Welcome weekend

Yesterday night, after a long time, we watched a friday movie, "Pukar" (Anil, Madhuri movie) after dinner. Our initial plan was to watch till interval and continue the next day. The idea was to go to bed early and go for an early morning hike the next day. But we got so engrossed in the movie that, we didn't realise that we had almost completed the movie .... so we decided to complete it anyways. It was obviously late by the time we went to bed. I was skeptical about the early morning hike we had planned.
As usual, we woke up to the "Weekend Bonus" .... an early rising ... thanks to my little one. So we decided make the best of the time and stick to our hiking plan. I quickly prepared tea and packed vegetable rolls, orange juice, water etc ... our backpack was ready. (ok... I know, we were going for a hike and picnic ... but with a child one must be prepared) We set out earlier than expected. Reached the ranch and found a convinient parking place. (the parking lot was full as were leaving) We put the little one on the stroller and she didn't complain for a change. We hiked for about 45 mins while the little one was busy with her recital. We spotted a mountain lion as well. We had completed a path and wanted to explore another trail. But it was past breakfast time and the little one would not compromise. So I decided to sit back to feed her and my spouse went for a jog. We headed back soon after and enjoyed our breakfast while driving back home.
Its been a great start to the weekend ! I hope we do this more often !
