2/3 hike for #OutsideForGood My kids would walk 1 2/3 hike for #OutsideForGood

My kids would walk 100 miles if it meant saving the spaces that we know and love. This fundraiser was a great opportunity to talk to them about our public lands being at risk! 

@alltrails and @trustforpublicland teamed up to raise money for OUR public lands! So when we hike this fall - it’s for a purpose! Complete 3 activities on the app between 9/1 and 11/30 and help raise $30k for Trust For Public Land

Great hike for kids! Cultural history about the tribes that used these caves for shelter. Some loose rock in places, some scrambling needed, a geology lovers wildest dreams! 🛘🪨🌾

Sweats and a sweatshirt ✔️ The more I go camping Sweats and a sweatshirt ✔️

The more I go camping the less I identify with the granola girl asthetic the internet presents. Please fill my comment section with screen shots of you on your last camp trip so I don’t feel as alone. 🫶🏾

Also, don’t ask why I ran off screen like Napoleon Dynamite 😂

You too can be a Star Wars. Just add a little char You too can be a Star Wars. Just add a little charcoal from a burned tree on your next hike.

We learned this trick many years ago when my oldest was in Campfire Girls - all my kids have done it ever since, every chance they get! 🫶🏾

I hope you find your way outside! 🌳🍃🐛

As a #TeamBronco_Ambassador one of my favorite way As a #TeamBronco_Ambassador one of my favorite ways to welcome this season is to adventure around in my Bronco® looking for signs of Fall. This trip to find where the Beavers are working was unsuccessful - but still so fun! 🌊🏞️ 

What signs of Fall stand out to you?

The ultimate outdoor play pants 🗣️🏔️ @reimanortha The ultimate outdoor play pants 🗣️🏔️

@reimanorthamerica outdoor pants is the product for kids I want every mom to know about! ReimaTec fabric has over 20 years of innovation and they are equally waterproof and breathable! I have loved the reinforced fabric around the “trouble areas” that need it most - kids knees and bottom! This means they can say “yes” to all kinds of outdoor play, sliding down a wet slide in the rain and activities over time that would normally result in a hole in the knee!

Our favorite play pants come in ReimaTec waterproof fabric, Softshell with gentle materials on the inside, or Rubbermaid created for mud and rain play! Pick your poison 🛝🤸🏾‍♀️🏕️

👉🏾 My kids are wearing @reima Kids ReimaTec Waterproof Pants named Samppi (black) and Sampu (lilac)
