When one lives in Wisconsin you only really have a few choices, like sit inside and wait for the cold to pass or figure out a way get outside and enjoy. Since I really do not do well with sitting still and the "official" start of winter is right around the corner let's take a little peek at five of my favorite winter time things...that occur outside.
1. Snowshoeing
My little bro got me snowshoes last Christmas and I love them. Like cross country skiing except you can get more places.
2. Running

Sorry folks running isn't just for summer, spring and fall. Running in the winter is so much more interesting...plus it is hard to overheat.
3. Tubing/Sledding
Sledding is fun since it is free and close to home. Tubing is awesome too though especially since there is no walking up the huge hill you just flew down.
4. Cross Country Skiing
The quiet that you get in the middle of the woods in Winter is seriously amazing.
5. Winter Nighthike with a bonfire
Every year our Horicon marsh visitor center puts on this event. Intriguing to walk around during the stillness of a winter night and then be treated to a bonfire.
And I can say that all of this is a legit excuse to consume large quantities of hot chocolate and chili.
Now let's bring on winter (officially that is)
