Walk On the Wild Side with NWF’s Hike & Seek 2013

National Wildlife Federation (NWF) is pleased to announce their annual Hike & Seek™ event, a family outing that inspires a child’s sense of adventure by combining a nature hike and scavenger hunt.  What a great way to get your kids playing outside and having some fun!

The event brings families together for a few hours in the great outdoors for some fresh fall air and fun and provides an opportunity to rediscover nature.  You are encouraged to sign up at www.hikeandseek.org early to register, and then show up ready to spend some family time in nature.

Doesn’t this sound FUN…?!  🙂  It looks like registration fees for the event come in the form of a gift you make towards NWF – you select the amount, starting at $15.00.   If your family gets to attend this… please tell me how it went.  I’d love to hear about it!
