Our First Hike of the Year!!!

Heyi you all...
How have u been???
I had a tiring weekend..fun but tiring..cycling, hiking, walking, gyming...now my muscles are sore to core.I now have muscles which I didn't knew existed n they hurt..badly..:P
The weather have been gorgeous for past few days n Seattleites made best of it...
We went to Teneriffe Falls formerly known as Kamikaze Falls. Its a 6 miles round trip moderate hike. It would have been an easy hike if not for the new unfinished part of hike at the end. Its as rocky as it can be :)
The first 2 miles of hike is well paved and is an easy walk.

Its the second leg of hike the last 1 mile which is tough. It says 1 mile from the intersection marked "Teneriffe Falls" but it sure feels more..;).. Bring along your hiking boots for this last leg or you'll sure feel each n every rock/stone on way..:)

The views of valley below are beautiful so is the fall.

A quick bite at top of falls(there isn't any space to stay) and we hiked back.

While everyone was taking in the views of valley I walked alone and found myself lost...

I question my brain on how I got lost on such a trail but I really got shit scared..:P..

If you see this tree below on your hike, you are on the old bootleg trail. So trace your steps back and go back. Thats what I did. And if you find pink(yes pink :P) sunglasses there send me a howler..:)

Getting back to civilization made me realize How much of a city gurl I am..

All in all it was a fun hike which left me questioning my fitness..need to work out big time to build up my stamina.
So what did you do??
Lemme know..

My Little Pony - Day spent at Farrel McWhirter Farm

All those who know our kiddo, knows how crazy he's about HORSES!!! So in spirit of fueling his imagination I enrolled him in My Little Pony Class held by Redmond Parks and Recreation. The class was held at Farrel McWhirter Farm. You can enroll for the class through their website http://www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation and http://www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation/farrel-mcwhirter_farm_park_programs/ Our class was scheduled for 9.30 am and we got there much earlier. It helped the Cowboy to get settled in and check out the animals. He came all dressed up in a cowboy hat(from his halloween costume). There were cows, pigs, bunnies, sheep, chickens n new little goat babies :)... This was our pony....aaaa..I forgot her name...:| There were only two kids in the class. They were first told about horses and the brushes n tools used to keep them clean. They were then fitted with hel

Making Ghee (Clarified Butter) - From Butter

Indian Cuisine use Ghee in nearly every dish from savory Pulao/Biryanis to sweet Mithayis. Traditionally in India Ghee is made from Cow's milk. Ghee has always been a sacred and celebrated symbol of auspiciousness, nourishment and healing; especially in the daily rituals of cooking and worship. It is thought of free from all impurities, milk residues(Lactose free), and moisture(high shelf life). My mum makes Ghee from full cream that she carefully stores for days. But here in US we don't cream when we heat the milk . So now I make Ghee at home from Unsalted butter which is quick and easy. I get unsalted butter from Costco...no one can beat Costco for their prices n quality. Ghee is clarified butter. and there is some difference between the two. Here's the process I use the make Ghee. 1. Get Unsalted Butter bricks. Use as many sticks you want to use at one time. I usually use 8- 12 sticks at one time

Yosemite Shuffle

"You guys went hiking??"A guy asked us just when we leaving a restaurant. "Yes!!!" We said. "We call that Yosemite shuffle :)". He said laughing at us. Yosemite Shuffle " is what happens to you after you have hiked in Yosemite..You'll understand it once you have done it.. So we went to Yosemite this long weekend... n we hiked...n hiked..n hiked... We were there for 3 days in Yosemite. We did Panaroma Trail the first day.. Hiking Map(From Glacier Point to Happy Isles) If you are in Yosemite I would highly recommend doing this hike..Worth every scrape, blister, soreness. Even if you end up walking like a zombie,dragging ur feet for next week and half, go for it..!Thats the "Yosemite Shuffle" that guy was talking about..:D..I am a hiking newbie..I like small hikes, on flat surfaces..so this was a big step for me...really a big deal..:).. Do you see those 3 falls ~ the one on right, the left and in center, we crossed them al
