Worth the Schlep
Adventuring outside with kids can be so fun and delightful, but let’s be honest. It's also downright exhausting – the gear, the diapers, the meltdowns, the strollers, the jacket no one wants to wear until you forget it, the snacks…good god, the snacks. But with a little time and maybe some (interrupted) sleep, sometimes those trips are also absolutely hysterical.
Join Tess King, a doctor and outdoor adventurer, athlete, and mom, for stories of the highs, lows, and hilarity of trying to raise an adventurous family. Next time you’re battling a meltdown or ear infection in the middle of a trip you prepped for all month in the hopes that everyone would have fun, just take a deep breath (or scream into the woods), because you got this, you’re not alone, and down the road, this will all be Worth the Schlep.

S1E6: Expectations Were a Bit Bleak
No one likes starting the weekend in a bad headspace. Rough weather, bad energy, injuries, arguments...whatever the reason, it can be hard to overcome negative expectations. But sometimes, those expectations might not pan out. And maybe it's still worth a try to get out there anyway.
Tess and Brandon talk through a recent weekend when "expectations were a bit bleak" to start, but just a few sweet moments with their kids on some rainy hike and bike days were enough to reset their own energy and soak in the family adventures.
