Looking for ways to keep the kids busy and stay active now that the holidays are over and the weather has turned cold? Or just hoping to burn off those extra helpings of Aunt Shirley’s stuffing or Grandma’s fudge?
The good news is we’ve got all kinds of winter activities close by — your choice of indoors or out. Here are a couple of my favorites and I invite you to share yours. All the best for an active and healthy 2012!
