We’re trying to keep our normal schedule of Frid

We’re trying to keep our normal schedule of Friday nature walks. We’re sticking to trails that are really close to our house and we try to go early to avoid as many people as possible. It’s crazy how busy our local trails have been...everyone needs out of the house and I’m glad people are getting outside with their families...can you sense a but coming? I’m going to keep my complaining to myself. The world has enough negativity in it so I’ll just be thankful for our close to home trails and that they are still open. .

In this time of mandatory I’m doing my best to say yes. Yes to dancing in the rain, yes to playing that video game together, yes to pushing the little one on the swings...again, yes to building a tower, yes to making slime. When the world is closed and saying no to so much, saying yes to these little things feels like such a win. What are you saying yes to, that you normally would have been too busy for? .

I’m so glad that places like this are so close to our house. We almost didn’t hike this trail...the parking lot was pretty full. But there wasn’t any people hanging around and we only got passed people on the trail a couple times and kept huge distances. These are challenging times, we are trying to do our best to keep us and others safe. It is totally legal to go hiking right now BUT be smart about it. We follow @calparks hiking guidelines plus, we are keeping the kids right by us while on trail. Be smart, stay safe, care for others. .

Day 3 or 30 of quarantine? I couldn’t tell you.

Day 3 or 30 of quarantine? I couldn’t tell you. How are you doing? How are you handling the stress? We’re over here playing in our backyard between rain storms and getting some house projects done and homeschooling and playing video games all while still in jammies. Just simple living and trying to not stress too much. .

Our county has a shelter in place order on it now.

Our county has a shelter in place order on it now. Which means stay home, basically. We were already doing that so not a huge shock to us. I’m glad they are cracking down on people being out, this is how we defeat this. I am also glad that our state leadership is encouraging people to still walk their dogs and walk trails and get outside safely (which means only local trail areas and no playgrounds) because being outside is good for our physical health and our mental health...being cooped up inside makes us all 🤪 .

Social distancing is hard. So I made a little some

If you suddenly find your life turned upside down

If you suddenly find your life turned upside down with work closing, school closing and basically everything closing, might I suggest taking the weekend to relax as much as you can. The new normal can start on Monday, (I’m working on some fun things for next week btw!), but take time to watch too much tv/movies, snuggle in cozy blankets, be with your family, play games, drink hot beverages, read a good book, sit in your backyard, only read a tiny bit of news, face time loved ones, text your friends try to make the best of this mandatory down time. .

Just a reminder, winter is a great time for tidepo

Just a reminder, winter is a great time for tidepooling! We get some crazy negative tides here in California and the crowds are less in colder months!
We just happened to catch this beach at a negative foot tide and it was so great. We saw so many anemones and starfish and crabs. Our favorite was a seal that was just floating in this little bay right in front of us, so cute!
To keep track of tides I recommend downloading an app...but you can just google it too. .
