Day 937 | Braving the Cold

Guess what? The boys and I have managed to continue our walks to Chase's school twice a day, four times a week. This week has been the challenge. Today, I checked the temperature on my way out the door and the "feels like" temperature was -9 degrees. That's no joke. 

To be honest, though, it doesn't feel that bad. And I've actually really been enjoying the extra motivation to get out of the house in these conditions and get some exercise. It's nice not to feel super cooped up already when we've got a looong winter ahead of us. 

How do the boys feel, you might ask? They're the ones who requested walking today. I was giving them the choice since it was SO cold and I didn't want them to be uncomfortable. Based on the temperature of their little hands and noses when they get out of the Burley (remember this? and this?) and their request to walk today, I'd say there's no question that they're staying warm and cozy in there. Turns out the bike trailer was an even better purchase than we thought! The big wheels (a must through the snow and slush) and fully-enclosed, side-by-side seats make for a pretty sweet winter ride.
