Hiking! (and canoeing)

We just don't do it enough...but when we do, we remember how much we like it. Last weekend we drove up Skyline in Palo Alto... and went on one of our favorite hikes. Steve has the "journey" down where he gets the kids excited to get to the "hawk canyon," "enchanted forest," and "rocky tree." All in all, it's 3 miles of a lot of different vegetation which makes it more interesting for them- and then ends up overlooking silicon valley. We could see up to San Francisco- it is so peaceful to sit up there in the grass... love it!

 Cool tunnel.

 My cute EMMMM.

 Lots of love.

 Unfortunately, whenver I say "cheese," so does Emi... which becomes this funny face because she is saying cheese. Maybe next time I'll say Smile!!

 Mmm. Maybe this is where they got poison oak?! arh! Steve got it on his leg... and we think Emi got it on her face...
Watch out- it's the season!!

Aftwards we went canoeing at Shoreline- which was packed, but fun :) It's also super nice when you have a very strong man in back doing all the work!
