Godson, sunsets, the Loch Ness monster, & more! [PICS!]

Post by Zaia »

I just spent a very quick two days vacationing where my family and I have gone every year since I was a few months old, and where my mom went when she was a kid, and where my grandparents went on their honeymoon, back in the Stone Age. Needless to say, when I was growing up, I got to spend a couple of weeks there and now it's just a couple of days, but the place is still magic to me. Maybe you'll see why when you catch the sunsets...

But to start us off, the cutest godson any girl ever had!

Image
Meet Noah. He's two. He's acting it. Didn't want to smile for his godmomma (ie: me). He still manages to be the cutest thing ever on two little legs. He's got this evil little laugh--ahh, I love him so much. :D

Image
It's a joke that my mom's side of the family has to stick their tongues out when they concentrate. Unfortunately for the kid here, he seems to have inhereted that from his momma (my mom's sister). Ah well, on him it's adorable.

Image
Noah playing with a manly truck. This is to counter the story about how he went to bed in a glittery pink tutu because he refused to take it off, he loved it so. I love my cross-dressing godson!

...How often does one say that?

Image
The view of Beach Lake from the array of Adirondack chairs strewn all over. Perfect for reading and soaking up the sun (in my case way too good for that--oww).

Image
A view of the lake from the parking lot, which itself is prime lakefront real estate. I didn't have much time with all the little rugrats running about to frame most of these photos well, but I like how this one turned out.

Image
Booyah! The family that owns all the cabins is Polish, as is my family. Ph34r! Or, whatever.

Image
Two of my cousins, Hannah (the redhead, Noah's older sister) and Erin, swinging high between my pushes.

Image
Ahh, Cabin One, where my grandfather would play Hearts and drop the Queen on people by rolling her out onto the table stuffed in a roll of toilet paper. The cabin is old and about to fall down, but who cares. We just say it's like one step fancier than camping!

Image
View of the lake from the rowboat side, at the far end of the property.

Image
Mmmm...I love that sky.

Image
Beach Lake sunsets are famous with most of my friends because I rave about them so often. I was fortunate enough to have had a clear night on Monday to take this photo (plus about 30 others).

Nessy? Is that you? In northeastern PA?!

Actually, I think the last one screams BOO! ,IMHO. Nevertheless, Z's Godson is cute and that sunset is beautiful.

Neat pics. I like the way you take pics of a place in America while editing out the Burger King and MdDonalds which must surely be up every tenth tree. :)

And thank you, Batman, for commenting on the undeniable cuteness of my godson. And yes, Nessy is very Zor-ish. :D

I have to confess, I'm not particularly scared of the POlish.


Cute kid, though.

Very nice pictures. Your godson is so cute.

And I do also have the habbit of sticking my tongue out when I am concentrating.

Not even when you get some on your trousers while doing your shoes? :P

I'm a lazy bastard who uses the bottle/sponge stuff.
