we finally braved the weather (truth: it got much, much warmer so we put on our gear and headed out for a little hike.). it was really fun. this park is covered in trails and rhododendron bushes and feels so narnia-like. there were sledders and snow-shoers and cross country skiiers. and so many dogs. everyone was thawing out a bit, stretching their legs, enjoying the sunshine. the type of winter day where you could work up a sweat and take off your outermost layer and still be warm enough. i like those. with parker on two feet, it was pretty slow-going so from time to time, we’d hitch him to our back where he’d ride along that way.
hope you’re staying warm in your neck of the woods. i know some of you are experiencing some crazy cold right now!
(and p.s.! my scarf was made by my friend from the providence story!)

that is impressive!! if it gets too cold, i'm too much of a wuss. how's that saying go? there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing? you're inspiring me!

This is why I hate NC. We're finally getting into the single digits, and yet we still have no snow. I'm so tired of living vicariously through everyone else's adorable family fun in the snow blog posts. This is getting ridiculous NC. Just an inch! Is that too much to ask??
Sorry about the rant. Your family is too precious 🙂 Enjoy the snow for the poor folks stuck in the south who are snowless 🙁
bridget says
i totally agree, theresa! i hate times when it's crazy cold but without snow! we're lucky to have it right now.
come on NC!
Theresa Sutton says
p.s. i love that scarf!
Shayna @ The Fancy Yancey says
Aww this looks like so much fun!! I can imagine a little one slowing you down a bit though!!
Liz/happymommy says
Sounds like the perfect winter day! Your family is just always on the go doing fun things, I love that so much! Love the scarf, noticed it first thing, haha! Yes, we are experiencing some crazy cold temps here, right now it is a regular -14 with the wind chill at -38 (which is actually warmer than earlier as the wind chill was a -46)…brrr.
KelseyB says
Beautiful pictures! I too like those days where it is warm enough to enjoy a walk in the snow, where the cold is not taking your breath away or freezing your eyeballs! We are sitting at a nice heat wave of a temp at 31 up here in the tundra of Alaska. Weird to be the warm place for a change.

i told my friends who live in 4 seasons countries that i can really use some snow right now, cause i miss it. but they all told me that they would happily trade the sunshine i have all year long.
bridget says

Love, love that scarf. It's so cold here that everything was closed today (except for the hospital of course so I still had to go outside).
