How do you hike with kids?
We will never promise that getting outside is easy.
But we can promise you this...
time spent outdoors will create some of the best moments of your family life!
It's worth the effort!
Here's the truth...
We have made all the mistakes.
We have forgotten supplies that should have never been forgotten.
We have lost a child on a sled run and please know that's not a hyperbole, we actually lost him.
We've taken turns crying.
We've lost our patience.
On more than once occasion, we have scratched our heads and wondered why on Earth do we do this?!
But we persisted.
We pushed through because on the other side of crazy were magical moments.
We came out the other side having seen places that have taken our breath away.
We have embraced each other after a tough climb with high-fives.
We laughed and fell deeper in love as a family.
We have created some of the most beautiful memories in the process.
We have come to realize that prioritizing the natural world in the lives of our children was the absolute best way to raise a family.
