When you get home from a hike, unload the trunk, and find sticks and other treasures your snoozing little adventurer tucked away while snacking in the car after a great morning on the trail with friends. – Meg Kearney, North Shore, MA
There is always a stroller, two carriers, water shoes, extra clothes for you and kids, towels, lots of snacks and water bottles in your car at all times. You never know when there may be a HiB hike you can make it too! – Emily Decker, St. Louis
Your child’s car seat has rocks instead of toys tucked away in the sides. – Bailey Ludlam, Salt Lake City
I check my branches HiB page every morning for new hikes as frequently as I check Facebook! – Kelsey Freitas, Augusta, GA
On your very first official hike your trail mates teach you how to nurse in your baby carrier and teach you how to back carry; two things you’ve wanted to do but couldn’t quite get on your own! – Lauren, Cleveland
