Bindi Irwin Shares Her Plans for a ‘Dream Adventure’ with Daughter Grace



Bindi Irwin has big plans for the next 15 years of her daughter Grace‘s life!

On Saturday, Aug. 17, the Crikey! It’s the Irwins star, 26, shared a heartfelt video on Instagram which featured clips of herself, 3-year-old Grace and her husband, Chandler Powell, exploring some natural locations — as well as footage of Grace as a baby.

“When our beautiful daughter was born, I decided I wanted to take her on a big adventure,” she wrote over the Instagram video. “Since my husband is from Florida and my mum is from Oregon, I want our girl to experience as much of the United States wilderness as possible.”

“My dream is to take her to every USA National Park before she’s 18,” Bindi continued, showing clips of her daughter playing in nature, standing on a beach with her mom, Terri Irwin, and sitting on Powell’s shoulders. “If you have advice, please share. I can’t wait to make this dream a reality…”

Many of Bindi’s followers and fellow moms were ready to offer their expertise on getting around the U.S. to visit all 63 National Parks (although there are more than 400 areas managed by the National Park Service in total).

“They do Jr. ranger programs at most national parks,” one Instagram user commented, referring to the program that allows kids visiting national parks the chance to complete activities and share their experiences with a real park ranger, in exchange for a badge and other prizes.

“You could get her a T-shirt from each park in her size and turn them into a quilt to give to her when she’s 18 😃. You’d see a toddler shirt from Yosemite and an adult shirt from Mammoth cave,” another user wrote, sharing their ideas.

“You need to do a roadtrip!” yet another commenter added. “A few actually. That way you can visit a few national parks each time.”

Bindi also took a moment to thank her followers for the advice, writing in her own comment: “Thank you so much for your AMAZING advice!! I’m writing it all down. I can’t wait 💛.”

Bindi and her husband, 27, have already made sure that Grace is well-traveled for her young age. Just last month, Powell shared a series of photos on his Instagram from his and Grace’s trip to Singapore — the fourth country the toddler has visited so far.

“Grace’s fourth country!! 🎉,” the proud dad wrote alongside some photos of his daughter exploring nature, walking on an overhead bridge and visiting animals at a zoo.

“My parents met us in Singapore and we spent a week exploring this incredible part of the world. Grace was in her element. Very thankful for this time together,” he wrote in his caption.

Grace — whose full name is Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, in honor of Bindi’s late father, Steve Irwin, who died in 2006 — is seemingly already well-acquainted with the key skills needed to visit the U.S. National Parks, including with working with animals and hiking.

Last month, Bindi shared video footage from a family hike on her Instagram Stories. In the sweet clips, she, her daughter and her husband could be seen trekking up a steep incline toward the top of a mountain.

“It’s a very big hike up this big, big mountain, but Grace has got it!” Bindi can be heard encouraging Grace in the clip.

“Strong leg muscles. You’ve got this, girlfriend!” she added.
