March 21, 2012.  San Jose, California.  Yes, she has been able to sit up for some time now.  Her new trick is going from a lying down position into a sitting position all on her own.

Exploring California: Snapshot #517: Ed Levin County Park & Golf Course


March 15, 2012.  Milpitas, California.  Hazel and I did a little hiking with friends this afternoon at Ed Levin County Park on the opposite side of the valley from us.  This picture is to entice my in-laws into coming for a visit...yes, that IS a golf course nestled between the hills.

Exploring California: Snapshot #513: Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve








March 10, 2012.  Los Altos, California.  I was excited to learn that there are a number of Open Space Preserves not far from us.  Dave, Hazel, and I took a hike through Rancho San Antonio today.  Being a Saturday, parking was next to impossible; but after passing Deer Hollow Farm (about 1 mile in) the trails were less crowded and still stroller friendly.  We took the Wildcat Loop Trail up to a vista point with panoramic views of Silicon Valley and were not disappointed by the wildlife we spotted on the way back down.

Snapshot #512: Staycation Booklet Design


March 9, 2012.  San Jose, California.  All this week I have been working on a design for a Bay Area "Staycation" booklet that I'm creating for members of my local Relief Society.  After three or four drafts, this is what I have come up with.  Does it have, in your opinion, the most helpful information for planning an excursion?

Snapshot #511: Mountain View Stroller Hike


March 8, 2012.  Mountain View, California.  I met up with a small group of stroller-hikers this morning in Mountain View.  It's been incredibly beautiful outside the last couple days.   I'm trying to get outside more and more with Baby; organizations like Stroller Hikes are a big help.

Snapshot #510: Deer Hollow Farm


March 7, 2012.  Los Altos, California.  I walked with a friend this morning to Deer Hollow Farm through the San Antonio Open Space Preserve in Los Altos, California.  The preserve has beautiful hills with numerous trails.  I can't wait to return and go hiking.
