Friday night, we all trooped over to Stanford for the Early Music Singers concert -- I got to sing, Chad listened, and Nimue fell asleep. Given that there was going to be birthday cake for the director, Nim rallied enough for us to go to the party afterward. The program this time was sort of jolly -- we did a set of Monteverdi Vespers, in combination with The Whole Noyse, a Renaissance band.
Saturday brought Chad's turn to get out on a long bike ride; he sped through my loop from the previous week while Nimue and I took a bike excursion to Mountain View. Nim rode 10 miles on her own bike!
Sunday was family outing day. We headed out to Joseph D. Grant county park on the slopes of Mt. Hamilton, and hiked until all of our legs were sore. (It took about 7 miles and 1700 feet of climbing.)
Highlights included panoramic views of the Santa Clara Valley, wildflowers, warm weather, and cows at play. That last was oddly entertaining, as we kept wondering what the bellowing ruckus was around the corner at one point, until we came within view of a herd of mixed-age bovines of both sexes. There were a couple of bulls busy pawing the ground and bellowing at each other, while the calves on the other side of the lake practiced butting heads and the females continued to graze unperturbed by it all. Nimue, like her Grampa, likes cows.
