Snow Fort

As you may have heard, we have had a large amount of snow in Massachusetts over the last few weeks. The week before last, it took David over 5 hours to drive in home in a blizzard. He has decided this will probably be the last winter in a rear wheel drive car.

This last Thursday, the town once again canceled school due to snow. As you could imagine, Rachel was ecstatic. She and her neighbor friends found a house half way down the street to build a really cool snow fort. They avoided building it over any of their yards so that everyone had an equal walk to get there.

Every opportunity they get, Ben and Rachel head off down the street to build more and slide down the face of the fort.

Our neighbor have been really nice to let them play there. In fact, one of them used his snow blower to help the kids gather up more snow.

The snow fort actually has more than 3 slides : )

Ben's fun hat actually changes color in the cold. ↓

Sadly, they have to come home at some point. Here is Ben heading back, soon to drop all his wet clothes on the floor to frustrate his Dad. ↓↑

It is good to be young. : )
