With all the rain Zane found another hobby he enjoys; riding his bike through puddles!! We did this multiple times a day in the past week, just a few loads of extra laundry. Everyday Zane wants to go for a "walk." This means I walk and he rides his bike and we go everywhere. One day I measured our distance, total over three walks we did 3.5 miles in a day. Now most days aren't that long but we easily average 1.5 miles a day.
Last Wednesday, when it was pouring down rain, we went to find a Christmas tree. In the past it has been a family tradition to head into the National Forest with a permit and cut down a tree. The closest National Forest to us where you are able to do that is over 4 hours away. So we had permission to cut one down on the property and we trekked through the woods and found the perfect tree. We were a bit soggy by the time we got home and the tree sat on a large tarp in the living room to dry off. Zane had a great time helping decorate the tree, espcecially Casey's ornaments that are made of yarn and get thrown on the tree(another great family tradition).
On Saturday we had our first snow at Hartland. It only amounted to about an inch but all the kids had a great time sledding and playing in the snow. And Zane figured out puddles and snow is another great combination.
