As the weather gets better, but not so hot as it will be during the summer, now is the perfect time for family hikes. In some places wildflowers are blooming, making now a truly beautiful time to get out there.

Take your usual basic precautions. Sunscreen. Good hiking/walking shoes. Wear a hat and sunglasses. Carry water.

When we go hiking we give our kids whistles. That allows them to get our attention if they get separated from us. Hasn’t happened yet, but it’s a nice precaution.
