McKay Lake Trail

sewing, hiking, beauty and the beast

Gwyneth has been attending a sewing class on the weekends. It has taken her several weeks, but she finally finished these leggings! They fit her perfectly and she has learned so many different techniques. These sewing classes have been so wonderful. She is signed up for a few sewing camps this summer. She really loves it. 

While B and Annabelle worked a party at the kitchen, Gwyneth and I went shoe shopping and for a little walk around McKay Lake. I’m finally starting to feel better after 3 days of coughing and sneezing and the fresh air was just what I needed. Plus, everyone who passes comments on those bright yellow shoes which can’t help but make you smile!

The girls and I along with their friend Charity went to the theater for a night of Beauty and the Beast. Both my girls are great friends with Charity and we’ve had these plans in the works for weeks. They’ve been counting down for as long as I can remember. The car ride, dinner, and ride home were all giggles and the girls seemed to really love the show. It was a wonderful night and the show was a good one!

Sorry about that flash, but thanks for the laugh Miss Gwyneth

I woke up bright and early Sunday morning and was ready for our family hike. It was going to be a warm day so I wanted to get an early start. Most of my family did not agree with me. 
B and Annabelle passed on the walk, but Gwyneth hopped right up. This was quite a surprise, because Gwyneth is my sleeper and rarely passes a chance to lounge in her bed. It’s undoubtedly her favorite place on earth. 
We set off for a hike, after picking up a few bagels of course. The only thing Gwyneth may like as much as sleep is breakfast. We walked around the lake which is about 1.5 miles. Gwyneth was great and never fussed. It was a pretty easy walk compared to yesterday. 
Once we finished the McKay trail we decided to try some trails near our house. Unfortunately the bugs were so bad we could barely keep our eyes open. It was pretty gross and I don’t expect we will be hitting this trail again anytime soon. Besides that little hiccup we had a really wonderful time together. Although we missed having B and Annabelle with us, the one on one quality time is so special.
