Before I had kids, winter meant long months of counting down the days until spring. Then these two little winter-loving girls were born. All of the sudden winter turned into months of being…dare I say it…outside! Yeah…outside…in cold, wet snow for hours at a time. All of these new items appeared in my house like hand warmers and sleds. Snow pants somehow crept their way into my wardrobe. So that’s when I decided to give in and try to find out what the heck people like about winter. After all, I live in New England so I may as well join these snow-lovers! No one was as shocked as myself to discover I actually have fun outside. My husband says the key to enjoying winter is to make sure you’re warm, and he’s right. (Don’t tell him that! Lol) With the right clothes and toys, I found so many things I loved to do out there. Here are some of my favorites:
Talk about a no-skill-needed activity! If you can walk, then you can snow shoe…it’s that easy! After a fresh snowfall there’s nothing more peaceful than walking through the woods or along the side of a frozen lake. Snow shoes are pretty inexpensive and they will last you a long time. They make great snowshoes for kids as well. It’s also good to have a nice warm hat for both adults and kids!
