I'm very fortunate that both the KidZ adore the outdoors. They're mad about camping, they're addicted to geocaching, they love travelling and exploring and are slowly starting to show an interest in photography. All this means that I can share my passions with them and we can always find something new to do or somewhere different to go. I'm just … Continue reading Sharing my passions with the KidZ
