Feeling thankful šŸ„¹

āœØFor my eyes to see this beauty
āœØFor my body to carry me where I need to go
āœØFor friends who want to do these adventures
āœØFor my husband to be so understanding and supportive and not blink and eye when I say Iā€™m heading camping solo for a night
āœØFor kids who tell me theyā€™re proud of me for doing these hikes šŸ„¹
āœØFor so many things that Iā€™d be here writing forever to list everything

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

And just like that 9 nights camping at Miracle Beach for march break are done!! āœØ

Iā€™d be lying if I said I wasnā€™t a little sad school is starting back up tomorrow. I love the slow days with the kids watching them create, play and be adventurousā€¦. Until they start fighting with each other then Iā€™m thankful schools starting back up šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Whatā€™s your favourite campground!? Let me know in the comments!

This morning when I headed out for my Sunday run I didnā€™t think itā€™d lead to us having to walk 5 km to find the cap for my pole! When I got home I realized I only had one, and not that I needed it, but I didnā€™t want to leave garbage on the trail.

So we packed the kids up and headed out on a great I spy for my pole cap! With a little luck I knew right around where I took my poles out of my pack earlier and lo and behold it was still there!

I love these random adventures because the kids donā€™t always want to go but with a little convincing *cough cough bribing them theyā€™ll get candy after the hike* they generally end up having a great time and talk about how much they liked it after!

Hiking can be scary, especially when you add kids into the mix. But it doesnā€™t have to be BIG adventurous hikes, start small, start where thereā€™s phone service, start with friends who know the trail.

Slowly work your way up to other trails, make sure the kids are confident. Wilder led us on this hike and I am absolutely amazed by his skills heā€™s showing! But we didnā€™t just start out here!

This hike would be a hard hike for most, but we didnā€™t start out here! Build up slowly and give yourself grace!

You got this!

Corn chips and hot sauce, heck yeah!!Would you try this??

Love this quick little walk to stretch my legs whenever heading to Victoria. 5 minute walk from the highway.
