CHILLEST ADVENTURE YET

It never fails in Illinois to have just the right amount of days that make you think, “Okay, we’re getting out of winter finally”, and then BAM! Illinois reminds you that she tells you when she’s done with winter.

Waylin received a double whammy: an already in-place day off from school + a full day of fluffy snow.

I don’t know if I ever remember having time limits when you’re playing in the snow. I think I would just bundle up as fast I could and whatever felt convincingly warm enough to hurry out the door. The signal to know when it was time to “come inside” was usually when my socks felt like I was standing in a lake and my butt was wet.

i’ve always had a hard time “ending fun”. This is something that I know to be very true of myself. So, we definitely stayed out in the cold for too long. Waylin’s cheeks were BEYOND ROSY; they were MAJENTA!

We had that moment of “we better run inside” because we couldn’t feel our feet or our hands.

There were tiny snowballs all over the house in a race to get to the bathroom to start a hot bath!

It was such a great snow day for us no matter how cold it was!
