Hiking with Kids

This weekend we went up north to visit some friends. We learned some valuable lessons about taking kids hiking:

1) Know how long your route is before you go.
2) Bring more adults than children.
3) Damp leaves = pre-moistened wipes.

For those wanting resources to teach kids about hiking, you may want to check out an award winning children’s book called “Anna Goes Hiking.” In the book Anna goes on her first hike with her parents and learns all about the outdoors and nature. The back of the book has a place where children can identify animal tracks, learn about the animals Anna saw on her adventure (what they eat, where they live, how big they get, etc.) and finally a “Here is what to bring if you want to go hiking too” page. The books are available on amazon or our website http://burburandfriends.com/products
