Worth the Long Johns

Yes, sometimes it feels just too cold, and bundling up in coats, boots, scarfs and hats to go outside gets old. Yes, sometimes shoveling gets tiring and driving around in sleet and ice treacherous. But I've always felt a little sorry for kids who don't get the chance to make snowmen, stage epic snowball fights, and experience the thrill of a snow day; and I've always been happy to live in an area that gets it all - summer, spring, fall and winter.


For his birthday, Owen's best buddy Gavin invited us to join him for a day of tubing at nearby Ski Liberty. We had a perfect day for it - sunny and not too chilly - and the first run of the day left me giggling. Owen loved it too, especially when he "caught some air"! A day well worth the long johns!

Love these two!

And there he goes again

Thank you Beall family!
