Biking IBM SVL to Morgan Hill

We biked from the IBM SVL parking lot to Coyote Creek Trail and headed down to MOD Pizza in Morgan Hill. The weather was gorgeous, sunny and warm, although several of us had allergies. This was Little J's first long bike ride on his new 12" pedal bike (no more balance bike and no training wheels).  He biked 3.5 miles in the morning. Hubby pushed Little J for a short distance going up a slope, but Little J didn't want his Daddy pushing him. He wanted to bike by himself, haha. This was also LJ's first ride with our group. Think he'll need to wear padded bike shorts next time :)

After eating lunch at MOD Pizza, we biked up a short steep climb to Anderson Dam.  I was towing Little J on his bike and barely made it up the steep climb. Oldest J and Middle J zig zagged up. The view at the top was nice. After Anderson Dam we took a short break at the Anderson Lake Visitor Center, where I unhooked Little J's bike so that he could bike on his own. He biked another 2 miles to the Santa Clara County Model Aircraft Skypark. There were two elderly gentlemen with their RC planes, and one of them flew his Spitfire plane. The boys were excited to watch the gentleman expertly fly the plane in loops and corkscrews.  They were even more excited to play with DK's RC cars. 

After snacking, we left the Skypark, and Little J was too tired to bike more. He completely collapsed in the baby seat and was sleeping in no time.
