If you think you can’t hike with your kids, just go with friends & get them each their own fannypack and buy them candy that is usually forbidden, and they will climb any mountain. 🤣Bonus points, their backpacks have a water bladder so they can access water and serve themselves anytime 💦. I used to have to constantly encourage my kids to keep on going, and now I can barely keep up with them! I know it’s the end of summer for some of us, and for many of you, you are already back to school— but I have gotten a lot of questions about getting out in the great outdoors with kids and how to be prepared! Going to work on a post soon 🏔. This beautiful hike is absolutely a slice of heaven. And these pics don’t even do it justice. Remind me of this beauty when I am complaining about PNW rain in a few months 🤪. Being outdoors in God’s creation has seemingly endless health benefits. Beyond just enjoying the beauty of it, you boost your immune system, get your vitamin D, move your body, get an endorphin boost, can ground... and can even #breatheyourbiome ! Enjoy the weekend, friends ✨
