We live in a very, very rainy region-very rainy. This year I'm determined to get outside more with the kids during the winter months and I've done it in the past but not to the extent I want to this year.
It is either a major down pour or very fine misty rain. It even hailed today already. All my kids have boots and coats (finally) and want to go outside. The issue is in 5 min. they will more then totally soaked, cold and wet. We also get very cold winds here (right off the snow mountains) but no one wear snow suits, heavy coats, things like that. Pretty much everyone stays inside all winter.
So how do you get kids outside when they are just cold, wet and miserable after about 5 min. maybe 10 at the most. I think I heard maybe 6 in. of rain this week!
