Reason 999 not to wear a coat in January in Maine

The girls know how to dress for our outdoor adventures but when we're in and out of the car during the day there are multiple reasons why a winter coat in January is unnecessary. This was one of the more creative reasons I've been told recently.

"It gets in the way and I'm not cold when I'm hoola hooping!!"



And when the kids are desperate to play in the snow, they will settle for whatever winter-like stuff they can find. It's amazing how a patch of ice can entertain a group of kids for more than a half hour.
