As the days were becoming longer and trails were opening up, the kids and I started going for hikes after school was out. This particular hike is in Shirley Canyon, in Squaw Valley, very close to Stephen and Avian’s school. I took Avian and her friend Amber. We covered about 3.5 miles, an out and back (or up and down rather), with many breaks to check out the creek and waterfalls.

Afterwards, we went to Fireside Pizza in the village.
