We aren’t perfect. We aren’t rich. We aren’t 100% organic. We have McD wrappers in our car, a messy house, and have fought in the mountain parking lot. But we’ve got spunk and LOTS of LOVE! Every time is the best time when we’re together. This post is late because we make the most of the time we have together with @supersalmons - you’re our glue, #1 cheerleader, burnt burger BBQer, sarcasm in a bottle, reckless old guy at SlushCup who can still hit the jumps, and the most knowledgeable cold potato expert I know. Most importantly, you’re a great dad to the hooligans. We like you. A lot. #fathersdayeveryday
It’s easy to get caught “looking forward”. Looking forward to their smile, their 1st word, their first steps...looking forward to the rain to end while camping ... it’s a horrible habit. Then it creeps up on you, Wham! 💥They are 1yr old and all those precious baby firsts only exist as memories. Pictures capture the moment but getting dirty (and in this case wet too), snuggling to stay warm, driving to town for breakfast, and playing cars by the fire are the warm fuzzies I’ll cherish. Happy Birthday V. I’m glad we all got to share many firsts together in celebration 🎉 You’re my little girl and my daily reminder to LIVE each day 💙 Thanks for being such a cool cat as we take you on quad rides, ski hill naps, winter strolls...do you even cry?
Sometimes things don’t always go as planned but we’re learning how to make the best of situations out of our control. I say “learning” cause I’m easily hyped and instantly get a vision in my mind. This weekend’s solo camping adventure with the kids wasn’t the family vacay I thought it’d be but so far it’s going pretty good besides the fact that I only packed popcorn, hot dogs, and marshmallows because I totally didn’t think we’d make it this long ha! Wish me luck that we make it through the night!
The transition to a peddle bike has begun and it’s been a tough ride! After successfully riding his new bike ONCE, he threw it down and has had a love-hate with it ever since. I’ve been careful not to push him and have been taking it everywhere with us but no luck. Today I put training wheels on to help him nail down pedaling...we’ll see if it helps. 😬 PS. If anyone wants to come over and mow my lawn, I would repay with a drink on the patio 🤦🏽‍♀️ #morekidsonbikes
It was a blue kinda morning 🌧 These rainy, misty days are actually some of my favourites. The colours pop, everything smells so fresh, and we actually slowed down enough to WALK through the trees and feel/explore the surroundings. I like this interpretive trail stuff! The only thing I forgot was my morning coffee 😵
Have those friends that feel like family? The ones that you can call for a spontaneous fun afternoon, that don’t judge you during the sideways moments, have extra snacks, and most importantly, are as crazy as you when it comes to their kids and biking?!? Check out their Thule set up! @thebikedads @rascal_rides @kidsbikescanada
