I remember growing up in the mountains

My parents taught my brother and me to be confident outdoors kids. We were always encouraged to go out and explore. Our best exploring was done in West Creston, British Columbia. We were allowed to go into the mountain behind the house as long as we took Mitch, the golden retriever. We would pack snacks and spend hours away from home. My brother named all the ponds and memorize where they were. I was still pretty little so I just followed behind and helped make noise to warn any close wildlife that we were there.

What adventures did you have as a kid?
