Briones Regional Park Hike

Thankfully I have a wonderful neighbor who is a whiz with her camera and knows a thing or two about photos, editing, and exporting photos...thank you SO much Candice! Click out her name and go check out her work, she is fabulous and I think I owe her a bottle of wine ;)
So with her help I have figured out how to upload photos AND how to play around with Adobe LightRoom 3!!

So two weekends ago we went on the Pack Hike at Briones Regional Park, J had ridden his motorcycle in the area before, but it was new territory for the rest of us. It had rained two days the week before so we were expecting a sloppy mess, and it was slimy and messy in some spots, but overall it was a great day to be outside and our shoes weren't a total disaster by the end of the day.



I L.O.V.E. this picture of M


N started off on his own, but 4.5 miles with climbing over 1000 ft above sea level got to be a little tiring after awhile for those little legs of his. J ended up putting him on his shoulders for the first time ever, N was super scared at first...but now he requests it just walking around the house ;)




There were cows all over this park grazing and enjoying the new green grass that sprouted from the earlier showers in the week...they weren't afraid of people at all.


J enjoyed the hike and had a good time chatting with one of his buddies the entire hike.




The view from the trail, overlooking the Walnut Creek area.


After the hike we turned the van towards Berkley on another road J had explored with his motorcycle. We ended up on the other side of the peak and had a great view of the bay, Berkley, and even could see the Golden Gate Bridge.


Before heading back to the city we found a Steam Train to take the boys on...M may have said he was too old for this part of the day...but he was rewarded with supper at p.f. Changs so I don't think he will complain about having to take a ride.
