“There’s not much to do when it’s cold out. We don’t really wanna get out when its cold out.”

As for Elana, she’s staying firmly on ground level.

“I like going to the park, going on scooters and my hoverboard and that’s really all,” Elana said.

Moffett said he’s enjoying the warmth as much as he can before it cools off again.
