I poop photos!

Alllllllllright. So I promise to never procrastinate again! Here's some pictures I promised to make up for the days I didn't post any. Feels good to take a photodump. yalllll better appreciate these because they took forev to resize + upload on to this thing! i'm not even going to attempt to put them in chronological order. but here are some memories nonetheless :) .......

***NOTE: there are a bunch of spaces in between the pictures cause i tried to group them into clusters. Also, hold down CTRL and click the picture at the same time if you want it to open in a new tab. i know it can get pretty darn annoying since the pictures don't open in a new window.***

from our impromptu night beach trip:

missing you crazy kids! the princesses and Sal

"you're a tigaaah! YOU'RE A TIGAH!"

i LOVE whales oh so much! i was so stoked when i saw this at the 2nd floor of the lib. i texted jon and it turns out he's the one who drew it, hahaha. but the text is written by unknown
