If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward

They are never too young to get out and explore, whatever the way they do it, let them

This little guy was more than happy to crawl and walk around the logs on the beach

Can you remember the first time you took your baby out of the carrier on a hike and just let him feel the ground and nature around him

I will always remember and I’m sure deep down inside, they remember too

Thanks so much @katiagphoto for capturing this awesome picture of me and my sons at our Valentine heart hunt earlier this week, I rarely get photos taken of us while adventuring with the little explorers since I am the main person that usually takes the pictures! It’s really nice to see from an other angle how much fun we are really having our adventuring. Great capture, I am really grateful for his photo!

📸WEDNESDAY’S FEATURED 📸
This is our favorite photo of the week using #thelittleexplorerssquamish it doesn’t happen too often that the lakes freeze out here so when it does, we better take advantage of it...
Repost from @mmeamy - Love having outdoor rinks to learn to skate on. #exploresquamish #squamish #outdoorrink #frozenlake #skating #brohmlake

❤️I REALLY NEEDED TO SHARE THIS ❤️
One day, I’ve asked Erika to write a short testimonial about her experience while adventuring with @thelittleexplorers_ and she just went on and poor out this beautiful testimonial. It was too long to share the whole thing on our website page but I just couldn’t handle not sharing this with more people. Thanks for always being part of our adventures since the beginning!
Here is what she wrote.

“I was so happy when Marie-Andree decided to organize hikes for busy toddlers.
🌲
I had joined a hiking group when my son was a baby and loved getting out with him and exploring with a group. I didn’t know a lot of hikes here in Squamish since I had just moved here. So getting out with a group was the support I needed to explore and meet new parents in my new community.
🌲
But once my son became mobile, he no longer wanted to go on long hikes in the backpack.
🌲
I was so sad to no longer be able to get out with a group and get out in nature with my son.
🌲
I was very intimidated to take on long ambitious hikes with my son’s unpredictability.
🌲
Then I learned Marie was organizing a parent and toddler hiking group!
It made so much sense!! Now we were able to get out and enjoy hiking again, on outings with age-appropriate expectations. With the support of other parents and of course Marie leading the group, I could comfortably go out and explore trails again with my son!! I was so happy!!
🌲
Marie plans hikes that are fun and manageable for parents with toddlers. I love seeing how the kids can walk and explore without the pressure of keeping up with a fast pace. Sometimes the snacking is the focal point of the whole outing!
🌲
I’m learning new hikes and meeting more families in our community and Timo is his happiest just being left to explore and adventure at his own pace.
🌲
I am so great full for all Marie’s efforts to get kids and their parent out into our natural environment, and for making it so stress-free and fun!!
🌲
We live in such an amazingly beautiful place and I want my kids to grow up knowing how to navigate safely and respectfully through it.”
