Simple things Sunday is about taking time to photograph the everyday details that make your life unique, beautiful, and special. Each Sunday we gather here to share our photos with each other. To enjoy the beauty that can be found in the ordinary and to be reminded of just how important the simple things are. 
If you’re new to Simple as That I’d love for you join us in this weekly tradition. Scroll down to the bottom of this post where you can find all the details on how to share your photos with us.

Simple things Sunday Number 94

This week’s simple thing:

The adults went rafting Friday and had such a fun time taking on a few challenging rapids! I’m excited to share a few more photos with you. I was able to take the iPhone along with me thanks to indepthphotocases.com and I’m so glad I was able to get some photos of our little adventure!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This party is all about celebrating the simple moments and simple joys that make you smile each week. So grab that camera, snap a photo or two and come share with us each Sunday!


Just a few quick rules to play:

1. Grab a button and include it in your simple things post.

2. Link back directly to your simple things post not your blog/website.

No links to other linky parties, giveaways or craft projects pretty please. 
This linky is all about the photos.

3. Be sure to pop by and visit at least 3 other links and leave a comment.

Leave as many as you can.

 



I’ll be taking a little break from Simple things Sunday next weekend. The next party will be Sunday August 19th!

  • It seems that whenever we finish a big outing or vacation together, the moments that stand out to me most aren’t always the “loud, shiny” ones. . It’s the more unassuming moments that stay with me. . It’s the look of pride on my daughter's face after she balanced so carefully across the log to cross the creek and didn’t get her feet wet. . It’s the time we stopped in the middle of the road to let a herd bison cross. All of us quiet, in awe of the animals being so close and not wanting to interrupt the moment. . It’s the kids’ excitement over sliding down a natural waterfall and the surprised screams and giggles that came after splashing into the cool water below. . These moments are the only souvenirs I need from any adventure we go on. #collectmomentsnotthings #outdoorfamilyadventures . . . . #mybanff #collectmoments #treasuringlittlememories #dearphotographer #flashesofdelight #seekthesimplicity #documentyourdays #petitejoys #getoutside #getoutstayout #liveauthentic #optoutside #outfam #banff #greatoutdoors #adventureisoutthere #letthekids #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #findyourpark #explorealberta #momswithcameras
  • As a child, national parks served as the backdrop for many of my most precious family memories. . It’s in those majestic parks that I remember laughing around the campfire, spotting wildlife on wooded trails, and sharing with my siblings the simple joy of throwing rocks into the river. . We didn’t have a lot growing up, but we were rich in outdoor experiences. . Camping and hiking were inexpensive pastimes, and all these years later I attribute being close to my family with being close to nature. . I’ve carried those feelings of peace and togetherness with me as I’ve grown, and now that I’m a parent, I want those same memories for my own children. . It’s for that reason that we’ve become so deliberate about making outdoor adventures a part of our family culture. Through exploring we’ve seen our children push their limits and learn valuable life lessons on their own; we’ve been reminded about what really matters to us; and most significantly, we’ve strengthened our connections as a family. . . . . #collectmoments #capturelife #treasuringlittlememories #dearphotographer #flashesofdelight #seekthesimplicity #documentyourdays #petitejoys #getoutside #getoutstayout #liveauthentic #optoutside #outfam #waterton #greatoutdoors #adventureisoutthere #letthekids #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #findyourpark #explorealberta #findyourpark

  • "To raise a child, who is comfortable enough to leave you, means you've done your job. They are not ours to keep, but to teach them to soar on their own.” – unknown author . Watching these kids climb, explore and push their limits isn’t always easy for me. I’ve uttered my fair share of "be carefuls” when they get uncomfortably close to an edge or want to push ahead on the trail and venture out of sight. . I’m often struck by the precarious balance between wanting to keep these kiddos safe and protected, on the one hand, and allowing them to fly, on the other. But I believe that tackling challenging adventures side by side helps them learn valuable skills that can translate into real life. . We climbed rocks today. We crossed creeks. We ducked through tunnels and balanced on fallen trees – all the while learning lessons in problem solving, trust, and perhaps biggest of all – the belief that we can do hard things.
