing that is funny about this picture is that we have a railing in between our heads. lol.
and... we match!! look at us!!! =) it was just awesome to be with trish again, after weeks and weeks of not seeing her while she was in Mexico.... and we had a ton of fun planning the sunday school lesson that we were supposed to teach. that was just... funny. lol. and we didn't have a bed, or an air mattress, and so we slept on the floor, and it just got a bit harder each night... lol. good memories. =)
me and jana waiting for the bus. yes. if you see anybody with one of these expressions on their faces, you can pretty much guarantee that they are waiting for a bus. it is the "waiting for a bus" expression. lol. sorry.
don't know what's wrong inside my head tonight. =)
me and jana getting on the bus.
me and jana on the bus. lol.
me and tory!! =) once again... talking instead of participating. this seems to happen at least once every summer. lol.
me and meg!!!!!! it took a lot of work to get this picture! lol. laying on a bed in our tiny cottage with three billion happy, loud, talking possibly-Italians like right outside our window. so many memories! like thinking that we would go swimming while the sun set on friday night (lol yeah right... the absence of sun= cold. plus, there were so many little fish!!!!!! i hate little fish!!!! i cannot hardly stand to be in the same water as little fish!), and setting off the smoke alarm while cooking, and making good food (like spaghetti! and turnovers. but we didn't make those...we bought them! at wal-mart. which does not sell those air mattress thingers that you use to float on in the water. which is dumb. they do, however, sell noodles. but it's just not the same, you know?), and visiting the lady who owns the cottage that my family goes to, and getting confused on the way home, and listening to the wonderful cd that meg made of all of the songs that have meant something to us at some point in our friendship......... good times. "we don't even have to try, it's always a good time...." lol.
oh!!!
and if you want to read some of the best writing in the whole entire world, you should go look at meg's blog, because she happens to be one of the best writers in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and someday, she is going to be famous, and when she is, don't you want to be able to say "ha. i read her blog and knew how wonderful and talented she is before the rest of the world did." would that not give you a great sense of satisfaction?? okay... here is the link: http://pensamientospequenos.wordpress.com/. follow it, and be amazed. =)
this was a fun night with megga! we went walking, and the sun was just so pretty!! like, you could almost like, touch it, and feel it in the air or something. so of course it made us a little silly, and we decided to take three billion pictures of our shadows. but i just put one of them on here. and it is not even the best one. i do not know what is wrong with me. lol.
that is a tiny glimpse of my summer 2012.
it was a good one.
actually, i think it was the best one. =)
