Hello Mommies and Daddies!
Happy holidays! The weather is brisk, our turkey is defrosting in
the fridge, and all of the trees on our block are changing colors and
dumping leaves. It's just about time for holiday lights, special
warm drinks, and plenty of socials with co-workers, family, and
friends. Hopefully you're not becoming too overwhelmed by it all!

Here are this week's events:

Monday, November 24th at 9:30 am let's hike at Fremont Older. We'll
hike Seven Springs Loop with a visit to Hunter's Point. Dogs welcome.
For more information about the area and directions, see Fremont Older
Page
(http://www.strollerhikes.com/Hikes/FremontOlder/FremontOlder.html).
Meet at the Prospect Road parking lot. Baby carriers suggested,
though a large-wheeled baby jogger works OK. Amy and Adelina will
lead this hike. Call Amy at (650)207-6556 if you're running late.

Tuesday, November 25th at 9 am Loren and little Angelo will lead a
mellow stroller jog around Almaden Lake and down Los Alamitos Trail.
Meet at the water dragon by the big playground near the bathrooms and
swimming beach in the main parking lot near the intersection of
Coleman Avenue and Almaden Expressway. Note that this is a different
parking lot for the lake than we often use to begin hikes. No dogs
allowed! Jogging strollers are best, but this is an entirely paved
trail, so smaller-wheeled strollers are also OK. Walkers always
welcome! For more information about the area or directions, see The
Los Alamitos Creek Trail Webpage
(http://www.strollerhikes.com/Hikes/LosAlamitos/LosAlamitos.html). If
you're running late, call Loren at 831-227-6737.

Wednesday, November 26th at 10 am we'll hike at Rancho San Antonio in
Cupertino/Los Altos Hills. Depending on the needs of the group, we'll
do an almost entirely paved, flat path, or a hilly dirt path, both
going to the farm, and possibly going past it. Meet at the upper
parking lot where model airplanes are flown (just past the entrance,
turn right, then left into the first parking area uphill from the
lower two). For more information or directions, see the Rancho San
Antonio Page
(http://www.strollerhikes.com/Hikes/RanchoSanAntonio/ranchoSanAntonio.html).
Sorry, dogs not allowed. This hike is at least half shaded.
Kristen and little Lillian will lead this hike; call Kristen at (408)
410-7200 if you're running late.

Thursday, November 27th at 9:30 am we'll hike or jog at Palo Alto
Baylands. Pace of the event will depend on the needs of the group.
Meet by the duck pond, then join us for the San Francisquito Creek
Trail. Bring your binoculars for excellent bird watching. Also
great small airplane watching from here, as the local airport is
right next door. All strollers will work, but larger wheels make it
less bumpy on this fire road. For directions to the park or more
information about the trail, see the Palo Alto Baylands Page
(http://www.strollerhikes.com/Hikes/PABaylands/PABaylands.html).
Dogs and the whole family are welcome. The event will last less than
an hour and a half; you should have enough time to attend, then get
home and put the turkey in the oven for Thanksgiving Dinner. Debbie
and Max will lead this hike. Call Debbie at (650)776-1082 if you're
running late.

Enjoy the season!

-Debbie and little Max
