timmy wimmy lake

As promised here are some photos from the little day trip we took to Timothy Lake. Timmy Lake is located about an hour and a half outside of Portland. Our little day trip was probably one of the better days I have had in a while. It was nice to get out of the city, put the cell phone away, do a different form of exercise as opposed to going to the gym, and just enjoy being outside in the nice weather.  I am trying to hold on to summer as long as possible, because I know the rain will be here before we know it and I am just not ready for rain. 

Timothy Lake has multiple campgrounds along the water and it made me super nostalgic. Growing up my parents took us camping a lot. Probably close to every other weekend during the summer, so seeing all these people camping made me missing being little and eating s'mores.  It also made me want to just join in and nap in their tents...because that's not weird or anything. 

The trail head supposedly goes around the entire lake and is about 13 miles round trip. 

What up Mount Hood!!? You so pritay, like model or cheerleeda. 

Although we somehow got on another trail part way through and ended up at a historic Ranger Station about a mile and a half away from the water, so we might of had to backtrack and didn't make it all the way around the lake. 

Still managed to hike at least 8 miles though! 

And got to play in the water :) 

Model status. 

Insert random yoga pose, that I never actually do other than for picture time.

Note to self, make sure your sammies are wrapped in more than just that brown paper before you put them into an ice chest. Note to self number 2: the bread will get soggy once said ice begins to melt in the ice chest if the sammie is not properly wrapped. 

We still went ham on them anyway. 

If you guys were smart, which I all know you are because you're following my blog and that is a smart life decision, take my advice get out and enjoy your surroundings before summer is over!!! 

Cheers!

PS................HOW PRETTY IS MY NEW DESIGN?!! My blogger buddie Kailyn Marie did it up for me. We're pretty much twinning right now with our designs and we don't hate it. You should hit her up if you are in the market. Here is her design info.  

Oh Monday...

Another summer weekend in the books and I am just glad that Monday posts are so easy, because I am not ready for the week yet.....which I guess is a good thing. A PacNorthWest girl has to get her fun in before the rain comes.

My weekend started off with unicorns and glitter a bang when I found this awesome birthday card in the mail from my new blog bestie, Kailyn Marie, along with free coops to Jamba. You know I went and used them right away.

Friday was topped off with Sour beer, yummy food, and darts at the RacCoon Lodge, which is in walking distance to our house.  Speaking of, Brad and I had our first major argument over the weekend and it might of had to do with sense of direction as to where this place was located in reference to our apartment.  No joke, we were still arguing about it Sunday night in bed. Diagrams were drawn, name calling was done, and there was lots of pointing into the correction direction. Obviously, I am right, but he won't submit. 

We spent our Saturday night at the Timbers game per usual after we helped my aunt paint my grandparent's front porch. It looks pretty awesome. Oh, and check out my new face.

Sunday, Brad and I took a little day trip to Timothy Lake and it was needed.  We got out of the city and enjoyed the lake and some hiking. The weather was perfect, the lake felt awesome, and the hiking was great!

We took a cute photo, even though we were still arguing about who's directions were right.

I took my big girl camera too, so I'll be sure to share more photos when I stop being lazy and put them up on my computer. 

How were your shenannies?!
