The Great Outdoors. Sharing it with Hollynd has added a whole new dimension to appreciate. A toddler's ability to be present is astounding; she constantly reminds me to live in the moment. Be it constantly scoping for animals, admiring a pretty rock (dozens and dozens of pretty rocks, many of which I am tasked to carry), or stopping to sift dirt through our fingers, I am so grateful for these interludes she shares with me. I have vowed to myself that, unless it is totally necessary, I will not hurry her through these wonders. And in the process, it's as if I am truly seeing them for the first time as well ❤️ • • • • • (These are what Holly calls our "adventure coats." I explained that hers is green to blend in with the trees so she can sneak up on squirrels (which made her eyes light up like Christmas morning) and my "poppy orange" safety color allows bikers/motorists to spy us quickly on the trail/road. My jacket, the Odin Power Stretch Pro Hoodie, is actually 40% off right now on hellyhansen.com in all sizes and colors if you need a great fall hiking option! Holly's jacket, the Kids Flight Light Jacket, is now 30% off. And, if you're in the shopping mood, I highly recommend you peruse the entire site-- so many great designs to grab that will inspire you to head out your door!) #Outside #Adventure #OptOutside #GreatOutdoors #Hiking #Motherhood #AthleteMom #MomAthlete #Hiking #Mountains #HappyPlace #HellyHansen #beUTAHful @hellyhansen @visitutah @visitparkcity
