Photography is a hobby of ours and we take lots of photos.  The screen saver on our Imac consists of many thousands of photos from our collection and I love to sit and browse through the images.  I love the photo above because it clearly shows that having a toddler doesn't automatically mean no more travel, fun and adventures with your child.  The photo above is taken last summer during a week long trip to the Norwegian mountains.  Wife has a huge smile and is enjoying a day out on the bike trail with her son in a beautiful setting.  We spent some time in the little village of Gålå which is located in the stunning valley of Gudbrandsdalen four hours north or Oslo.  It was a relaxing week filled with nice food and adventure for both toddler and parent.  We see way too many parents who stop living when they have a child.  We try not to go down that road and like to include Daniel in our activities. 

 

We loaded up the car with our camping equipment and the mountain bikes on the roof and headed out into nature.  We spent a couple of nights camping and week in a mountain cabin.  Daniel can't join us on our extreme biking adventures so we had to work around this and take turns riding during the day.  One person riding and one having fun with Daniel.  We also took a few casual trips with Daniel in the bicycle seat he loves so much (read more about biking with your toddler here).  It was a a very memorable trip for the whole family, especially the last day when Daniel started puking in the early morning and continued throughout the day.  To top it off it was also Sandra's birthday:-))

 

Take my advice, don't stop living when you have children.  Try your best to include them and your likely to have more fun than ever!
