Engage in Summer Adventures with Thomas!

 


Summer is made for going on adventures! For my active guys that usually means getting them out into nature to explore forests, trails and waterways! It also happens to be mom and dad’s favourite way to get active and connect with the kids too!

 

3 boys

 

New experiences give us a chance to learn something new and bond as a family, on this outing above, we came across a funny little otter playing in the water too! He was a thrill to watch as he slid around looking for crayfish under the rocks!
