Well it’s time to get caught up on a sizable inventory of photos from Winter fun, including making air-popped popcorn for our Friday night movie night, visiting San Francisco for a hike at Lands End park on the bluffs above the Golden Gate Bridge, enjoying our new West family tradition of weekly video conferences, going on a guided walking tour of a nearby elephant seal preserve, Valentine’s day, playing in the backyard, Juliet’s new bicycle, and the girls first indoor rock climbing experience at our local YMCA.

Summer brought its usual grab-bag of photos worth sharing. We’ve got pictures of hiking from Claire’s summer of 25-miles of hiking, plus Fathers Day gifts for me including a t-shirt Claire made, Juliet berry picking, Claire’s first baseball game, the usual shots from around the house, and even a video of Claire riding her tricycle round and round her playhouse. Click on the picture of me and the girls at a picnic at the Picchetti Winery for a slideshow.

Claire hiked 25 miles!

As a fun project for Claire, we set a goal of hiking 25 miles over the course of this summer. We did hikes everywhere from a few miles from our house at Lake Lagunita at Stanford, to Marin County’s Tennessee Valley, to the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve in the Santa Cruz Mountains, to various hikes in both Israel and Jordan. Claire kept a progress bar of her hikes, and each time she completed one throughout the summer got to fill in the bar with a color of her choice. Here it is!
