We spent the weekend at my brother's cabins in the Sqamish Valley; the kids always have a blast running around outside from morning til night. Of course we do our due diligence in keeping them within sight and scaring the bejeebies out of them with stories of "monster bears" in the wilderness. Early on in the weekend, Nico said he wanted to watch Treehouse. It occured to me that perhaps we were not doing enough to get Nico outside and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have dove into photography, television has become a complete bore for me albeit a few shows here and there. But this means Treehouse channel is always on in the background, especially on those rainy West Coast days. Don't get me wrong, we go out walking and talk about the mountains we see from our living room window.....but I definitely don't want to raise my kids to become couch potatoes! So when we got home from the cabins, I dug out my little Pentax point and shoot, charged up the battery and gave it to Nico. Good thing that little camera is water-proof for those wet, West Coast days, when we are out walking and taking pictures together.....camping, at the cabin, or Mundy Park, just near our house.
