In the busyness of life, time is something that we need to be intentional about, and planning a holiday with extended family to create core memories, will never be a loss. Kids see everything in a new light, everything is exciting, new and fascinating, which is often why parents and grandparents revel in them experiencing things for the first time.
Break out of those patterns and routines to plan a holiday together and rediscover life’s simple pleasures. Be fascinated again, and revel in the joy of discovering this wilderness paradise, where days are filled with wonder and nights are serenaded by nature.
