We went on a wonderful little hike through the hills in something called Stadium Park (look at those amazing trees in the picture!) and the girls did fabulously. 
A few months ago, a certain now-3-year-old had a harder time keeping up with her sisters and often asked to be carried on hikes or walks. Today, she was awesome with her short little legs pumping furiously to keep up and nary a complaint to be found. This gives us great hope to be able to tackle bigger and better challenges in the coming months! Very exciting. 
The girls got rewarded for the positive little hike with lots of playground time at the lovely Atascadero Lake Park, which we were pleased to find has one of the nicer sets of playground equipment around. We had happy, happy little girls. 
Oh! Kristi introduced us to her piglet-raising neighbor, who was sweet enough to let the girls pet her baby pigs today. The folks had two litters of piglets; one litter only a few days old and orphaned and the other litter a bit older and still with their mama. The girls sure enjoyed the cute, greedy little babies and quickly found one worthy of the name “Wilbur,” as in the Charlotte’s Web star. Sunshine, hiking, play time, and farm animals = a great day!

Those scenes--minus the piglets--is what I miss most about the Central Coast. Be careful...you might fall in love with it and never want to go. :)
Looking forward to seein' you soon!
Oh, dear Katie, I’m quite fond of this place already! I will heed your warning. :)
