Row Row row your boat

November is here; along with it came colder weather unfortunately. I am happy however, that we have not yet had any snowfall. Since I am driving an hour to school 4 days a week, I'll be perfectly fine if we don't have any snow this year, I know several  people who wouldn't be as happy.

From this summer

I was perfectly happy to be out in the kayak on the water yesterday. It was truly one of those days you know is straight from the Heavens. R and I went out on Lake Red Rock which is just minutes from where we are. We are so lucky to have an awesome place like Lake Red Rock this close to us, so we've decided to take advantage of it!

Our goal was to find some caves that you can paddle through. R thought they were west of the boat dock we went in at but when we got home we realized they were East...oh well. We still saw some really awesome sights.  We went about 2.5 miles west from the Elk Rock boat dock giving us a 5 mile round trip.

Check out the video of the 'caves' below!

This is Halloween.

Eat: Apple Crisp.

Things have been pretty busy for me lately but I did find a few minutes to make an apple crisp the other day. School is into mid term time so things are picking up quite quickly but it's going well! :)

To me, Apple Crisp is probably the epitome of fall desserts. The greatest part is it takes like literally 5 minutes to throw together and about a half hour to bake and most often the only thing you need to grab before making it is the apples. Super awesome for if you need to throw together a dessert in a hurry. And honestly who doesn't like apple crisp!?
