Things to Explore in Bay Area: Hidden Villa, Los Altos

Katli and I decided that we would be making use of the warm California weather to explore Bay Area this summer.

 

 Last weekend we went to explore Hidden Villa at Los Altos. It is a nonprofit organization nestled inside the beautiful Los Altos hills. There were chicken coop, pig barn, sheep/goat barn and cow shed. We took an educational class on Bees where the instructor who is a bee keeper taught the kids about bees, honey and beeswax. She taught them about their life cycle and Katli was excited and he mentioned that he was taught about lifecycle of a butterfly. Karli is 4.5 years old and he could relate eggs and larvae in a creature.

 

Hidden Villa has few trails where you can hike. We spend the day with a picnic lunch, playing in stream ( that had almost no water) but that gave me an opportunity to talk about water scarcity in California. He volunteered to feed the pigs some day old bread and pretzels. He walked up and down the small hill near the water stream.

 

Overall a great place to visit with your kids.
