Guys this is my 100th post! I am so blessed to have this blog and all you readers thank you so much for making this possible!

These past few weeks I have been going non-stop getting my stuff together for my trip to Thailand, school, dance, and blogging. Lately the theme has been travel on our blog so I thought that I would look up some really good snacks this past week that are good for traveling. My mom and I went on to the blog A Beautiful Mess(a blog that has really inspired Marley, Rebecca, and I) and found a recipe for sweet and salty banana chips that looked delicious so we tried them out and now want to share them with you! These may not be the best snacks if you are traveling outside the country where fruit is not permitted but i still hope you can enjoy this recipe! Continue reading

Hey guys I hope that you all had a fabulous week. I love hiking. It is probably one of my favourite activities to do in spring and summer. It is great exercise and it is so cool seeing all the beautiful things that God has created.I want to share my love for hiking with you and share 8 awesome hikes that I have enjoyed.

1.Mt. Tom-chilliwack
This is a really nice hike with not to many steep parts. It is a but longer but is great to do with friends or family. There are a few different path you can take during the hike if you want to keep hiking or do the same place another time. I love this one and it has a beautiful view, but what hike doesn’t.
2.Grouse Grind-Grouse Mt.
This one was a tough one. The whole hike is a bunch of stairs. Once you get up to the top there are cool thing to do like watch bird shows or watch the grizzly bears. Don’t worry they are in an inclosed habitat. There is also a lodge up there since half the year it is a ski hill if you don’t feel like bringing a lunch up there. I defiantly worked up a sweat and my legs were burning by the end. If you are not into all that hard work you can pay $40 to ride up the gondola. It also has a beautiful view of Vancouver once you get to the top.
3.Stawamus Chief-Squamish
This has one of the best views I have ever seen. The water below is so blue  when you get up to the top it is a beautiful view. This hike splits into 3 different sections that are different difficulty levels. Once we got up to the top there were a bunch of chipmunks that ran everywhere. If you go on an overcast day you might break out into a light sweat but it is not a tiring as the Grouse Grind.
4.Abby grind-Abbotsford
This hike I found was a lot of up hill with no breaks. It was a great workout and I defiantly worked up a good sweat on this one. The view from the top is the farmland in Abbotsford. This is a peaceful hike and it is a good one to do with friends.
5.St. Mark Summit-Cypress
–
6.Lost Lake-Whistler
-While our family was at a campground in whistler we heard of this hike that went to a lake that we could swim in. We decided that it would be a good I deal to bike there instead, not the best idea we ever had. There are some really steep sections if you start out by the camp ground. It is a really pretty lake even though it is really cold. It was really refreshing since we went on such a hot day.
7.Margaret Falls- South Shuswap
This one was not as much of a hike as it was a nice walk to a waterfall. We had planned to go on a hike that was near this waterfall but since we were not familiar with the area we stopped off at this walk instead. It was very pretty but very short.
8. My. Baldy-South Shuswap
This is the hike that we were going to do in #7. Instead we did it another day. It was a really nice even circle that had barely any ups and downs. There were some cool side trials that we followed that lead to some really pretty waterfalls and cliffs. This one is nice to do when it is warmer out since it is really shaded from the trees.

I hope you enjoyed this and have some new hikes to try this year. Don’t forget to follow us on our social media @/basicbloggerss. Until next time xoxo Vienna.

Hi guys! Today I am doing this awesome project called love your neighbour  where a friend and and I are making cookies and giving them to our neighbours. I have realized these last few years that I love giving and helping out. With being able to go help and Ronald McDonald house and filling up boxes for Operation Christmas Child and soon being able to go to Haiti once again. It gives me the best feelings I could ever have. One verse that really resonates with this is Matthew 25:34-40 Continue reading

Hey people of the interweb! Today I decided to hit you with another recipe. This recipe I made today and I am in love with it. It is from the Noble Pig but I made some preference changes. One more thing, I know that it is late but my power was out all day today!!! A windstorm came by and just knocked out the power of around 400,000 homes power if you haven’t already heard. SO CRAZY! The soup that I want to share with you is dill pickle soup. I know it sounds funny but it is so delicious. It reminds me of fall when you where big comfy sweat
