Rancho San Antonio

We had a lot of fun going to Rancho San Antonio which is a park near my parent's house, with trails to hike and lots of neat things to see, including animals.  My dad, two sisters, Drew, me and our boys all went to walk some of the trails and enjoy being out of the house together.  We got lucky and got to see lots of deer, squirrels (although that isn't really anything special near my parents), quail, pigs, sheep, goats, horses and cows.  Alden thought it was really neat to see all the animals and spend time with his family.

Alden also took advantage of the fact that there were multiple people there who could carry him and he switched around so that he got carried for a significant portion of our walk.  We had a lot of fun and I was really glad we took the time to go out and enjoy some different scenery while we were in California.

 These were a couple of the squirrels running around.

 These were the deer that we saw just standing around in a meadow that we walked by.

 Then Alden switched over and had Aunt Katrina carry him.

 There is a farm that you can walk to at Rancho San Antonio and that is where we took Alden.  He thought it was really neat getting to see the goats, sheep and other animals there.

 Alden had fun watching the goats run around and play.

 We were trying to get Alden to dance on the stage, but he wouldn't do it, so Grandpa did a little jig for us instead!

 At this point Alden was getting tired so he got back on Katrina's back...

 Then Daddy's shoulders.

 I think Alden also liked that he could see the goats and sheep better from Daddy's shoulders.

 These were the quail that we saw at the end of our walk.  Alden thought they were pretty neat.

 Anders had napped most of the walk but woke up near the end.

 My beautiful sisters and adorable baby boy!

Alden was still watching the quail at this point and trying to tell Anders about them, however, Anders was more interested in the people.
