Summer Catch-up: Part 1

  • by

We have done a lot of things that have not made it onto this blog. Since this is the last week of summer for us, I thought I should post some of the highlights.

May:

E’s scooter ride.


I’s bungee ride


Photograph of Grandpa taken by E… most are not nearly as good as this.

June:

Story time at Jamaica Pond.  Good to be with friends.


A couple more from E.


Waiting for the Green Line.  Forever as always.


Near the Basketball stadium.  Can’t keep track of it’s name… is it called The Garden again? and I in front of the longest suspension bridge in the US… or is it the world?


Wall art in North End after eating Pizza Regina.


The many faces of E.  Thankfully he kept his fingers out of his mouth!


Both kids at the Public Garden. This is before dinner at Upper Crust.


These are after dinner and ice cream.

Let’s go to Lake Side

Have you ever been? Do you love it? Would you ever consider being photographed here?

These photographs only show a few of the very retro rides and sadly none of the signs or ticket booths. I couldn’t do them justice with my point-n-shoot camera with no tripod and diminishing light. I took a few images that show some of the things we did that evening. You will get a feel for the place at least.

Disclaimer: these images taken with a rinky-dink camera.

Many of the kid rides were very similar. Round and round in a circle. But you could tell they were built in a by-gone age.

We found the boys from our perch on the Farris Wheel.

So many things at the park inspired me. Even the bathroom.

Beautiful sunset from the train ride around the lake.

The party to end all parties

How could you beat the rock n’ roll birthday party?  What will you do next year?
The kids dressed up, played rock band for awhile, had a watermelon spitting contest (which I won, hehe), were handed  golden cd awards, and even had a cd cover photoshoot a la Stacie.  Here are the results.
I’ll try to name who I can:

Here’s the birthday boy; AKA Tommy Lee

Guns N’ Roses?  No… Lars from Metalica

Ozzie

Singer from “Green Day”

Hannah Montana

The girl from “Camp Rock”

Dude from “Foo Fighters”

Gene Simmons

All the way from Argentina

Our neighbors have had family in town for awhile and wanted to mark the occasion with some portraits. I am so happy they chose me to photograph them. We love living so close to such a wonderful family and can’t wait to have our girls go to school together.

Let’s go someplace different…

So we did. Every time I see a building with a cool texture or color or pattern I want to photograph at that spot. Saturday this little fam was game for anything. We headed to two of the places I keep seeing. Can’t wait to go to the other spots on my list.
This little guy was so happy and friendly. When I asked for a mean face he got very confused. He’s such a nice kid he hasn’t ever used a mean face.
