Personal & Life Updates

Finding a Old Disposable Camera…

Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates Leave a Comment

Is sort of like finding $20 bucks in your pocket.

An unexpected surprise.

There’s nothing quite like the mystery of film cameras – you take some pictures and then forget about them until they’re developed. With digital cameras, you can take the same shot 20 times to get it just right, and you know exactly what it’ll look like.

A film camera is sort of like a grab bag – you never know what you’ll get.

Finding old pictures can make you smile, laugh, sigh, and remember.

Let me share these pictures with you…from June and July of this year.

One of the lovely characters from my old job at an after school program. He had a laugh like you would not believe, and wasn’t able to control it, either.

Ah-dorable little children – the siblings of one of my students. Too cute for words, you guys.

And now! Pictures from Cedar Point. Let’s hear it for sunny days, cousins and roller coasters!

The oh-so-wonderful Tim joined some of my family (35 of my aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins) on our Cedar Point trip.
My lovely Mel was scared of roller coasters before this trip. After my 9-year-old cousin dragged her on Millennium Force, she got over it. (Isn’t 9-year-old cousin a little California dreamboat surfer boy? So. Cute.)

The cool kids. I love that we ranged in age from 15-27. Rock on.

Raptor! Quality camera, obviously. (Mel looks adorable at all times. It’s not fair. If she wasn’t 5′ – she’d be a model.)

Muscle men. (Seriously? My 9-year-old cousin has bigger biceps than me. Not. Cool.)

I so took this picture on the roller coaster. Totally breaking the “no camera on the ride” rule. That’s right – what now, Cedar Point?

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

And make sure to watch the debate tonight. :) (Uh, if you vote and/or are a US citizen. Or still watch it and make fun of American politics. I’m okay with that, too.)
