Families Exploring and Enjoying the Outdoors
So you want to take your family on a surfing adventure? The most important decision you must make – even more important than how many diapers and boards to bring – is where to go? Many surfers seek desolation, gnarly waves and places that don’t necessarily have a lot going on culturally. Basically, places that…
The C Word. As in, CHILDREN. A word that makes grown men shake in their boots. A silly little word that is scary enough to ruffle the normally unflappable feathers of some of the most bad-ass childless adventure women out there! Is this baby the end of surfing, traveling, swimming, hiking, climbing, camping, snowboarding? Is…
The Canadian Mount Everest Expedition trail is located in the heart of Kananaskis country in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The trails original name was Interlakes trail and was renamed in honour of the first Canadian to summit Mount Everest in 1982. The whole area used to be covered in water but I will let you…
Our family loves to go on adventures. Recently, we have been having so much fun playing in the fall leaves and hiking on the autumn coloured trails. The other day we discovered a new to us trail that took us to a waterfall in Canmore. It was perfect for little feet. The trail involved beautiful mountain…

There have been many ups and downs but overall the memories we…
The weather outside might be getting colder but fall is actually one of my favourite times of the year. There is something about the changing colours of the leaves, the brisk cool air and the beautiful sunny blue skies. My husband and I love it so much we got married in October! The downside is…
It might not officially be fall but the weather has been sitting around 7 C. The brisk air has been a nice change from the smoke but can still be a bit of a shock compared to the 30C sunny summer weather. The colder weather is also the beginning of the battle to convince littles…
With one look at my daughter I knew that she was at the end of her patience. After the long 6 hour car ride, her hair was disheveled and her face was still covered with morning’s pancakes. My 2 year old is not a fan of having her face wiped especially with the disposable wipes…
Our family recently came home from a 3 week VW camping trip that took us from Calgary, Alberta to Tofino – Bainbridge Island – Glacier National Park. The trip was epic. We surfed, boogie board, dug in the sand and went on some amazing hikes. On all of our hikes we brought along the Onya…
