Adventures

Our Family Story

We’re Ken and Candice, raising kids on adventure, presence, and a little bit of chaos. We believe you don’t need perfect timing or perfect gear to create meaningful family memories. Our story is still being written, but our Compass is always pointed toward adventure. Click to read how it all started.

Why We Blog

We blog to share real moments that bring families closer. The imperfect trips, the games played by firelight, and the conversations that happen when life slows down. We share stories of adventure, family, and God’s goodness woven through everyday moments, with the hope of encouraging families to go, gather, and connect. No perfection required. Just real life, real memories, and the reminder that showing up is what matters most.

Family Moments

Snapshots of our tech-free family moments that invite real connection. Time outdoors, fresh air, shared meals, and outdoor activities are where we feel most present together.

We enjoy a cozy hotel stay too, but our greatest joy is unplugging, stepping outside, and choosing experiences that bring us back to each other.

Less screen time. More together time.
