Yesterday, Jay and I took the kids to Del Valle, which here in Livermore and perhaps the East Bay, is pronounced "del val." And it bothers me horribly. I refuse to pronounce it this way after being harshly criticized for pronouncing "La Jolla" and "Via de la Valle" incorrectly when we first moved to San Diego.
Regardless, it was not our first hike with kids, but our first at Del Valle and our first with BOTH of us carrying a kid, unless you count when I was 8 months pregnant with Lily! ;)
It was a gorgeous day, and reaching the top was lovely. I can see us forfeiting naps for the day, packing a picnic, and spending a long morning/afternoon there. Charlie did well, walking a bit, and riding a bit, but was disappointed not to see cows up close and personal. (We ran into another man who said his dog was chased by two of them after getting too close.)
At the top!
Charlie was lucky enough to get to ride the "tractor" that was in the parking lot after our hike!
