Snow!

I understand that there are a lot of people who don't like snow. It's cold. Makes for tough driving sometimes. You have to get bundled up just to go out in it...and then what's the point. You have to clean off your car if you're parked outside. Just a hassle.

But I feel differently! I think there are lots of good things about snow! If you dress appropriately, it's not too cold! And what's the point? Being outside. Off your butt. Not in front of the t.v. or on the computer! If you have kids, you can get out and have fun family time! Make a snow fort. Make a snow-person or snow-monster. Throw snowballs, which then gives you the chance to get exercise because you have to run away from the person throwing it.

(On a side note. There is SO MUCH OBESITY in this country! Every person is supposed to get 60 minutes of physical activity PER DAY! I know I don't get this every day, but the snow play certainly helps add up those minutes!)

Well, we had our first snow yesterday. And by 8:15 we were ALL, including our 7 month old, outside playing in it! And we had a blast! Got some exercise. And had a fun family outing with lots of laughs!

Enjoy the pics!!First steps in the snow!
