My girlfriends make the best picnics, which are fantastic for Bay Area hikes. We met up on Monday to check out Baltimore Canyon, a lovely short hike in the beautiful redwoods of Larkspur in Marin. It’s days like these that remind you why people love to live here!

Our picnic included tofu spring rolls, hummus sandwiches, beet and arugula salad, Asian tofu salad,  blackberries, bananas, and tasty vegan cookies. Yum!

My girls

Stella and Charli have grown and changed so much since the last time I saw them. Charli is walking and starting to talk, and Stella just learned to walk a couple weeks ago. It was a challenge keeping both kids in their seats during lunch. Luckily they were easily distracted with chopstick drumming, patty cake and tickling each other. So cute!

Stella is a really good drummer. Charli would rather eat with her chopsticks.

Tickle tickle!

Baby hugs are too cute!
