Weekending

I had such a nice three day weekend. It involved the coast and the mountains and a whole lot of fresh air. I can't complain much when being graced with weather in the low seventies and blue skies for miles around. We have rain coming later this week which is perfect since we will be headed toward the snow! One of the millions of things I love about Northern California, the ability to get to different climates quite easily.

On Saturday we headed to the hills to stretch our legs after driving around. I was on the hunt for wildflowers and David was so kindly trying to find me some.
Saturday night I had fun putting together a little Valentine's basket for P. I swiped our fruit basket from the kitchen and filled it with an Anna doll, Frozen sound book, Bubble Guppy Valentine book and Molly from Bubble Guppies (sense a theme here?) I think she liked the ribbon and tissue paper best  - go figure.
Sunday was Valentines - as you all know haha. We headed through Silicon Valley and wound up near the coast. Not before passing so many gorgeous fields FULL of yellow wild flowers. Too bad it was all private property/no trespassing signs everywhere. I couldn't get near as close as I wanted to!
I really need to work on putting myself in front of the camera. But this last shot - oh it may just be one of my favorites. I love how their feet are mirroring one another and the reflection in the water. P loved the ocean and would run towards the waves with zero fear and would giggle like crazy when they almost got her. Which they totally would have had we not been right behind her. That girl is going to give me a heart attack!

Monday we both got into our ripped denim - I matched this girl down to a t. Yet again to set off on a finding wildflowers mission (and fly a kite) so we decided to head up our local mountain, the same one where we got married <3 It was such a gorgeous, clear day you could see all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. If you look hard in the second photo you can see it in the middle. Dang it I didn't have my zoom lens on me! #primeproblems
That was one long post for one long weekend! Hope yours was a good one!

  4. So many beautiful photos! Liam loves flying kites, yet we don't do it nearly often enough. And I too need to get in front of the camera more. Since Liam loves using my big camera, I'm getting better about making it happen more.
