Bubbles … horsies … choo-choo trains … and a big surprise.

We take so many of our experiences for granted. As time passes, even those things you once considered incredible become a part of the ho-hum

But not for my soon-to-be-three son, Bodhi.

That kid lives life to the fullest – taking every moment in with awe, wonder, curiosity, and joy. He also is a beautiful reminder to take a step back and appreciate the amazingness of everything around us.

Since 2018 was all about family, who better to narrate my annual “year in photos” post than Bodhi Bear himself.

Sunset at our house

There are stables that we can walk to and feed carrots to the horses.

I'm surrounded by redwoods

Hi starfish!

View from my backyard

Dada pulled the car over and took this one day

I stepped in that pond. In my shoes. It was my favorite.

I love the lighthouse

Train tracks are fun to walk on

We went camping here with all my friends

I try to go to Henry Cowell as much as possible. They have a steam train. CHOO CHOO!!!

Dada always gets a pretzel here

I love the log ride at the Boardwalk

I can climb the gate and open it for you, dada

Dada loves this bridge

I went camping near River Junction

We watched the sun set over Seeley Lake and the mountains beyond.
