We heard it again and again – before Hayden was even an idea in our minds. As if, once you have little ones all adventure, fitness, and racing MUST completely disappear from your life. Well, the truth is out. Not only is it possible, but, it is fun. Simple things that we have taken granted for years… running – paddling – walking in the woods – collecting pine cones – ENTERING YOUR FIRST RACE… get to be new and exciting once again!!! Our little ones are in absolute AWE of the world, and now, we are to, through their eyes!

At the Lake Samish Salmon Row, Greg Gilda raced the entire 5.5 mile course with his 4-year old daughter, Lucy. I don’t know who looked prouder… Greg or Lucy!

Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Happy Paddling!!!

Heather, Brandon and Hayden Nelson
