Winter Wonderland
Christmas is gone, but here in Minnesota we still have a lot of winter left to get through. Anyone who knows me, knows that i don't like being cold and typically hibernate all winter long. Don't get me wrong, I think a fresh dusting of snow is beautiful, but I'm certainly more of a summer gal. But winter is long, and I'm determined not to let cabin fever get the best of me! I've compiled a list of some fun beat the winter blahs ideas:
- Sledding
- Snowball fights
- Build a snowman
- Build a snowfort
- Hit a local skating rink for an afternoon
- Try out broomball
- Hit the slopes and downhill ski or snowboard
- Find an outdoor hottub to warm up in with friends
- Check out area trails on a snowmobile
- Catch your dinner with some ice fishing
- If you're brave grab your gear and try winter camping
- Have a fun date and hold a winter picnic
- Sit on your porch with a blanket, hot cocoa, and a good book
- Get friends and build a big fire to make s'mores over
- Rent some snowshoes and explore the RiverBend Nature Center
- Try snowpainting! Put food coloring and water in bottles, find some snow and go crazy
- Take a horse drawn sleigh ride
- or chek out some fun winter festivals: Social Ice in Rochester, Bochfest in New Ulm, and the Winter Carnival in St. Paul
Now let's get out there and make the most of the cold weather months!
