Scot and I decided yesterday that we needed a mental health day. (This is an idea I lifted from my good friend Emily, and use in my own stressful life from time to time) We headed to Bodega Bay to spend a relaxing day outside with waves, and sand, and seagulls, and family.
We played and played and played ... Larkin had such a great time. The sweetest moments of my day always include Larkin and Scot.
This summer, in addition to our summer soundtrack, we made family shirts for our summer adventures. We went together and tye-dyed matching shirts for each of us ...
(Larkin was so bugged about having to hold still for a photo ... but she really did have a good time, I promise! )
It was a great day. We came home covered in sand and feeling refreshed and exhausted all at the same time.
I declare this mental health day a success!
Sounds like a lot of fun.. I wish I had a beach to go to!! LOL. I love the tye-dye t-shirts, that sounds like a fun little tradition!!
