the Last Hurrah!

Out of all our 'summer beach photos' these are really a few of the only 'kind' ones.  In most of the photos everyone is making some obnoxious face- gesture- or just looks really bad.  This week is the last hurrah-- when we will be down there the most, before all the joys of the coming school year begin. I'm going to make sure i bring a camera and get some great photos that capture the good times spent.  My niece has this great waterproof digital camera.. that will come in to handy this week!!  Anyway~ the bay, nearing sunset. The street we stay on is really short- so i can literally sit on the front porch and see this off to the right, while the ocean is 6 houses to the left. However, this is one of the few days we decided to walk down to the bay dock and Sit. Wait. Watch.  We really do take things for granted~ every day normal occurrences. 

The beach at night~ still one of my favorite places. The sand is all cool, the ocean sounds louder than normal- everything is calm, still and crashing like thunder- all at once.  It's like, in the darkness, your senses can't make up their mind-- it seems quiet, but in reality it's so loud- you can get lost in the noise.  The girls found a hole, and yeah- this is as normal as it gets for them- in a photo pose. 

Our resident photographer~ Jess- and sidekick [aspiring to be just like Jess] Anna. Thinking of all the noise and confusion and craziness from the girls-   I can't wait to get down to that really small place this week. The last free week of summer:( The Last Hurrah-

Forgotten Love-


yeah- apart from the fact: I look like a dork!!!

I was on the ol' elliptical this morning, iPod on shuffle and Polaris came on- and well, I guess
it was just nice to be reminded of how much I love these guys:)

Polaris~ Jimmy Eat World
I'll say it straight and plain
I know I've made mistakes
I've always been afraid
I've always been afraid

A thousand nights or more
I travel east and north
Please answer the door

Can you tell me
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me

Get down on your knees
Whisper what I need
Something pretty
Something pretty

I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful

Then you tell me...
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me

I'm done, there's nothing left to show
I try but can't let it go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As the train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?

You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me

When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me 

on that note: i think i'll go on youtube- and look up Jimmy Eat World: 23.  I've seen it played a few amazing times- and i can never get bored of that one:)
