If you have snow and a lot of it...then you better learn how to have fun with it! That is what we have been attempting to do with all the snow we have been living with! While in Idaho, Stan built a huge sledding hill for us - and the whole family was out there using it! It was fun for all! Then, when we got back home and realized that our snow not only didn't melt away, but compacted into ice...Clay thought....hmm..these would make great ice forts...and so Clay and CJ went to work. They built a snow fort in the back yard, and boy was it impressive. It was about 8 feet high and looked really neat...however, it didn't last long. Actually, we timed it just right...one whole side literally fell down on top of us right after we snapped the picture of us in front of it. Poor Clay. But, before you start to feel sorry for the man, let's finish the story... the next day, the boys went to work again, but this time in the FRONT yard. We have a nice, solid fort (that is still completely standing 24 hours later!) in our yard that all the neighbor boys love to come and play at...not to mention all the cars slow down to stare... well - we are known now - we have the ice castle in our yard! Clay uses it as a shield as he chucks snow balls at the neighbor boys! What a kid...and that's why we love him!
