Webster Falls<\/a> trail in Hamilton, Ont., are both great examples of outdoor trails that you can tackle with your kids. Be sure to pack a lot of snacks, bottles of water and sunscreen to keep everyone happy and energized throughout the day.<\/p>\n![\"kyle](\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20150529_161632-e1463437546846-576x1024.jpg\")

If you’re planning on taking a road trip but you’re worried about getting nauseas,\u00a0throw some Gravol in your bag. I know that my\u00a0brother-in-law and his wife often take them before they\u00a0head up to the cottage. Gravol Ginger Liquid Gels are easy to swallow, non-drowsy and will help prevent any motion sickness on long car rides.<\/p>\n
Also, if you’re planning on\u00a0exploring, make sure you’re prepared post-hike.\u00a0Pack some Rub A535 Extra Strength to ease those aches and pain.<\/p>\n
