Lost in the Woods!

So today, my friend Maria, her brother Alberto, me, and my exchange student Felix, went on an adventure.
And what an adventure it was!

First we made homemade pizza with Italian style dough-
quite a scrumptious treat.
It had thin, crispy crust, spices, sauce, fresh Parmesan and mozzarella,and then toppings!
We topped some with pineapple, some with sausage, and some with pepperoni, and some with combinations!
Then we baked it and eat it.
With such thin, crispy crust, we had to eat it with a fork and knife!
It was the best pizza I had ever eaten! ^_^
We also drank sparking cider, apple favored and apple-grape flavored.
Those were really yummi, too!

We then went to Cattus Island park, where we visited the nature center first.
Alberto and Felix, though 16, had a ton of fun fiddling with the learning activities and toys meant for the younger kids.
It was really cute!
The we went hiking.
We followed the trails and stuff, but didn't bring a map, so we didn't knw which ones went where!
It was also snowy on the trails, but that was okay. We took reeds with fuzzy ends and used them as 'weapons'- for ticking!
We had fights with them, chasing each other all over.
A ton of fun!
Eventually, we found our way back, after an hour or so, and after some near misses with falling in ponds covered in ice.
It was so much fun, and we were all laughing most the journey!

Finally, we went back to Maria's and ended the day with cherry pie, hot chocolate, and many games of "Catch-Phrase".

It was the best time I had all year, possibly the best time I've had in the past decade! ^__^

Going to a park with friends creates some of the best times ever!
Everyone should do it!
