I took Olivia, Emerson and Lily out for a snow play day! Snow doesn't stick around very long when it does fall, so we take all the chances we can get to enjoy it!

I rlly wanna go camping, but like in a degrading way, take me on an isolated trail, strip my clothes off except for a collar, make me walk and pee on all fours, tell me im a good girl and pet me when you take a break, let me roll about, get all muddy then go paddling, and when night falls, tie me up outside so i can huddle by the fire for warmth, the rope just a lil too short to be able to reach your tent.

Lets not forget people didn't call CPS for dumb shit like "2 ten year olds on bikes riding down the street by themselves" because they were going to their other friend's house. Or get the police on you with "There are 10 kids on the street! With weapons! They are chanting and shouting! They all have bats/hockey sticks/nerf or water guns!" Because you either scare the parents or at worse your kid will be taken away from you....one way or another.

Also you didn't have massive vanity pick up trucks or tall as fuck SUVs where they have a 5-10 feet front blind spot. And because they have that blind spot, its harder to see a kid crossing or standing in the street.

Or shit like fentanyl or xylazine roaming around. Yeah we had pot or heroin to worry about in my time, but if I noticed one thing its, the government keeps banning and criminalizing and the drugs get stronger.

And the giant lack of outdoor knowledge by the parents that just assume all outdoor things are bad. I had students who were afraid to touch acorns incase there was something that could bite them or give them a rash, or dirty their pockets.

On the coldest winter days, the wide and shallow Canyon Creek freezes over and becomes the very best place to go ice skating! Olivia brought along her purple skates and her new best friend Marietta, who had never been skating before. Marietta was a bit unsteady at first and fell down a few times, but with Olivia's help she got right back up on her feet.

The creek is tucked away in a beautiful, hidden, steep-sided canyon that offers plenty of quiet solitude. It can be tricky to catch the ice at the perfect time and condition--when it's not been too snowy or too warm. It has become a favorite place for my dolls and me.

After skating for a few hours, the two girls went indoors and warmed up by the fireplace with mugs of hot cocoa.

Marietta and Olivia are both Starpath dolls. Ice skates are American Girl brand. Marietta's pompom hat, maple leaf scarf, leggings, and mittens are by Maplelea. Her sweater was made by me. Olivia's purple shirt, jacket, and headband are by Starpath. Her gray leggings were made by me. Her mittens are by Maplelea and her scarf is by AG.

Outdoor play is more than just fun—it’s essential for a child’s cognitive and physical development. From running around the playground to exploring nature, these activities significantly impact young minds and bodies. In fact, incorporating outdoor play into the daily routine of children enrolled in child care services in East Orange, New Jersey, can lead to remarkable developmental benefits.

Why Go Out to Play? Today’s children spend half as much time playing outdoors as their parents did—a trend seen worldwide. Concerns about safety, limited access to green spaces (especially in urban areas), and the lure of screens are reducing children’s connection to nature. But the benefits of outdoor play are profound. Spending more time outdoors boosts physical health, enhances social-emotional wellbeing, and supports cognitive and academic learning. Research even suggests that engaging with nature can improve children’s language and communication skills—essential for their development, education, and future opportunities.
