Ever since we arrived in San Diego you know I’ve been into enjoying the outdoors a lot more but I didn’t pay much attention to hiking. Hiking is one of those things that seemed kind of boring to me.
Well not anymore, because when you have little kids they are able to help you see things so different and they MAKE you enjoy things you might not enjoyed before, it’s pretty cool.
Derek is the one that took the kids hiking more often without me and about a month ago they hiked right here behind where we live and made a video of the hike using the Sony action cam. Oh my goodness, the kids came back all excited and telling me all these adventures of what happened during the hike. They also had me watching the video of the hike 10 times.
So I decided to join them the next time after that and it was super fun. Just seeing them embrace nature and have so much fun, makes me have even more fun, that’s it! So easy!!
When we go hiking we don’t bring much but there are some essentials we do have to pack, that’s why I thought making this list of things to take on a hike would come in handy all the time; it;s easy to forget a couple so here we go:
8 Things to take on a Family Hike
- Hand sanitizer. I know you’ll be getting dirty anyways but it comes very useful when you least expect it.
- Sunscreen. Always be protected from the sun!
- Water. Lots to keep those adventurers hydrated.
- Snacks. Fruit, nuts, bars. They can’t get enough snacks when we’re out, we’re loving the Fisher Nut Exactly snack bites, super easy, healthy (no artificial preservatives) and convenient to take to the hikes!
- Light. If you’re going later in the day.
- First aid kit. A simple kit with bandaids, antiseptic and pain killers should be fine.
- Hat. Another sun protection.
- Camera. Always document your adventures! The cellphone camera should be ok too.
Ok, so now during the summer one of our activities on the list is to go hiking to new places. So far we’ve been to 2 places but we have so much more to explore!
8 cosas para llevar en una excursión o caminata familiar
Desde que llegamos a San Diego ya saben que me encanta disfrutar del aire libre mucho más, pero no le presto mucha atención a las excursiones o caminatas. Las caminatas son unas de esas cosas que me parecía un poco aburrido.
Pues ya no, porque cuando se tiene niños pequeños, ellos te ayudan a ver las cosas de manera diferente y hasta te hacen disfrutar de las cosas que tal vez no disfrutabas para nada anteriormente, ¡muy chévere!
Derek es el que lleva a los niños de excursión más a menudo sin mí y hace como un mes se fueron por aquí detrás de donde vivimos y hasta hizo un video de la caminata usando la action cam de Sony. ¡Ay bueno!, los niños regresaron todos emocionados contándome todas estas aventuras de por donde fueron y todo. También me enseñaron el video de la caminata unas 10 veces.
Así que decidí unirme a ellos después de eso y fue super divertido. Sólo con ver cómo los niños disfrutan tanto la naturaleza, como se divierten y hacen de cada cosita una aventura yo me divierto también, ¡muy fácil!
8 cosas para llevar a una caminata familiar
- Desinfectante. Se que se ensuciarán cuando vayan pero viene muy útil cuando menos te lo esperas.
- Protector solar. Hay que protegerse del sol siempre!
- Agua. Mucha para mantener a esos exploradores hidratados.
- Meriendas. Frutas, nueces, barras. Los niños a cada ratico quieren una meriendita cuando estamos fuera, ahorita nos encantan los Fisher Nut Nut Exactly snack bites, son tan fáciles de comer, sanos (sin conservadores artificiales) y cómodos para llevar a las excursiones!
- Luz. Si vas más tarde.
- Botiquín de primeros auxilios. Un kit simple con curitas, antisépticos y pastillas para el dolor es suficiente.
- Sombrero. Otra protección solar.
- Cámara. Siempre pendiente de documentar las aventuras! La cámara del celular es buena para esto también.
Durante el verano una de nuestras actividades que anotamos es ir de excursión a lugares nuevos y hasta ahora hemos estado en 2 lugares pero tenemos mucho más para explorar!
Fisher Nut Exactly es una combinación de almendras tostadas, arándanos, semillas de calabaza y las palomitas de maíz de grano entero, aplastado en una merienda de tamaño de un bocado y sumergido en chocolate negro.

June 30, 2015 at 7:58 pmI go on what I call urban hikes — long walks around Chicago. I guess it's not the same as a nature walk, but I don't have very much nature nearby. What I like to do is have a general idea of where I want to end up, but the exact path isn't planned. Since I don't know what food will be available along the way (and because I'm trying to be healthy and not spend all my money eating out) I usually bring a couple pieces of fruit and some water.

June 30, 2015 at 10:29 pmWe just went on a hike yesterday. I always bring sunglasses, for myself and kids. And my cell phone is my camera and also comes in handy when we want to look up a certain bug or plant to find it's name.
