coyote hills, aroooo!
Mommy, Daddy and I hiked today at coyote hills-- boy, was it beyoooootiful?!
And, today is Daddy's birthday!!!!!!!!! He's THIRTY years old and a fine lookin' gentleman I must say.
Today is half way through and we're not even done. I wanted to share some pictures before we hit the road to either SF or Palo Alto to celebrate Daddy's birthday.
Coyote hills is also one of my Grandpa West's favorite hiking spot. They, the greedy government, have been wanting to plow the sanctuary and turn it into homes. I think it has been petitioned to be left alone but for a guarantee, that remains to be the question-- you know how the government works.
Alright, pictures time, be sure to check out the last cool picture taken by Dad.
Here's me with Momma, look behind us, pretty huh? We even walked across that woody bridge before finalizing our trek. We walked all morning long up and down 4 hills- Dad carried me most of the time and I walked some too.
Despite the beauty of nature, it was right by the bay so, there were airplanes and helicopters. I was telling Dad that a helicopter was right there and he was asking where. It was really cool to see a REAL helicopter that made loud noises unlike the fakies I have.
Family picture on top one of the peaks. It was windy but warm.
I trekked a wee bit and kept seeing bugs, butterflies, birds and some kind of animals that burrowed underground. No coyotes though.
Bugs!! More bugs!
Daddy carryin' me- pretty good for a big 3-0 eh?
Walking down after the 3rd and highest peak. We saw the entire Bay Area and saw three bridges as well as marshes, ponds, creek... cars too (planes and helicopters of course).
We sat on an unmarked trail and they let me walk until I was too tired to stand up any longer. I'm laughing because Daddy was being silly behind Mom.
Okay Mommy, I'm tired carry me now.
I kept tickling Mom from behind because her neck was right there. She kept laughing and tickled me right back! It was a fun game that I invented all by myself.
Here's the "last cool picture"--
Have a fabulous Friday the 13th! Mwah Mwah Mwab Mwag (for you Aunty Cat).
