In short, we have fun. Things *are* different from Big City life, but we do more with less stress and greater happiness.
Although it’s still Autumn, we have a few inches of snow on the ground that probably will be with us ’til Spring. Hubby recently helped a friend put away hundreds of bales of hay for winter & revved up his snowblower. The kids have been rocking their snow suits for some time now & I have a mini snow shovelling team (it’s a great calming activity that keeps them busy). My only wish is that my double stroller had snow tires
So although we’re still busy outdoors, we’re up for indoor activities.
We are busy at school events & movie nights (featuring pizza, popcorn & Turbo!); library events (birds of prey shows or native species demos); visits to friends & family; parties & potlucks or just inviting friends over for brunch.
Hubby remarked the other day that we’re way more social in our Smalltown life than a city surrounded by millions of people. I say it’s because we actually have the time.
Here’s a clip of a recent outing to an indoor carnival. Yes, that’s Hubby inside the bouncy castle with Mr S!
