Birthday Weekend: the Big 21

I went home for my birthday this year. It was weird, because I haven't seen autumn in 3 years. We went apple picking, saw a show in the city, went up to lake Geneva, had a family birthday party, went out on my birthday, went to church, saw my LA cousins and uncle, and went to my other cousin's wedding reception. I kept pretty busy.

This is me and my sister with our cake. Her birthday's a week before mine and she happened to be visiting as well so we had a joint party. That's my nephew next to us... I'm not sure what he's doing in the picture.

That's my nephew, Noah, again. He's making me a card that I accidentally left at home. I don't remember why, but the card was hilarious... it wasn't supposed to be. Look how intense he looks while making it.

That's me and my mom, posing in the city.

That's me posing, model-like, in the city. haha.

This is me and the Akemann guys that were at my b-day party, minus my bro. Yeah... I feel like I stand out a little bit in this, you know?

These are my cousins on my birthday night. Julie's on the right. I'm not sure what Ted is doing, or why he's not looking at the camera. Matt's taking the picture.

Why is this in here? I don't know.

I think I had a compulsion to take pictures of ponds while back at home. I thought the lighting and the layers of leaves were cool in this, though.

I think this picture's awesome. This is at Lake Geneva. It's not even a good picture, I just think it's cool that I took it. (if you look closely at the trees in the back, you can see that they're changing color)

Here's a cool picture of a vine eating a tree back at home. My mom was all distressed when she saw this because this tree is right behind our house. I think it's cool looking.
