This morning, I’m thinking of our trips to the Russian River and relaxing in the cabin!

While my husband captures an image of our youngest daughter, our oldest throws in some bunny ears to elicit a smile.
Playing in the new car
Today, the girls and I started our day by blasting the radio and playing in the backseat of the new car. We’re squeezing in fun where we can as summer break comes to an end.
Redwood Sorrell
A patch of bright light illuminated the redwood sorrell during our morning walk through Armstrong Woods (Guerneville, California).
From an evening walk
On an evening walk, I turned the corner to find these daisies in gorgeous evening light.
The Golden Gate Bridge at sunset
On the scenic way home, I caught the sun setting behind the Golden Gate Bridge.
Girl Power
WIth their cousin’s Superman-themed birthday party coming up tomorrow, the girls and I have had a lot of conversations about Superman’s story, his strength, and powers. While it has been great to explore the amazing powers of Superman as well as Spiderman, and the Incredible Hulk, I found a few things lacking in our conversations: female super heroes and girl power.
So, this morning, I changed things up a bit and started telling the story of the female super hero that I know best: Wonder Woman. Growing up, I LOVED her and created my own super hero adventures, spinning around in my room, and transforming into Wonder Woman just in time to save the day. While pretending to be Wonder Woman, I was powerful and unstoppable.
I felt that the girls and I could all use a dose of Wonder Woman today; thanks to YouTube, we were able to watch scenes from a few episodes of the 1970s television show; it was inspiring to see another strong female (even as a fictional character) and now they’re hooked!
Today, we chose to demonstrate our strength and athleticism, we played and ran with determination, and celebrated our own power.
Today, was about girl power!

Favorite Photo Friday: Bocce Ball
Recently, I was fortunate to discover a group of old friends playing bocce ball in the park. They have been playing together for years, and truly enjoy the game and each other’s company.
I sat back and enjoyed their friendship and laughter.
