ADVENTURES

I’ve always believed time alone in nature is therapeutic. It’s even more therapeutic when that time is shared with my kids. Getting into outdoor adventures is a great way to invite kids into a story – and story provides meaning, something we all search for in life. Here’s some highlights from our adventures.
