Hanging Out with Yew

Our good friends, Patrick and Christina and their kids, Nathan and Amanda came up to visit during Spring Break. Patrick and Matthew go way back like when they were little kids.
See blog post: Are Yew a TWiT?

Patrick was our Best Man in our wedding.

And I, in turn, helped out in his wedding to Christina.

They are faithful readers of this blog and when asked 'What do you want to do when you get here?" Christina replied, 'How about checking out your fields trips like to a Mission (since Nathan will be studying them next year) and see some of Emily's birds?"

What a conscientious reader! Someone actually remembered what I wrote about! I was thrilled!

So we went to visit Mission San Jose which was a few miles away from us.

It's a tiny mission compared to the other ones. You can check out my post here: Mission San Jose

The door ways were way too low or the kids are getting too tall.

Then we proceeded to check out Coyote Hills Regional Park. The kids wanted to climb up this super high hill. And boy was it steep.. for me! My thighs were so sore the next morning.

That's how high up we were.. at least the kids were. I tried to stay on lower ground.

Nathan proceeded to venture further to climb onto a higher rock. His father said he would never try it because he was afraid of heights.

But lo and behold, there he was... we saw a little red shirted person standing on top of this very high rocky hill from afar.

No fear has he! BOYS!

After climbing down from a mountain, they proceeded to climb up a tree!

KIDS!

Patrick & Christina, Hope you all had a great time! Thanks so much for visiting!
