🏝 Island Life 🏝⁣ ⁣ I absolutely 💚 LOV

🏝 Island Life 🏝⁣
⁣
I absolutely 💚 LOVE 💚 visiting islands that have NO motorized vehicles zipping through the streets. It gives the laid-back, slower pace vibe 🕶 and it literally calms my nerves to be in that environment. Partner that with AWESOME outdoor escapes such as beaches 🏖, gentle but gorgeous hikes, and cultural experiences ⛩, and you've got a WINNER in my book. ⁣
⁣
Lamma Island in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 has all of the above and it really is an old favorite that we return to often. If we want to get away from the crowds and get an awesome workout, we head over to ⛰ Ling Kok Shan (link in bio). If we want a more mellow day, we walk over to Mo Tat Village and 🐢 'turtle beach.' ⁣
⁣
If you haven't explored Lamma Island, or you haven't been in a while, we encourage you to go! The nice thing, especially now, is that Lamma is less busy than in years past since there aren't any tourists poking about. 🍾🙌🎉⁣

👏 😄 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦! ⁣

We love it when people DM us or respond in our Stories and ask us questions. We certainly do not know everything about getting young kids on outdoor adventures, but we've done it a lot, so we are here to help! ⁣
⁣
Today's focus: 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘄/ 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀⁣
⁣
1. 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘃𝘀. 𝗧𝗮𝘅𝗶/𝗨𝗯𝗲𝗿/𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗿⁣
This depends on the distance from our house. We will usually take public transit to anything less than an hour away. If we do decide to take a taxi/Uber, this is why...⁣
⁣
- the trailhead is far away⁣
- there is a place to store the car seats near the trailhead⁣
- the trail is difficult to get to by public transit (includes a lot of extra walking/carrying the kids⁣
⁣
2. 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱⁣
⁣
👍 Choose a trail that's a loop or an "up and back," so that you can store your car seats near the trailhead and use them to return home.⁣
⁣
👍 If the trail starts near a village, ask a kind human if you can place your car seats in their driveway for a few hours. 😆 People have always been very accomodating.⁣
⁣
👍 If the trailhead isn't near anything, bring a large plastic garbage bag, place the car seats inside, and store them in the nearby forest. We've done this many times and no one bothers them. 😀⁣
⁣
⭐ When we did 𝗡𝗴 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗸𝗲 (𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼), we brought our car seats and stashed them in the village near the trailhead. This allowed Peri (and us) to spend our max energy on the trail and not on actually getting to the location. ⁣
⁣
What do you think? Are we crazy? 😆

Look who has graduated to a backpack carrier! 👀

What a significant milestone for our little Kai! 👏⁣

❓Some people have asked us:❓⁣

⁣
Most babies can start to go into a backpack carrier around 6 months, however, that's not a hard and fast rule.⁣
⁣
Some Pointers👇⁣
✔ Make sure baby has good head and neck control⁣
✔ Checking if your baby can sit up unassisted is a good way to see if he/she is ready ⁣
✔ Bring the soft carrier as well and do half the hike in the backpack in and half in the soft carrier to get them used to it⁣
✔ Start them early. If you wait until they are more than 1 year old, it may be harder to transition them to a backpack carrier (though not impossible)⁣
✔Attach a teether or toy so that baby can play with something familiar in an unfamiliar carrier.⁣
✔ 𝗘𝗡𝗝𝗢𝗬 the additional freedom! It's SO nice to be able to see your feet again 😀👍😆⁣
