The Great Outdoors

Hiking is an activity our family loves to do!  Exploring, exercising, fresh air…all good things.  I especially love the break from the tech world to just slow down, breath and take in God’s creation together.

It can create an opportunity for talking and sharing with each other that may not happen in the distraction of other stuff.  Not to mention this is a free activity for the family!  Be sure to pack water and snacks. (and band-aids…just in case)  We use a book we found at a local bookstore that gives a huge list and description of hikes for children that we use a lot.  Or you can get ideas from friends or the internet.

My sis-in-law and her boys love to hike too!  Check out her blog for hikes in the Pacific NW!  Livin the Hike Life 

What about you?  Do you like to hike?  Where have you been?

Have a blessed day!
