Every year over the Thanksgiving long weekend, my family has a tradition of going on a hike together. This hike is always so exciting because the leaves have all fallen and we are surrounded by the beautiful fall colours. The weather was also sunny and warm today, which made for a really nice hike. I’ve felt very busy with school and work recently, so I haven’t spent enough time in nature to notice the change in the season. Getting outside today definitely boosted my mood and put me in a fall and festive mood. I hadn’t seen my family for over a month, so there was so much to catch up on with my family. My dogs were also full of energy and excitement since having everyone home for the long weekend; hiking is also there favourite activity so I love to share that with them. I added a photo of 2 of my dogs below; I wasn’t able to get my puppy in it because he is full of energy and can’t sit still for a picture. I’m hoping to get one more hike in while being back home in North Vancouver because it is one of my favourite things about living here.
