Healthy Drinking Habits with Gululu

We are an active family and love spending our free time hiking, biking, walking and being outdoors. I work hard to teach my kids healthy habits in all aspects of their life including what they eat, what they drink and how much they are drinking and how active they are. These are the foundations to a healthy, happy child and children can carry these healthy habits into their adulthood.

In the warm summer months staying hydrated is important and necessary. Today I am talking about Healthy Drinking Habits with Gululu and how easy and fun it can be to reward healthy hydration habits. Hiking is one of our favorite things to do now that we live in the Cleveland area. We live next to the Cuyahoga National Park and there are endless trails to be explored.

We recently did a fun and adventurous hike to Blue Hen Falls where we hiked to two separate sets of water falls. The first set of falls was a mild hike up a few hills to a beautiful waterfall. The adventure didn’t stop there! We decided to try and find the second set of falls, which was another hour hike through hills, streams and along unmarked trails. Let me tell you, with 3 kids under 6 years old a hike like that can be pretty tough.

I was really impressed that everyone did such a great job and my 3 1/2 year old Drew even walked the whole thing. In total the hike was 2 1/2 hours to get to both falls and back. Pretty impressive! As you can imagine we got very thirsty on our hike. That is where our new GULULU water bottles came in. Both of my kids have a Gululu interactive water bottle and used them throughout the hike to stay hydrated.
