Today is full of excitement in these parts: The Big Explorer is celebrating his 7th birthday!
And since you’ve only spent at most two years (and more likely, far less time than that!) watching him grow, learn, explore and play here at Go Explore Nature, I thought it would be fun to give you a glimpse into our world of outdoor adventures before the blog.
It’s a stroll down memory lane for me – and a chance for you to see the big guy in the early days.

Here’s to remembering what getting outside with the kids in your life is really all about: connecting with each other and with the world around you.
Happy Exploring!
