Got to take these cuties out on a walk in Fairbanks 😏 @visitfairbanks #alaskawinter #alaskawithkids #reima #kidswhoexplore #outdoorfamily #familyadventure
After spending a full week in Fairbanks and seeing (what felt like) more clouds than I’ve ever seen anywhere in my entire life, we had to return to Anchorage to catch our flight back to Colorado. I told Danny we had a lot of money riding on this last night in Anchorage - if we don’t see the aurora here, I’d have to book anothe redemption aurora trip in the fall. But the forecast finally looked decent after 9 super duper overcast days, and the aurora activity looked promising, so we pushed our flight out by one night to try our luck in Anchorage. I asked my two oldest if they wanted to come on an aurora hunt with me that night and my 7 year old said absolutely. So I woke her up at midnight and we drove to a beautiful overlook in Anchorage, Glen Alps to try our luck! The moon was so bright it almost felt like daytime (hence the shadows in the photos) and we hiked a little bit in untouched deep snow to the overlook. And after a few minutes, with some serious squinting and using our strongest imagination, we saw the faintest little baby aurora 😁 And a bonus! The last photo was taken on the night we were flying out the next day - we had until 10pm to try and catch something, so I told Danny we’re parking at a park near the airport and getting the kids to sleep in the car while we wait for the aurora to come out - and she did 😁 #anchorage #travelwithkids #kidswhoexplore #kidsoutdoors #familytravel #alaskatrip #reima #reimanorthamerica #reimakid
“Do you guys want to land on a glacier and see an ice cave?” “Obviously 🤩🤩” Knik Glacier views were out of this world with @alaskahelicoptertours. This was such a highlight during Alaska trip! Thanks for having us 🤩 #alaskaphotography #alaskatravel #alaskaadventures #familytravel #kidswhoexplore #adventurefamily #alaskahelicoptertours
Winter in Alaska 🏔️ 🦅 ❄️ It started with wanting to spend a few nights in a cabin in the woods and hope to see the northern lights, to then realizing there’s so much cool stuff to do in the winter in Alaska and planning a much more active itinerary than I had imagined. And not seeing the northern lights 🫣😭 #alaska #alaskawinter #alaskawithkids #alaskaadventure #kidswhoexplore #adventurefamily #familytravel #alaskalove #matanuskaglacier
Our Journey just got a little Sweeter ☺️ About 4 months ago we welcomed a brand new little member into our family and she’s been the absolute best addition 🤗 The older girls are obsessed with her and I couldn’t be happier to watch her fit right into our lives. Also, Alaska is wild ❄️ 🧊 🏔️ can’t wait to share more form this adventure #travelwithkids #alaskawithkids #alaskawinter #matanuska #matanuskaglacier #alaskaadventure #takethekids #kidswhoexplore #palmer #alaskaadventures
Some of my favorite camping spots over the years, in no particular order 1 Big B’s Orchard You can camp right inside the orchard, in between rows of peach trees, apple trees, cherry trees and more. My kids absolutely loved being able to pick fresh peaches off the trees in the morning 2. Green River Lakes Not pictured: 2636274737383 mosquitos. Seriously one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been. Unfortunately our oldest broke her arm while here and we had to cut the trip short, but I really hope we can come back one day. If I can convince Danny to ignore the 384573737382 mosquitos. 3 & 4. Grand Teton NP Probably the most scenic dispersed campsite at a national park. Usually national park reservations are snatched up 37368 years in advance, so it was nice to be able to pull up to this spot without any advance planning. 5 & 6. Goblin Valley SP Pretty underrated state park with insane night sky views! It’s also an incredible natural playground for the kiddos 7 & 8. Crested Butte Favorite little Colorado mountain town. We try to make it out here at least once a year (if not once per season!) These kiddos have been begging to go camping for the past few months and I can’t wait to take them in a couple months. #campingwithkids #familycamping #kidswhoexplore #grandtetonnationalpark #goblinvalleystatepark #outdoorfamily #childrenofmountains #adventurefamily #takethekids
Scenes from Peru I’ve never shared (Ollantaytambo and Cusco) I loved this area so much, but I was so wiped out by altitude I could barely breathe. Not so fun fact and we didn’t know at the time, but that first shot was the only time we’ve ever been sick (covid) while traveling. All other sicknesses ever have come from the kids going to school 🫠🤪 So, for science, if you have young children in school/daycare, how many times a month are they sick on average? Because I swear we’re on sickness number 78 just this year already. *This is of course a super official study (not) and the data will be used by scientists (me) to analyze whether we should just homeschool next year because this sick season has been a doozie.* #peru #cuscoperu #travelwithkids #kidswhoexplore #peruwithkids #takethekids #adventurefamily #perutrip #travelperu
