Snow Fort

It was a wonderfully 'warm' day out, so I asked Mark to come play in the snow with me. We spent most of Emberly's nap outside building in the snow. I made a snowman-which looked more like a lion while Mark started on our snow fort. I came and helped when my snow lion was complete. The angle of the pictures makes it appear as though the fort is not really in our yard, but more than half of the fort is. We extended it into the neighbor's yard as well for a couple reasons. First, it wouldn't have been near as cool. Second, we have been shoveling for them when we can and this is our service fee.

The fort is just under 5 feet tall. It's pretty much the most amazing thing on the block. We even got to use it when Phil - a youth leader- showed up to church during the building phase. It is a great fort.

Next winter the plan is to build two forts. One on each side of the sidewalk to the house so we can have snowball fights.
