Our Backpacking Adventures
Stop and smell the roses.....
The best part of backpacking is the journey so don't forget to stop and smell the roses! Make a scavenger hunt of "things you can find" along they way.
Kids need lots of breaks so the hike isn't a monotonous grind. You can take rest breaks and focus on the different things that constantly surround you. My thought is that if we learn to identify the vegetation around us on each hike we'll become more in tune with our surroundings.
I'll photograph different plants and flowers each time and we'll read about them when we get home so the next time we go out we'll know more about what we're looking at.
