Hiking trip with 6 and 8 year old went better than expected

Took the boys on a 4 mile trail near us and honestly thought it was going to be a nightmare. Packed way too much snack food, made it a game where they got to mark the trail map every mile, and brought a speaker for some music during the breaks. They actually said they wanted to go again next weekend. Win.

That's awesome the hike went well. Making it a game is the move - my boys are way more into outdoor stuff when it feels like an adventure instead of exercise.

Four miles with a 6 and 8 year old is legit. My one kid would probably tap out at mile two, so you definitely crushed it.

Snacks are the secret weapon on trails. Honestly I think you could get mine to hike anywhere if I just packed enough goldfish and fruit snacks.
