Today was our first real snow fall of the year, so, of course, Katie was begging to go outside to play. Now, as every parent knows, you really have to weigh the pros and cons of getting everybody bundled up for such a snow adventure. Will it be worth all of the hassle to get everybody outside? Once outside, how much will your youngest one even tolerate? Will the older one whine about getting snow in her mittens? You get the picture. We definitely got what we would consider an adequate return on investment today: only 15 minutes of tugging, pulling, screaming, and kicking to get outside...and 30 minutes of good fun once we got to the snow! Even Michael did a pretty good job walking in his snow boots! We were getting well-prepped for our journey to Michigan next week. Knowing Grand Rapids, Katie will not want for snow there!
