Hiking in Sunol

We visited Kun and Alfonso's place in Sunol a week ago. Some of our friends were there too. There were total eight kids: Mecham, Samuel, Ludi, Luming, Ansel, Ben, Luca and Maya. Maya was the only girl and Luca was the youngest. We had potluck first, then we hiked in the mountain nearby. All the parents and the kids had a blast of time. We stayed until 5pm.

It was hot. Pappa carried Luca on his back. Luca loved the view and the wild flowers. He looked around (he had to wear Maya's pink hat to cover his near-bald head) and smiled all the way. He didn't fall asleep until we were almost home, which was two hours later. Maya went all the way up and down the mountain by herself. Some parts of the road were quite steep. She complained about being tired halfway but then she forgot about her complaint when she saw tadpoles and frogs in the pond near the top. :) Mama and Pappa were really proud of her. Actually she did even better a year ago when she was just slightly over two -- at that time she didn't complain at all and was running most of the time.

During this trip, Maya became very good friends with Samuel, who's a year older. They held hands, laughed and played together.  

Thanks to Kun, Alfonso, Mecham and Samuel for their hospitality. We'll surely visit them again.
