Can't get enough outside time now

Now that there is snow the kids want to be out all the time it seems. Often a few other kids from the neighborhood join in the mix. They've built forts out of sleds, forts out of snowbanks, gone sledding, rolled around.....for hours.

Charlie is very well suited for the snow. His fur is thick and apparently keeps him very warm and his feet aren't sensitive at all. He stays out for long periods of time and even just lays in a snowbank and chews on a stick.
