It's especially empty...
meredith + far rockaway
Beach 110 Street is usually pretty empty.
meredith + far rockaway
Around 5:30, we packed up and headed back to the subway.
meredith + far rockaway
There! Perfect.
meredith + far rockaway
Somersaults and...
meredith + far rockaway
Peter Pan?
meredith + far rockaway
Haha.
meredith + far rockaway
CHICKEN FIGHT!
meredith + far rockaway
When these two get rambunctious, look out!

Babe sandwich.

Cat arrived a little after 2pm!
meredith + far rockaway
Sunny Mer.
meredith + far rockaway
I love this picture! Thanks for being my boo, boo.
meredith + far rockaway
No better birthday present than perfect beach-weather!
meredith + far rockaway
Pinchy!
meredith + far rockaway
Gurj rolled over and realized her wet bathing suit made a happy face. Haha.
meredith + far rockaway
So much blanket real estate.
meredith + far rockaway
The beach was practically empty this time around!
meredith + far rockaway
<3
meredith + far rockaway
We got to Beach 60th a little after 2pm.
meredith + far rockaway
Team Hobo forever.
meredith + far rockaway
I cah-rush your head.
meredith + far rockaway
Does it still count as leering if it's your wife?
meredith + far rockaway
On Sunday we took the train back out to Far Rockaway.
meredith + far rockaway
No better way I'd rather spend a Saturday.
meredith + far rockaway
Sun naps.
meredith + far rockaway
Squinty.
meredith + far rockaway
It was a perfect day and the beach was practically deserted!
meredith + far rockaway
Buds.
meredith + far rockaway
...Far Rockaway Beach 60th Street!
meredith + far rockaway
Mer and me.
meredith + far rockaway
The beach!
meredith + far rockaway
7 out of 10!
meredith + far rockaway
A couple minutes later, the rest of our group returned from a walk and decided to get in the mix. Going for 10!
meredith + far rockaway
5 out of 7! Getting there!
meredith + far rockaway
3 out of 7. 300% improvement!
meredith + far rockaway
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!
meredith + far rockaway
I think this is about as far in to the water as any of us went.
meredith + far rockaway
Oh, summer.
meredith + far rockaway
Debating whether or not to do in.
meredith + far rockaway
Take three! If you squint, it looks like they're spelling out S-H-I-T!
meredith + far rockaway
Take two.
meredith + far rockaway
Beach Jump!
meredith + far rockaway
Take Four is my favorite! Everyone's doing their own thing.
meredith + far rockaway
Take Three! Meredith got tangled up in her cape. Haha.
meredith + far rockaway
Got your cape all tied on? Good! It's time for....
meredith + far rockaway
Take Two. Total FAIL. But check out Gurj almost perfectly miming her exact pose and expression as the first take!
meredith + far rockaway
....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.
meredith + far rockaway
At the beach we met up with Amanda and Scott!
meredith + far rockaway
Handsome beach kids.
meredith + far rockaway
We ate fruit.
meredith + far rockaway
A little after 4pm, we decided to pack up our beach gear and head back to the subway.
meredith + far rockaway
Meredith put on Nina's goggles...
meredith + far rockaway
...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.)
meredith + far rockaway
Meredith took a nap of the beach: face down and covered in a towel. Hahaha.
meredith + far rockaway
We came back from our swim to find Siege, KT and Mer in the midst of a heated game of beach Scrabble.
meredith + far rockaway
The post-procedural patient. Hahaha. Meredith had read that if the whack was successful and the cyst had been ruptured, it would take a few days to for it to go away. Nothing to do but wait! (Spoiler: the cyst didn't go away).
meredith + far rockaway
Meredith, Nina and KT.
meredith + far rockaway
"....3!" WHAM! Nina didn't hold back AT ALL! (BTW, check out Nina's face, you can totally tell how much effort she put into her swing! Hahaha).
meredith + far rockaway
Here's Nina taking a few practice swings to line up her shot. "Ready? 1...2...."
meredith + far rockaway
Hahahah. And then he took this amazing photo of us jumping! (Meredith looks like a frog!)
meredith + far rockaway
And Siege snapped a few funny pics of Mer and I goofing around on the beach with his fancy cam. (Thanks for sending these over, Siege!). Here's our impression of that old Coppertone advertisement where a little dog is tugging at a girl's bathing suit.

Oooh-la-la!