📍 Sacred Valley, Peru Slow month over here (it is STILL freaking January!), which means plenty of time to look through old footage I haven’t had a chance to go through. I feel like this is also where most of my learning happens - about editing and… how I *should have* filmed something in hindsight 😄 I also have to keep reminding myself that the journey is more important than the video and that I don’t want the filming to get too much in the way of the travel. I find a lot more joy in creating cinematic style videos rather than the clickbaity trendy stuff the algorithm loves to promote, so I’ll be making more of those! #sacredvalley #peruwithkids #kidswhotravel #cuscoperu #travelperu
Can’t believe it’s already January 47th! 🫥 Favorite national parks to visit in the winter, in no particular order: 1 - Bryce Canyon 2 - Zion 3 - Canyonlands 4 - Arches #travelwithkids #bryce #zion #nationalparkservice #nationalparkphotography #kidswhoexplore #adventurefamily #kidswhohike
Iceland with Kids post is now live! 🇮🇸 Our entire 11 day road trip itinerary with all the stops and things I wish I would’ve done differently is now on our website :) I haven’t written a blog post in years so this is a very rare occurrence 😄 One of the best decisions we made for this trip was staying on our home time and not worrying about the time change. With the sun setting at 11pm and never really getting dark (or the sun not setting at all, depending on your timing) we were still out hiking and exploring at midnight, and had most locations to ourselves. Our mornings started pretty late, at around noon, but this allowed us to have some overlap with grocery store open hours and tour operating hours. And one extra bonus was not needing to do a time change when we got back! #icelandwithkids #icelandtrip #icelandvanlife #icelandroadtrip #takerhekids #kidswhoexplore #familyadventure #familytravel
📍 Spring in Meteora, Greece Absolutely loved exploring this beautiful village while on our trip to Greece in late March last year. The flowers and cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom, the weather was perfect and the crowds were low 👌 The monasteries are open on some days for visitors and there’s a beautiful hike you can do from the village at the bottom to some of the monasteries. #meteora #meteoragreece #travelwithkids #kidswhoexplore #takethekids #adventurefamily #adventureparenting #greecewithkids #greecetravel
Green Mountain Falls is an adorable little town in the mountains west of Colorado Springs that’s perfect for a short weekend getaway to nature. Summer offers lots of hiking in and around the town, Fall offers beautiful Aspen foliage, Winter turns this town into a cozy winter wonderland and spring brings some of Colorado’s most beautiful wildflowers! The other perk is that there are lots of attractions within a very short drive away from Green Mountain Falls such as Cave of the Winds, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods and more. Cave of the Winds is just a 15 minutes drive from Green Mountain Falls and has two parts to it; an outdoor adventure park and the caves you can explore!
some of the additional items you’ll need to pack when going camping with toddlers, aside from the usual camping packing list: Sleeping bag for kids. If you’re not co-sleeping and regulating your child’s body heat with your own, you’ll want to make sure they We used to bring this with us on every trip (not just camping) so that our 1 year old doesn’t see us when we’re in the same room since that would completely distract her from going to bed. It’s often a lot less crowded, campsites are a lot more spread out, and you’re usually completely on your own in nature.
They had everything we could’ve possibly needed for the camping trip; other than bedding, each vehicle they rent out is equipped with a full kitchen (propane grill, cutlery, cookware, electric fridge), camping chairs, camping table and either a rooftop tent or trailer. You’ll still need your sleeping bag if you’re doing Jeep camping, since the top popup tent is still just that – a tent. It’s higher off the ground and has one hardshell side, so you’ll be slightly warmer than sleeping on the ground, but you’ll still need a warm sleeping bag if you’re going up into the mountains. Sleeping in the tent can get cold since it’s not very well insulated, but with a proper sleeping bag you could extend your camping season into late fall or even winter.
Herman Gulch Trail is one of the best hikes for viewing wildflowers near Denver during peak season. Herman Gulch Trailhead starts at 10,332′ elevation which already makes it harder to breathe if you’re coming from Denver or anywhere in the front range. If you’re hiking this in July, this is where you’re likely to start seeing wildflowers of all colors and if you’re lucky Camping is not permitted within 100 feet of any water source, so make sure to stay within the correct distance away from the stream that hugs the trail in some sections, as well as the lake at the end.
