It humbles me to see so many active parents getting outside with their little ones. I feel I have benefited so much from organizing this group! The conversations we have had on the trail have kept me centered, validated my choices as a parent, shown me I'm not alone, and provided me great inspiration for things I can do with my family. In Alaska, so many of us are thousands of miles away from the places we grew up, raising our children with out the help of family close by and our friends truly become our surrogate families! Thank you for being a part of the Trekker family!
We'll have to have a little party after one of the hikes in April to mark the occasion!
It's truly amazing to see how much our children have grown, and how much they love being outside! When we started this group, some of the kids were very new walkers, wobbly on their feet... now they're hiking parts of the trail themselves!
Here's a look back at some of the Treks over the past year!
Wonderful post! I haven't been able to attend many of these hikes, but I look forward to doing so this summer when I discontinue daycare. The pictures are great, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAmazing what you started Harmony!

ReplyDeleteDefinitely has afforded us the opportunity to not feel abashed going into the outdoors.... particularly in winter! I never thought I would be hiking in the winter with a wee one--- and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Thank you again-- look forward to many more.. especially now that Zephyr can start trekking on his own! :)
