Social Bubble Hiking

For July, I joined the step challenge initiated at work and was averaging over 20k steps everyday. I discovered the hiking trails that are easily accessible around the area. With some safety measuer, we started family hiking as our social bubble event. So far, we still feel more comfortable only interact with family members.
This is the Las Trampas trail that we have become very familiar with. After a steep climb, the trail presents awesome view through its ridge trails.

Max and I found some time to fix his uniform by removing the Cub Scouts Den number and sewing on the Scout Rank. With some nudge, he earned his Scout rank smoothly after joining the troop 805.

This time we took Max with us on the Las Trampas hike, with mom waiting in the car.

This is the third hike at Las Trampas. We went on a hiking trail but got side tracked. We ended up climbing this hill to get our bearing right.

This is our standard gear for hiking these days. Even though I don't think the mask makes much difference in outdoor and with enough space for social distancing, it seems to be a good idea to wear it and keep everyone comfortable. Plus, from time to time, you do need to cross each other on narrow trails.

This is the Tasajara Ridge trail that I have discovered. It is really cool that within half an hour, you can walk into an area like this.

Max does not realy look forward to hiking. But whenever we get him out, he is always in good spirit.

As a family, we came to this trail several times after dinner. It is great to watch the moon and the sunset from here.

Lastly, we took this picture and put it next to the one from the year when Renee was born.
