I REALLLLLYYYYY wanted to run outside this morning but I didn’t collect clothing that would be warm enough for the 30 degree weather. I thought I had some set out but I actually put them back away so……that’s what I get for cleaning up.

So I begrudgingly ran a few miles on the treadmill and felt grateful that it was available to me but tomorrow I will be more prepared!

We met a friend at a playground and spent over two hours playing outside, it was so good to catch up a breathe all the fresh air.

In the afternoon we set up the bubble machine, and played in the backyard for a few hours, still working on our 1000 hours outside.

I really loved this short article from Outside:

The more I read about nature and children’s need to play, explore and be free the more I want to prioritize adventures and go all in on our Dirt Bag Summer.
