a thing in 44 photos in 2008 beach showing 2008 only · show all years 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! My skin feels like red. 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! Getting ready to make a run for it! The weather held, but about 90 minutes later, thing got DRAMATIC! It was so nice to have so much space and quiet. Nothing but the sounds of seagulls and waves crashing. About 40 minutes after we'd arrived, the dark and ominous clouds started rolling in. By the time we got to the beach it was still sunny, but the clouds were beginning to roll in a bit. Check out how empty the beach was! 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. I tried on his fedora but on my tiny pin-head it ended up looking like a bowler hat that Blossom's friend Sixx would wear. 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? Mohamed kept laughing at my fascination with the camels! But I had never really spent time around them and was really interested in how alien they were to me! Hahah. After eating and relaxing, and after the intensity of the afternoon soon died down a bit, we went swimming and snorkeling for a few hous. ...and watched more camels go by. Camel bath. The beach was lovely but hot! We hid out in the shade, drank tea, ordered light food... By 7:30pm the sun had already long set and there was a beautiful full moon rising over the Red Sea. Here's a view of Dahab's pebbly beach! Climbing up on top of the (very slippery!) jetty. The sunset was awesome. Skipping down to the jetty. Around 4:30, we made our way down onto the beach to watch the amazing winter sunset. Here's Shane, Sylvie and Tim. I love these pics so much!
