You get the idea.
Thursdays are my OUT days. Out as in I can not take being at home anymore and we are going OUT, it doesn't matter where. Today we took a walk in the snow at the botanical garden. Three different people (the only other three people there, two being gardeners who have to be there because it is their job) passed us and said something like Cold day today. Wow, you're brave to be out here with those two. Which I know is the nice way of saying: You're a crazy lady to drag your kids out in this weather.
And they're totally right. I am crazy on Thursdays. And it was bitter cold. But Reuben had fun stomping around in the snow and following the bunny and deer tracks around. Then we warmed up in the car. Here's proof that nobody was too frozen after our arctic expedition.
Then stumbled upon the wonderful Brookside Nature Center. There were live turtles and snakes and fun nature books and lots of buttons to push and taxidermied animals and a great big window to watch birds at the bird feeders and a glass bee hive. It was heavenly. Seriously, that is what my heaven looks like. I love Montgomery county. And Reuben loves foxes, dead and alive.

At first glance, Reuben's rice cereal looked like ice cream.
As for outside adventures in the cold weather, sounds like your kids are learning not to let the weather get in the way of what they want to do.
I think I remember taking you to that nature center when we lived there. Looks like a perfect winter weather retreat!
i'm glad to hear you make it out. winter is way too long to just stay inside.
and i'm glad to hear r likes foxes. just like his auntie norma.
