The boys spent all day out sledding the hill out back. In Maine you do not have to go far to have fun.

Remember to dress in layers, move if you get cold, take off layers if you get hot to avoid sweating, and invest in good clothes. By invest I don't mean spend a fortune. You can find great end of season sales and get great quality without paying for a good name brand.

Single most important thing is to make sure you dont have cotton on touching the skin. Not everyone knows this, I assume most that grew up here or in northern climates do, but I grew up in Subtropical place and had no idea until 2 years ago.

I included that in a post I wrote for a family moving from TX to northern Maine in March of last year, and you'd think I'd slapped someone. She had a head fit. She can wear cotton if she wants to... It's important and people do need to know. Apparently don't have to like doing what's best for their save but important to know.
