Kids Today! Playing video games, texting their friends... c'mon, let's get outdoors.
I am gratified that my 11 1/2 year old daughter likes to go hiking with me. Naturally we take easier trails, yet she seems to enjoy the challenge. And it gives us special daddie and daughter time.
On the Australian Hiker Blog (see previous article0, Our Hiking Blog, Frank and Sue write about an 
American based hiking with children program (go figure - discovered on their Aussie site). Discover the Forest provides locations near you and activities to do while hiking with your kids. Leaf rubbings, identify animal tracks, learn to use a compass and more.
Hiking has become a fabric in my life and it is wonderful to share this with my daughter. Are you hiking with your kids?
