7 Things I Love About Fall

Spooky

click on image to enlarge
The moment one enters Six Flags Great Adventure, one is taken aback by the ghoulish sight of skeletons, bones, coffins and blood-spewing water fountain. There are skeletons hanging onto stones, hanging on to fences, some still wearing clothes and some digging their way out of graves.

As the day wears on, the park becomes frightful. The mist and smoke envelop some areas, especially the water fountain by the Main Street; and zombies rise to walk among the living. We heard a loud sound, something scraping the ground...because there was mist all over, we couldn’t see who was making the noise. As the mist wore off, we saw it. It was a blodied zombie dragging a shovel. Boy, were the kids scared! I immediately took them home. Luckily, they didn’t have nightmares that night.

Atlantic City Beach

This was our first time going to the beach this year. The kids had so much fun playing in the sand and frolicking in the water...can you guess what I was doing? Yes, I was taking pictures and admiring the view.

If you need a kit to scrap your water, pool or beach pictures, may I suggest you look at this one. And check out the alpha too....it is fab.
