Snow Fort

I remember as a kid loving it when it snowed outside. My sisters and I would go outside and spend all day building snowmen or snow forts. The only thing about snow forts though was how long they took to actually build. By the time you finished your fort you were either to tired to play in it, to cold, or it was getting to dark outside and you had to go in. Well, in AK that story is different.



Neal spent the afternoon watching the snow plows come through and build up the best "snow fort" ever. That's right the plows push all the snow into the middle of the cull-de-sac and create this huge mountain of snow that makes the best fort! So even though it was only 5 degrees outside Neal and Tyler bundled up and went out to play in the newly built fort. Neal had a blast, filling his bucket with snow, climbing the fort, eating lots and lots of snow and just tromping around in the fresh powder. His cousins even came out to play with him and they all had a great time.


I on the other hand had a great time watching them play from inside the warm house - with a cup of coffee in my hands.

Eventually though like all snow days it was time to come in and get warmed up. There were a few tears of sadness to leave his snow fort but his cold little red cheeks definitely tell me it was time to come inside, at least until tomorrow...
