Not to challenge you this weekend, but we've got some serious @lego skills going on here! Thanks to Joey Kendrick Johnson @dragonsandelephants, Branch Ambassador in Utah County, UT, for sharing their Hike it Baby Lego creation and schooling us in some Lego building skills. 😎

Anyone out there game to build a Hike it Baby or outdoor-inspired creation this weekend?

Would you camp with your kids here, or there? Could you camp with them anywhere? On a train, on a plane, in the dark, or in the rain? How about a tent or a car?

We can't help you with camping in a plane or train, but if you're debating whether your family is better suited for car camping or the backcountry hit the link in our stories for our blog that covers the pros and cons of both. Happy camping!

We know many of you have been waiting patiently for an update on when we can start hiking again. And we can't wait for that day to come, but because COVID-19 cases continue to rise in many parts of the county, the safest option is to continue getting outside as a famliy. All Hike it Baby in-person hikes will continue to stay cancelled. Please still make time to get outside. It's more important now than ever to take in the physical and mental benefits of the outdoors. Join your local branch's Facebook group and the Hike it Baby Community Facebook group for tips, motivation and support from other HiB parents. We will get through this together ❤️

Image description:
As we continue to navigate COVID-19 our most important concern continues to be the health and safety of our community. Although many communities are beginning to open and offer safe opportunities for hiking and small community gatherings, we are an extensive national community. Because the U.S. at large is continuing to see a rise in COVID-19 cases, the complexity of social distancing for toddlers, and to ensure equity across all of our branches we have chosen to continue to cancel all in-person hikes until we feel all of our communities can hike and gather safely.

Getting outside is as important as it has ever been. The endless physical and mental benefits of spending time outdoors are critical, especially in a time like this. We are committed to helping your family get outside however you feel comfortable. Check our Facebook and Instagram pages often as well as our bi-weekly newsletter for more ideas on how to get outside. And join our Hike it Baby Community Facebook page where you can ask for tips and advice from other HiB families and stay connected during this challenging time.

Parenthood is an adventure. Bring it outside.

See you outside,
Jessica, Linzay, Kayla, Emma, Elicia and Sara

There are three things we know for certain:
1️⃣ Getting outside is critical now more than ever
2️⃣ Getting outside should be safe, equitable and welcoming for all
3️⃣ We need to do our part to make that happen. So, we are excited to announce we are eliminating Hike it Baby membership fees!

Starting this week, joining Hike it Baby is FREE FOR ALL. Over the last several months we've taken a step back to look at the heart of Hike it Baby and we quickly realized our membership fee was a barrier to access all that the Hike it Baby community has to offer and was not equitable. We're excited to break down this barrier and build a more equitable community with you.

We're quickly making updates to our website and working behind the scenes to reflect this change and we'll keep you posted. In the meantime, head to the link in our bio to join your local branch's Facebook page. See you outside!

Talking to your toddler about what flowers are OK

Talking to your toddler about what flowers are OK (weed in your backyard) and not OK (neighbor's prize rose garden or trailside poppy) to pick can be tricky. Here are 8 ways to teach your child how to appreciate a flower when it's one that we shouldn't pick.

Screenshot this for reference or download it to print in our bio.

It can seem impossible but one major game changer we found is the @morrisonoutdoors sleeping bag for babies and toddlers. We asked 5 Hike it Baby families to try it out and this is what they had to say.

"Best camping sleep ever!" — Olivia Taylor, @hiking.ashland
"We love our Little Mo!" — Deanna Curry, @shinydayadventures

"I moved to Virginia as a widow with five kids and really struggled to fit in with any of the mom groups I found. I was talking to an online friend about it and she suggested I look for groups with my interests rather than just being moms. I hopped on Facebook and searched “hiking families Richmond” and my branch was about a week away from their inaugural hike! There were four moms and four babies in carriers that day. We sweated, we laughed, we nursed, we changed diapers. I hadn’t been that happy in a very long time. I started showing up to every hike I could. Within a short amount of time, everything changed. I was finding myself again, my joy. Virginia was letting me plant roots and was becoming my home. I truly believe that Hike it Baby saved my life. My youngest kids have grown up on these trails and I’ve seen the difference it’s made in their lives too. To be part of a village is EVERYTHING."
-Sumer, HiB Richmond, VA
