tagged together in 113 photos beach + far rockaway 50% sunglasses coverage and pasta from home? BEACHFAIL! Love these two. Better than work. It's especially empty... There! Perfect. Haha. Catspring. I could take pictures of these two jumping around in the sand all day. Hahah. Somersaults and... Peter Pan? Haha. CHICKEN FIGHT! When these two get rambunctious, look out! Ok! Jared and the Sea. <3 Schnack time! A few minutes later, Jared and Gurj arrived! Babe sandwich. Cat arrived a little after 2pm! Feeling better already. Heading out. Perfect. We still finished the entire thing. Hahah. I love the sunlight through the clouds. ...it's time to get going. Shake the sand out of your blanket... I love this picture! Thanks for being my boo, boo. ...for taking pictures of beach bottoms! Late afternoon sun. Laugh and run. ...a sandy cock-neck! 100% awesome. Alex spent some time masterfully sculpting... We even got to play beach frisbee! BIRTHDAY DREAM COME TRUE! We chose an isolated location away from any other groups and set up camp! Beach poses! Look how much distance we had between us in either direction! No better birthday present than perfect beach-weather! Christina found a whole crab. It's striped lega are so beautiful... Pinchy! Gurj rolled over and realized her wet bathing suit made a happy face. Haha. Christina, Gurj and Cat! So much blanket real estate. We arrived to find Cat and Cynthia had already staked out prime real estate. The beach was practically empty this time around! <3 Ah, the beach. Does it still count as leering if it's your wife? Sun naps. Squinty. It was a perfect day and the beach was practically deserted! Wildflowers. The ocean view from the train platform. ...Far Rockaway Beach 60th Street! Mer and me. Perfect beach day! We met Geordon out there... ...and Mandy and her friend came out too! Leigh and Geordon came out to meet us. The beach! The beach wasn't too crowded! We got off at our normal stop in Far Rockaway... Later that afternoon we took the A train to Beach 67th Street. Far Rockaway Beach! 7 out of 10! A couple minutes later, the rest of our group returned from a walk and decided to get in the mix. Going for 10! 5 out of 7! Getting there! 3 out of 7. 300% improvement! The larger your group is, the more difficult it is to capture everyone's feet in the air when you're taking a jumping photo. 1 out of 7 = FAIL! Oh, summer. We walked down to the water to check out the absolutely massive (for NYC) waves that were starting to break. Check out the curl and spray! Oh man. Every summer comes to an end. September sneaks up on you and you need to fight fall off a little bit longer with as many more trips to the beach as you can get in before the weather turns! Mandy and Brother Lawrence. We rounded up a massive crew and all went to Far Rockaway to enjoy the lovely late summer weather. Catrinel looking summery. We headed back home around 4:30. Take three! If you squint, it looks like they're spelling out S-H-I-T! Take two. Beach Jump! Take Four is my favorite! Everyone's doing their own thing. Take Three! Meredith got tangled up in her cape. Haha. Got your cape all tied on? Good! It's time for.... Take Two. Total FAIL. But check out Gurj almost perfectly miming her exact pose and expression as the first take! ....obligatory photos of everyone jumping at the beach! Yay! Take One: Gurj, Scott and Amanda have amazing form in this pic. Sarah, however, failed to achieve lift off. At the beach we met up with Amanda and Scott! On Saturday, a whole bunch of us went back out to Far Rockaway for a beach day... Usually we go to the western, more deserted part of Rockaway Beach, but this time we went to the main beach so that Pauly could surf. Handsome beach kids. The next morning, Nina and I got up super-early and took the A train out to Far Rockaway. It was completely and totally deserted and it was AWESOME. Crazy that this is beach is a 45-minute, $2-dollar subway ride away from Manhattan, right? I entertained myself by throwing carrots and watching the seagulls viciously fight over them, only for the winning bird to pick it up every time and realize that it wasn't even something good to eat. Birds + Carrots = Comedy Gold! (Yes, I know that I'm retarded). These huge military-transport helicopters kept flying back and forth in front of the beach. On Sunday Meredith and I went out to Far Rockaway to say goodbye to summer! The beach was practically deserted! We ate fruit. ...and we teamed up for this incredibly hot photo. (I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to let you in on a huge secret: WE ARE HUGE FUCKING DORKS.) I took KT's tiny, velour hoodie and put on a fashion show for Siege. Sassy!
