We are getting ready for some snow in Milton! My kids have been asking for weeks and are beyond excited! We are lucky to live in an area with so many great hills, golf courses, and schools and that make playing outside so fun and easy. Here are our top, local pics for skating and sledding, and hanging out outside all winter long. Bundle up and make some hot chocolate, we are ready for ya, snow!
