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.

A little after 4pm, we decided to pack up our beach gear and head back to the subway.

Meredith put on Nina's goggles...

...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!

Meredith took a nap of the beach: face down and covered in a towel. Hahaha.
far rockaway
Hahaha.

After the wind had dried my hair into a salty mess, Meredith snapped some sweet pics of my beach hair!

We came back from our swim to find Siege, KT and Mer in the midst of a heated game of beach Scrabble.

Floatin'.

I swam way out and took a bunch of pics. I love the fluffy clouds behind the buildings.

I had brought my waterproof camera case so I decided to go for a swim and take some pics! Nina came with me (and if you look closely at the right-hand side of the pic, you can see her pointing her toes and doing one of her famous "I was a former synchronized swimmer" moves). Hahah.

Perfect beach weather.

Great success! We arrived at the beach a little after 2pm and managed to find Nina and KT!

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).
far rockaway
Meredith, Nina and KT.

Siege was on the scene taking pics of the ladies.
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).
far rockaway
Here's Nina taking a few practice swings to line up her shot. "Ready? 1...2...."
far rockaway
Hahahah. And then he took this amazing photo of us jumping! (Meredith looks like a frog!)

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.
