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....

I'm livin' in a house of love

So today I would like to share a little project I did a couple of days back... I am in love with love...:)..n I love taking photographs..So this project is the combination of two.. So for starters here's one more strip from love is .. series... We have a very narrow gallery wall in front our coat closet. Earlier I wanted to put some frames of our favorite photographs. But with only the frames, the wall looked a little empty. so I came up with the idea of adding something extra. I saw something similar on a blog  n wanted to make one for our home..Here's what I did.. 1. So I started with old newspaper,tissue papers, old printouts, catalogues, magazines, coupon booklet..anything that u fancy works...lotsa them...n a pair of scissors, some glue , threads..cut lotsa hearts the little ones, big ones, skinny ones, fat ones.. 2. Cut them free hand..drawing them takes more time and also its more fun cutting them free hand.. 3. I like...

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...
