Here in Michigan it gets really cold in the Winter months. They also seem to last so much longer then the summer months. If you have little kids, by the time summer gets here you are probably about ready to pull your hair out. Kids need time to be kids. They need to run, jump and play. If you are like me, most of these things are not aloud in the house, they are outside things only. I have found some really neat places that allow your children to run, scream and play. They are fairly cheep and very much worth the money. Your kids will have a blast and be tired at night, giving you a peaceful night.
