Eunice's mom, Terry, flew in to town to spend the week in San Mateo during Ryan's business trip to Germany. Before Ryan took off for Waldorf, we all went on a late Sunday afternoon hike in Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve, just a 20 minute drive from home.
This is the first time Spencer has had enough head control to face forward in the Baby Bjorn. He loved being able to look out at the trees and the sky. It's clear this boy is going to be a nature lover!

Great views over Half Moon Bay through the forest.

Ryan enjoys a mid-hike granola bar as he watches the late afternoon sun filtering through the trees.
The only downside to hiking at Purisima is that all the trails head straight down off of Skyline Drive, so every hike home is uphill - especially a challenge for Ryan with Spencer strapped to his front, and a daypack on his back.
Terry charges one switchback ahead and poses for us in front of the ferns.
Back up on Skyline, we stop to watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.
Going...
...Going...
...Gone. What a perfect end to a Sunday afternoon.
