Kid and the outdoors. http://youtube.com/domu888 Domu has a 2.5 year old kid who he wants to introduce to the outdoors. I have a unit the exact same age so I can relate to his situation.

The youngest Jaxx is on the Banff climbing team and the oldest doesn’t climb as well but skis like greased lightning. Links to this episode.
