It doesn’t matter if their mittens are soaked through or if they are falling over because they can’t feel their toes, they still don’t seem to feel the bite of Winter. I remember being the same as a child, but somewhere along the way my immunity wore off (maybe I missed a needed booster shot?) and now even inside I huddle under blankets on the couch or try to warm myself from the inside with hot chocolate or tea. There was a brief surge in my immunity when I started snowboarding, but it has plummeted again. So you can imagine how excited I am about venturing out in the cold except when I need to.<\/p>\n
However, we have at least one little one who *is* excited about venturing out in the cold to find an ice slide to zoom down, again and again.<\/p>\n
