The Beginning of Have Fun Out There


May, 15th. 2008

"I can't tell you exactly when "Have Fun Out There" began. It could have
been two years ago when my family and I packed up the car and kids and drove
out to Nova Scotia. It was the first time that the entire family (sans
Arwyn who was yet to be even an idea in our heads). It could have been
nearly a year ago when my son Lucas, inspired by a kids travel program
called "Are We There Yet", said that he would like to have his own
television travel show. It could have been six months before our first-ever
cross-Canada expedition in the summer of 2008, a time when my wife and I
were busy chasing sponsors for money and gear, editors for features in their
magazines, and production companies for the television series. The idea
could have begun when I was only a child on one of the many road trips my
Mom and Dad dragged us kids on. It could have been a combination of all the
above. Upon reflection my entire life has been one road trip after another.

Thanks for taking the time to check out our site. Be sure to check our
"video log" page for new Webisodes, especially in July/August as we'll be
posting new ones every couple of days. I can hardly wait for the journey to
begin!"
