Day 24 - Build a Snow Fort

“I love snow for the same reason I love Christmas: It brings people together while time stands still. Cozy couples lazily meandered the streets and children trudged sleds and chased snowballs. No one seemed to be in a rush to experience anything other than the glory of the day, with each other, whenever and however it happened.” 
― Rachel Cohn,


Today we built a snow fort.  My brilliant husband's plan.

We started by snowplowing all the snow in the back yard into a huge pile. You can't see how tall it in in the picture, but it's almost 5 feet tall.












Here is the crew that hollowed out the inside.  It's got a shelf for a candle and it's tall enough the boys can stand up in it.

You really have to crouch down to get into the door.  And then you can barely get your shoulders through.  So the inside heats up pretty nice.  We had to make a spot for the little one to play. It has a bridge and everything!
