BUILD MEMORIES WITH YOUR KIDS OUTDOORS
The best time with my kids is when we are outdoors. My kids are happy when I buy them stuff but when we spend time together taking a walk along the woods or frolicking in the river, there is a different glow in their faces. Their faces are full of excitement. They got messy and dirty molding muds in the paddle but for my kids it is already a great adventure. The happiest moment for them is not about having beautiful dresses, new gadgets and delicious food but it is when they are brushing they feet in the grasses, smelling and picking the wild flowers and feeling their hair got wet with water in the river.

Technology and school have their own purpose for the development of our children but we should not expense letting them play outdoors and letting them spend time with nature because when they grow up, it will be one of the best memories they will never forget. Spend quality time with your kids and build memories with them through stimulating activities and adventure outdoors.
