Kayaking Picnic

One of my favorite things to do is be outside, particularly on the lake. 
My first experience kayaking was a little less than two years ago.
Since then I try and make time to go whenever I can. :)

What's better than going alone? Going with a friend and having a picnic!
Life can't get much better than that. Simplicity at it's best. 

One of my best friend's, Ana, is someone I love spending time with.
We met when we were nineteen, first year of college & have been friends since.

We grabbed lunch from Noodles & Company, couple of chocolate bars and Ben & Jerry's ice cream! 


I picked up the Spinach and Fresh Fruit Salad with Breadcrumbs. The dressing was a little too sweet for my liking but overall it was refreshing. I've been obsessed with coconut and chocolate as of late so I grabbed that as well. Kayaking is definitely a workout for your arms! I'm embarrassed to say we had to take several breaks paddling our way to the other side of the lake! It's quite nice though sitting on the water, enjoying the breeze, watching ducks and geese dive for bugs and fish. We also saw fish jumping out of the water to grab bugs! 

 It was a perfect day. Warm, breezy, beautiful nature with the sun shining it's bright rays.

 Spending time with a wonderful, beautiful friend inside and out! 

One of the many reasons she's a bestie. Friend's don't let friend's do silly things alone!


Bliss.

Alas the season for kayaking is over where I reside. Farewell, till next year.
The lake however will freeze over and make room for more opportunities of fun!
