“We live in Vermont and one of our favorite things is when we prepare for the cardboard box sled race. The sleds are made of cardboard boxes with only tape, paint and wax allowed in construction. They can be any shape and size but can only have wax on bottom. No wood, nails, screws or rope are allowed. It is a blast to see what people come up with for sleds and to see if they actually make it to the bottom of the hill in one piece. Last year my children and I made an escalade called puppy bounty hunter and a prison bus for all of puppy’s captures. We did win but had so much fun. Even the constant spinning in the bus was fun. Almost got sick but fun.”

With the little bit of snow that we have had so far, we have been able to sled in the yard and make a snow igloo. We enjoy playing in the snow and our puppy loves it too! It is fun to watch our puppy try to catch the snow flakes when they come down, we are looking forward to playing in the snow with her again!
I bought snow shoes last year for my daughters, 5 & 8, and this will be the first time trying them. I’m excited but we haven’t gotten to use them yet. The best part is hot chocolate after
Trail running…to stay healthy and enjoy the outdoors!
going outside and shoveling the driveway with my 3 and 5 year old boys so we can make them a snow hill to go sledding down
