Photo Shoot

One of the pros of having Shannon come visit us was taking advantage of her photography skills. Here are some of the results of that - minus the best ones that I'll post later in all their photo-shopped glory!

We started off at the Mendocino Headlands in "the dating place", but it was too windy and the lighting wasn't that great.

After eating our picnic dinner, we thought we'd cruise around Mendocino and look for some alternate locations. We had the brilliant idea to swing by the inn of some friends and ask if we could use their garden.
The Headlands Inn is their Bed and Breakfast and it is so cute!
Thanks, Mitch and Denise, for letting us use your beautiful garden! The light was much better there, we had a fun time, and the cookies were yummy!

After all of that, we took a walk down to Big River Beach and played.
Shannon shot some more candid photos of the kids and we enjoyed the evening sun.
A great finish to a beautiful day!
