Cliff Jumping

This past summer was a mix of adventures, misadventures, frustration, excitement,
tomfoolery, surprises and giraffes.

I'm just kidding. 

There was no tomfoolery.

One lazy weekend in July, my amigo, Tyler, graciously offered to take myself and
my good friend Courtney down to his hometown of Scituate, MA to do some
wilderness exploration, cliff jumping, boat rides and maybe even a flight in a
water-plane!  Some of these came to pass, some of these did not.  Not for lack of
trying, but for reasons out of everyone's control

I had my camera with me (typical) and bagged some images of some of our cliff
jumping escapades, followed by an evening spent eating deli sandwiches, peanut
butter filled pretzels, topped off with some delicious cervezas, all on Tyler's family's
anchored sailboat in Scituate harbour.

A truly glorious day.  Even Tyler's sister Hilary joined in on the fun! 



Tyler's done this before

 
Courtney took a bit of convincing...

 


 

 


 
This girl took some convincing too...

  But she did it!

 
So did Courtney!

  
Me, post jump

 We all know she's actually a super model in real life.

Sweeneys, Sisters, Smithtown...

A few weeks ago, Flounder was down, visiting for an impromptu weekend visit.
That never happens!  But it happened then.  On a beautiful autumn Sunday, we
went to visit KaitlinSweeney.com aka SweeneyTodd aka Kaitlin "Fun Bagel"
Sweeney in her happy hobbit hole out in Smithtown, NY.  To our surprise and
delight, the house was full of Sweeney girls, from Mama Sweeney, all the way
down to little visiting cousin Sweeney.

We laughed a whole lot that day, and watched some old Deltone videos to boot.

It was a fantastic outing.  Here are some pictures...
