In Minnesota we cherish warm weather, because, to be honest we don’t have a ton of it! On days when the weather is perfection we try and be active outside as much as possible. This past week was one of those weeks where we spent the days outside; from sunrise to sunset.
It was a good thing we started our day off right….thank goodness for Quaker® Oatmeal Perfect Portions! We each made the perfect amount for breakfast, sweetened to everyone’s taste, and headed out on quite the adventure!
We are blessed to live on a lake and with that comes fun family adventures for us all! This past weekend we loaded up our four kids on the boat and cruised over to the “Big Island” for a little hike. We beached our boat and headed out for the unknown. Big Island is an island that is fairly small (when you compare it to other islands) but it is filled with tall grass, trees, wild life, and beaches.
Normally we spend about an hour on Big Island just walking around but this past weekend we spent an entire day there. We discovered new pathways, amazing seashells, an old abandoned shack, and did this all without being eaten alive by Mosquito’s (also known as “our state bird”.) We used an old log as a table for our picnic lunch and chatted about all the neat things we had seen.
We created an amazing memory with our kids and I know this is something that we will look back upon and smile.
Every day is an adventure and with Quaker® Perfect Portions I know I am providing my family with the fuel they need for their epic adventures.
