On Wednesday it was 65F, then on Thursday it was 30F. That’s a pretty abrupt transition to winter. It’s about time, but still startling.
Our outdoor playtime, as part of the Every Day a Play Day challenge, was a long walk around town. We sauntered to our errands and cruised to the library.
On Friday, we got the first real snow of the season. The boys were so excited to play that I put their snow clothes on over their jammies and sent them out the door.

After a couple hours outside, we came in and warmed up. It’s been a long time since we’ve been to Chico, and I figured we were due a soak in the hot springs pool. We ate a late lunch, then drove down the valley to soak.
Even though the Every Day a Play Day challenge is over, we aim to get outside all winter long.
Anders is getting so GIANT! He’s such a tiny little thing around and sprouting up so much. It’s crazy how fast that happens.
