Balboa, Bananas, and Bad Moods


Last week, we went to balboa for frozen bananas.

I was in a really crabby mood (which shows in the first picture below), but the combination of chocolate, rainbow sprinkles, sunshine, sparkling water, a walk, and a very brave pelican snapped me out of it by the time we got back in the car. Sometimes I need to just get over myself and look at the world around me. It does wonders.

    I love the picture of Levi and the pelican! It does indeed need a frame!

  4. If I could have a frozen banana whenever I was in a bad mood, I'd have a lot of intentional bad moods! :-P

  6. these pictures are so cute Jasmine, and I especially love the picture of the little girl. Also, I think I've tried one of those frozen bananas before at the westfield mall near our place. If it's the same company then it was SOOO good.
