Of all the ways to kick off a weekend morning, I think a morning hike may be my all-time favorite. Before bed last night, Ryan and I discussed taking Sadie out to Weikwa Springs to hike our favorite nature trail if the weather was right.
We awoke to the sun shining brightly through our bedroom window and to Weikwa we went!
Before leaving, I had a quick breakfast of Chobani 2% Greek yogurt, topped with a handful of cereal.
I usually buy the 0% Chobani (fat free) because my grocery store doesn’t supply the 2%, but I may have to scout out the 2% variety at other stores. I am a sucker for thick and creamy yogurt, and this definitely fit the bill. I bet it would be a phenomenal base in my yogurt mousse!
After a 20 minute drive, we arrived at Weikwa Springs ready to tackle our favorite trail, the orange blaze! Sadie was amped!
Before embarking on our hike, we had to take our typical hiking family photo! Other hiking family photos:
Then we were off!
Sadie led the way in her way-too-big Santa Paws’ Little Yelper t-shirt. Can you see her? She’s the teeny red dot of a dog. 😀
We had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and posing seriously important questions like “If Sadie were one of the seven dwarfs, which one would she be?”
Dopey, definitely.
Or maybe Happy. (It’s puppy Sadie! 🙂 )
We then spent a good 10 minutes trying to remember the name of the Debbie Downer dwarf.
Grouchy? (My guess.)
Grumbles? (Ryan’s guess.)
Grumpy! YES!
We trucked along the orange blaze trail loop for five miles, eventually returning to the trail head.
As we hopped into Ryan’s car to head home, we had Starbucks on the brain.
Fortunately we drove past a Starbucks within 5 minutes of leaving the state park, and stopped in for his and hers Frappuccinos… mocha light for me and chai for Ryan.
I placed my order first and when the barista asked Ryan if he would like his Frappuccino “light” as well, he replied, “No thanks. Extra fat, please.”
I think she delivered because he got loads of whipped cream which he let me share. 🙂 Whipped cream is my home boy.
We just arrived back at our apartment and have some chores and errands on our to-do list for today. I’m also hoping to make a fun dinner tonight but have no real clue what I’m feelin’ just yet.
Only time will tell!
