Play in the Snow
There is nothing more fun than building a snowman, having a snowball fight, or sledding down a hill. Don't forget your dogs while sledding. They love to play in the snow! Or have a football game with an orange nerf football.
 
Feed the Birds
Wild birds in your neighborhood would really appreciate some food and in return, they will repay you in more ways than you can count.
 
Go on a Winter Walk
Bundle up and go on a winter walk in a park or in your neighborhood. Although the world looks asleep, look hard and you will find lots of things going on. How about a cup of hot chocolate when you come back!
