The Family K Hiking Adventure

Hey Loki Fans!
Fall is in full swing in Michigan.  I love this time of year, especially with having Loki with us.  We can take him for longer walks.  We take him on bike rides.  One thing that I wanted to do with Loki and Marcin this fall was to go hiking. 

One of my co-workers told me about a great hiking area in Wixom - Proud Lake. At Proud Lake, there is a five mile nature walk.  While Marcin has done more advance hiking before and we hiked together on our honeymoon in Hawaii, I wanted our first hiking adventure with Loki to be relatively easy.  Five miles is a bit of a distance, but it the trail was relatively flat. 

Needless to say, Loki was very excited for the trip.

Are we there yet, Jess?

 Once we got to Proud Lake and found the trail, the Family K went a-hiking!

Loki, getting the lay of the land.

Check out my boys!

During our hike, we found this great big tree trunk that had fallen.

Trying to get my yoga on.

Four miles in, we found a tall corn field with a beautiful tree in the middle.

Even Loki was amazed with this view:

But alas, Loki wanted to continue on the hike:

The hiking trip was a complete success!  It took us roughly 2 hours to go around Proud Lake and we definitely enjoyed the views.  Loki had a blast on the hike and was zonked out for the rest of the day. 

Loki - one happy, spent pit bull!

We are hoping to get another hike in before the cold sets in.  Next time, Mama K will be joining us too!

Hope you are enjoying the beautiful fall weather!  See you next time. 

Now it's time to enjoy a nap and night cap:
