Spending the day in Jasper without a vehicle is a little different compared to other adventures to this beautiful Canadian National Park. In the past, we’ve jumped in the car and done all the typical “things to do in Jasper.” We’ve driven to the Icefields or checked out Pyramid Lake or some of the other […]
Explore BC – GoodSir Nature Park, Prince George
I’ve lived in Prince George for almost five years, and I’m still checking off the boxes on places I want to visit. Over the BC Day Long Weekend, I finally made the trek to GoodSir Nature Park on Old Summit Road. This privately built and operated nature reserve has been on my radar for some […]
Barkerville Historic Site with 2 under 2
Taking young children to a historic site is always a gamble. Sometimes it plays out, and sometimes it’s a nightmare. It’s hard to tell, and while you can often gage your children temperament before heading out on the road, it’s not unusual for their behaviour to change wildly while at the historic site. I’m not […]
Explore BC: Greer Creek Falls, Vanderhoof, BC
One way to escape the heat, and get the babies to nap, is to go for a long air conditioned car ride! I recently heard of Greer Creek Falls just outside of Vanderhoof, and we opted to head out that direction for a carnap and to have lunch. I hoped Woody’s bakery would be open, but to […]
Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park: A Day at the Splash Pad
Summer is in full force in Northern British Columbia! The daily high of 32C (90F) is taking its toll on this Canadian family. Lucky for us, Prince George has a small, but fun, splash pad (or water park) at the main city park – Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park (previous known as Fort George Park). Prince […]
Prince George Playground – Paddlewheel Park
Our visit to Paddlewheel Park was a spur of the moment outing. It wasn’t a Prince George playground we were scheduled to visit this summer with Hike it Baby Prince George; rather, a moment of “get us out of the house.” Sometimes, when you have 2 under 2, you just need out. It takes some […]
Prince George Playground – North College Park
This afternoon, we explored North College Park in College Heights with our weekly Hike it Baby playground. This Prince George playground is located in the College Heights neighbourhood. It is an older playground the City of Prince George has identified for an upgrade in 2017. As of our visit at the end of July 2017 […]
Prince George Playground – Nordic Park
In our quest to explore the different playgrounds of Prince George, we ventured up into the Hart to check out Nordic Park. Every Thursday afternoon, my tot and I (with little Miss in tow), pack up and go for a Hike it Baby playdate! We love making new friends, and playing with our old friends. […]
War Falls, BC
Ever since War Falls, BC was featured a local buzz-piece of “things to do in Prince George,” the sight has been on my perpetual list of “things I want to do.” The problem is, War Falls is kind of, just a little, out of the way. One day last week, I decided let’s just go […]
Swift Creek Trail
This summer I want to get outside more. I want to be more of an outdoor mama because being outside really does make me a better mom and person. Over the weekend, we visited the Robson Valley in beautiful British Columbia. We stayed in Tete Jaune Lodge in a cabin because I just couldn’t handle the possibility […]
