First Fall/Winter Walk

The weather has been strange here in Missouri. We've had a really rainy October with a lot of really big temperature swings. Today it started off sunny and in the high 60s but by mid-afternoon we had gray skies and low 50s. Ainsley still really wanted to go for a walk though. So after what seemed like 30 minutes of preparation, we went out for the same length walk.

Fall raincoats and winter hats/mittens. I haven't quite gotten to the winter coat stage yet, but we are close. Andrew was not a fan of all the extra gear, not that you could tell by this picture.

Ainsley loves walking with her dog Bolt. Usually Bolt is in a doll stroller, today we kept him warm by carrying him. I would not be surprised if he got a dog jacket yet this winter and a Christmas present. He goes everywhere with us, absolutely everywhere.

Rosy cheeks, red noses, and cold hands when we got home. I need to stock up on some hot chocolate and marshmallows, Ainsleys drink of choice on days like this. (Sometimes, I think it's the whole premise for going on a walk in the first place.)
