Anything Goes

Now that it is summer I keep telling Tiny that he doesn't have to wear socks.  He however insists on wearing them twenty four hours a day seven days a week.  He will only take them off to go into the bath and then they are right back on.  I gave up the fight and sometimes I think the attitude of "anything goes" just seems so much easier.  He is so happy in his socks why must I fight it?

A Charming Saturday

This weekend we headed to the boardwalk to go on the rides, play games and have some cotton candy.  The weather was beautiful.  Below is the view from the Crazy Bus ride (Photoshopped).

After the boardwalk we headed over to the patio bar for some lunch.  The boys enjoyed some cotton candy.  A very special and very rare treat.

This is the view from our table.  There is plexi glass up to block the wind. So it is such a nice place to sit. Also there are lots of fishing boats in view so it is fun to watch them getting their boats ready to head out to the ocean.

We always have such a fun time at the boardwalk.  This boardwalk is in Point Pleasant, NJ.  We live very close so it is a fun easy quick visit.  During the summer however it gets very crowded so our trip are limited due to lack of parking and crowds, but at this time of year we truly love it.

We might however have to make a trip down to Seaside boardwalk.  But only because we have a fun reason.  My parents' motor home is being used as a make-up / wardrobe trailer for a movie that is being filmed there at the moment.  Does that get me special privileges to go on set to get some fun photos? I'm not sure, but I might have to try.  If I don't get to Seaside maybe I can tag along when they are filming closer to home in few weeks.  All I know about the movie is that it is some sort of a mob movie and Julia Roberts brother is in the movie.  Rumor has it we get to go to the premier. I wonder if Julia will be there?  Oh that would be so much fun.  I'll promise to take lots of pictures.

I haven't seen any movie stars lately, but my niece has. She was an extra in the movie "Tower Heist" and she filmed in a few scenes with Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller, Casey Affleck, Matthew Broderick, ect... She is too young to know any of them.  I saw her a few hours after filming and she had no clue who Eddie Murphy was even though she had just spend several hours sitting next to him. Sigh.

Does it count that I used to be a dog trainer and I trained Tom Cruises' sister's dogs?  Okay I better get on site and update my movie star list to actual stars.

Texture Tuesday

textured with today's freebie... Faved

I am linking up with Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.  I used her free texture Faved. I love the detail it added to this picture I shot of an Amish Farm in Lancaster, PA last January.  There was a layer of early morning fog rolling over the farm. It is was such joy to photograph and I love it even more now with this texture.

I also added texture to a picture I took over the weekend of an alpaca weather vane at my parents farm.
