Our Perspective On What "Game Time" Is

What does the phrase "game time" mean to you? Board games maybe? Video games? Computer games? Or perhaps sitting in front of the T.V. for hours on end watching the big game?

In my house, game time means Mia and I racing to the water, trail, or back to the Jeep to see who can get there the quickest! Who can find the biggest rock, the most red leaves, or the most interesting thing on our outdoor adventure!

Halls Pond, it's game time Mia!
We usually always stop somewhere to venture outside before we head home. Who wants to be cooped up when the sun is shining and the wind can be blowing through our hair?! Or when there's fresh white powder on the trails to play in? Or when the lakes are frozen and hold promising visions of flags flying from fishing traps?

Yes, game time is our time to get outside and adventure!



Today, Mia and I stopped at Halls Pond on our way home, and as soon as Mia got out of the Jeep, she headed straight for the dock! Needless to say, she beat me!

My little outdoor lady!
We goofed off by the water for about an hour. I tried to entice her with her fishing pole, but today she decided that she was much more interested in kicking rocks from the dock into the water.

Hey, what ever works! We were outside, playing, spending some quality time together. Whether she wants to fish or not, or hike, or just sit in one place watching the trees sway with the wind, it's all good to me. As long as she enjoys her time in the great outdoors, and keeps begging me for more!

And, our favorite residents of Halls Pond were there to share in our fun!

Now it's your turn to create your new and improved version of game time! Race, play, hike, walk, and adventure OUTSIDE!

  1. Yes, it IS my turn to play, hike, and adventure outside! It's finally warming up here in North Idaho so you will definitely be hearing about my game time. I love the picture of Mia standing on the dock with the sun on her face and the wind in her hair. To me, that's what being a kid is all about. Of course, we adults need to get outside and play too!

    1. I'm looking forward to reading your posts!! Your part of the country looks beautiful!

      Mia is always in her element when we are outside adventuring! She always chooses to be outside over indoors, and she's very insistent that we are out there every day! :)
