Adventure Awaits - Stories by the Campfire

Adventure isn't that hard to find when you live in a beautiful place, with scenery like this a mere five minutes from home.

Or when your local Historical Society hosts a free "Stories by the Campfire" event...

where you get to roast your freshly made bannock over the fire...

and hear tales of the Voyageurs...

told by a canadian history expert of east indian descent, singing songs in french.  Only in Canada, eh?

Oh yes, and finding a stick to carry on the adventure helps too...

I love checking out our local paper to find free, fun, family adventure.  Did your community have any great events this weeked?

Adventure Awaits - The Ravine

One of the very best things about our house is that it backs onto a woody ravine with a creek running through it.  The kids have spent countless hours back there, collecting sticks, building bridges, creating forts, fairy houses, and even searching for Easter Eggs.  It's also a fun "shortcut" to our neighborhood park.

But it's been a cold, rainy couple of months with lots of housebound days 'cause of sick kids.  We've baked, decluttered, crafted, gamed, movied - and I've loved doing those things.

But there's something I love more...and that's little, outside, adventures.

And sometimes all adventure requires is a little bit of sunshine...

A log "bridge"....

A push on the swings...

Some bubbles....

A stick and some water to splash in...

And the promise of spring...
