Fall hike and Berry Me Frozen Yogurt

Our hike last night went much better than the last one we went on at the same location a couple of months ago.





The fall colors were beautiful, of course.







Our mission was to find a bench with a plaque honoring the memory of Craig's Uncle Leonard, who died of cancer two years ago.

We found it and honored his love of nature by walking in one of his favorite places, which is also one of our favorite hikes to go on. I liked the quote on it, "The beauty of nature surrounds us and reminds us of your love."





With the weather being so beautiful, I didn't go to the gym all week. It felt good to exercise outside every day instead and I know that once winter hits, I will miss being able to do things outdoors.

This morning, we biked around our neighborhood and whenever we bike, I catch myself smiling from ear to ear. I love biking with Craig and I enjoy doing it in general. So much better than biking at the gym staring at a wall, magazine, or the TV!

We decided to use our groupon for Berry Me Frozen Yogurt on the east side of Milwaukee and head down there this afternoon.



I spontaneously posted that we were going there on my Facebook page and asked if my friend Kim wanted to join us, as she lives pretty close by. Pretty soon, we were on the phone and decided to meet up.



I hadn't seen her in months and it was fun to catch up. She's thinking of starting her own blog too! Kim would be an excellent blogger. :)

I had plain tart and red velvet cake with swedish fish, sprinkles, and cinnamon toast crunch on top. The swedish fish were a stupid idea on my part because they became hard and they are always so chewy to eat. I love them, but not in fro yo.



I hate to compare, but kind of have to...Yo Mama in Tosa has many more healthy toppings (fruit) and just a better selection of toppings and flavors in general. I also like the flavor of Yo Mama better. Sorry Berry Me!

Next, I used up my last internet deal, which seemed to be the theme of my weekend because I used up all three that I had purchased! I had the Living Social Whole Foods deal and we picked up lots of different yogurts (which I'll review later this week when I try them--excited I found a lactose free one and I am going to finally try Siggi's), chips, apples, carrots, Mamma Chia drinks, Gardein veggie burgers and alcohol.

I better run and make some spaetzle for dinner. I used to make it every other Sunday for a while and then got sick of it. I love having the leftovers for work lunches.

I'll leave you with one more picture of my bangs. I think they look better with my hair up and so does Craig. He is so cute as he said yesterday, "I think you were meant to have bangs" or something to that affect. When my hair is up, the bangs are just long enough to break up the roundness of my face and emphasize my high cheekbones.



Hope the rest of your Sunday is relaxing! I have seen a lot of bloggers comment on being off of work tomorrow for Columbus Day. I wish I was! I think when I worked in California, I had off, but no such luck here. I could use a three day weekend, especially with the weather being perfect lately.
