Stomping Grounds:
Live in Wisconsin along the Mighty Mississippi - Originally from Iowa. Wish I lived in Colorado ;) -
Bio:
Mom of three kids (ages 10, 9, & 2) - I drag them & my hubby along on all of my adventures. Love the winter and downhill skiing. Ex-USSA and college raceteamer (GS was my fav). Had my kids on skis before they could walk - now the older two can follow me through whatever I hit them with (moguls & all).
When it's not snowing, we hike and go on our boat. We spend most of the summer waterskiing. Hit up the mountains of Colorado for a week of hiking most summers - made it to the summit of 2 mountains this past trip with all three kids in tow. My 2 year old gets quite the ride in a carrier, but the other two are troopers often pushing us to go farther than we had planned.
Otherwise - I'm a graphic designer for a phonebook publisher for my real-world job. Ski instructor and photographer for my wish-they-were-my-real-world jobs (not enough stable money in either).
Happiest when I'm outdoors introducing my kids to new adventures and watching them learn to live in harmony with nature:)

CamelBak Rogue Hydration Backpack - 2.1L
January 14, 2009
You can also rinse it out with lemon juice (about 2-4 tablespoons mixed with water). I've washed them out with soap before and then end up with a soapy taste (unless you want to rinse it out for about 2 hours). The lemon juice does a good job of getting rid of the plastic taste and I'd much rather have a lemon tasting water than soap bubbles.(ok - this was supposed to go under as an answer, not a question - anyways, hope it helps)

KEEN Targhee Hiking Shoe - Kids' DO NOT USE
August 28, 2008
My kids have drenched these in all types of mud and they always clean up nice. I wouldn't throw them in a washing machine or anything, but a little dish soap with warm water on a rag seems to do the trick every time for us. The leather is very smooth & tough, so wear isn't an issue
