A Spring Picnic In the Park

For the past few days there has been a serious chill in the air and today was the first day that it was perfect out. Luckily, there was a new music event that our city was hosting in the park downtown. Alex & I thought it would be a great idea to bring my sister's dog, Molly with us and have a picnic.

Another Day, Another Picnic

Alex & I are really enjoying the cooler weather here, mainly because we are able to go on picnics on our days off. It's so nice to explore with him by my side. Today we went to Circle B Bar Reserve, had a picnic and walked on the trail for almost two hours.

We came across different birds, racoons and adorable squirrels. If you know anything about me, I love small woodland creatures. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's why I have a rabbit as a pet. Anyways, today was perfect. The temperature was a lovely 68 degrees, windy with just the right amount of sun.

We spent some of our adventure taking little videos that I compiled into a two minute long video. Which I'm really excited about because it truly captures how amazing this day was. If you'd like to see it, I've placed it down below.

I'm really glad that Alex's mom gave us a wicker picnic basket last night, because that means that we can go on even more picnics together - which we have both decided that it is now "our thing". I can't wait until the next one!

A Fall Picnic & Feeling Like Snow White

On Monday Alex & I went on a spur of the moment picnic. The second we arrived, we were greeted by several raccoons feasting on bread. Being who I am, I walked towards them, picked up a slice of bread from the ground and held it out towards one particularly curious raccoon that we affectionately named Chauncey. You guys, I seriously felt like Snow White amongst all those furry little bandits. Afterwards we snacked on our homemade turkey sandwiches and stuffed our faces with salty potato chips. We spent the rest of the afternoon walking the trails and talking. It truly was a lovely Fall afternoon spent outdoors.

Be sure to check out my Instagram for another photo of Chauncey, plus an adorable video of him eating a slice of bread.
