  1. We love your Facebook posts! Our favourite adventures of 2018 so far would be one in winter – a day trip to Jura Canyon, and for the summer we had a wonderful first trip camping in Cypress Hills Provincial Park.

  2. Follow you on Facebook. Favourite adventure so far? Joining a forest school and seeing how my kids really come to life in the space.

  3. I liked your FB page. My favourite adventure was taking the kids for a month at the family cottage – boating, swimming, hiking, fishing and frog catching. Relaxing and where memories are made.

  4. Followed on FB and Instagram!

    My favorite 2018 adventure was going up to Murphys CA to hike at Calaveras Big Trees and watch the sunset from the Arnold Rim Trail.

  5. My favorite adventure this year was spending 3.5 weeks in Alaska visiting family. I love going back to the place where I lived for two years and learned so much about who I was and who I wanted to be. My husband and I went with our two children and they loved it as well! Our four year old can’t wait until he is big enough to climb to the ‘very top of a mountain’!
    *Following on Facebook and Instagram

  6. I follow you on fb. The best thing we did this year, was I took my children to a rocky lake for a week. Water isn’t close to us so they discovered so many things.

  7. Following on Facebook. Favorite adventure this past year has been hiking and biking through Jay Cooke State Park with our newest little family member.

  8. Followed on FB and Insta, commented on the FB and Insta posts and shared on FB! w00t w00t! Great giveaway! Thanks so much!

  9. Of course you’re liked on Facebook already. I love your adventure posts and how real you are!!
    In the summer we had many adventures one of my favorites was camping in k- country, having bears wandering at a safe distance, and biking to do activities with the littles while we were there!

  10. Following on Facebook and Instagram @ccrobich. My favourite family adventure was touring all the amazing stops on our Mediterranean and Baltic cruise this Summer.

  11. we went to sea world and well thats it except i went to austin were some things happened and conquered my fear of the place and well thats it and i follow you on face book

  12. will start following you on fb shortly. My favorite trip during 2018? Hmm… Utah and Colorado continue to amaze me. We love the Grand Circle area and am hoping to return during Spring 2019. Honestly, though, we are trying to hit all of the national parks. Last year we were in the Banff Jasper area.

  13. Followed on Facebook! In June, we did a 140 km bike trip where we got stormed in at our ocean destination…we spent the extra day looking for sea glass in the wind and rain 🙂 I then used that sea glass to make my parents’ 50 anniversary present. (And now I’m kind of addicted to searching for sea glass!)

  14. I follow/like on facebook. My favorite adventure this year was one I wasn’t technically a part of. My husband took our boys to Nova Scotia by himself. It was his first time traveling with the kids without me so it was a new experience for everyone, without mom hovering. I loved hearing about their adventures and also enjoyed ten days alone, making memories with the dog.

  15. Family camping with our toddler and being pregnant over BC and Alberta!!! The adventure will continue till the birth of our xmas child in Yellowknife!

    Awesome gift guide with an ethical focus! I like that the products are Canadian and locally made as well! This would be an awesome birthday gift for me!!!

  16. Following Born to Be Adventurous FB page! My fav adventure of 2018 was a 4 week family surf trip to Mexico. Our little guy was 6 months old at the time and we spent every day outside, mostly at the beach. We totally bonded as a family unit and I loved seeing my husband and little dude get so much quality time together ❤
