The snow fort

With all the snow the kids had a fabulous time building forts in the piles of snow. This kids spent hours upon hours out digging and shoveling. I was amazed at how large it was when I went out. They probably had 15 feet of tunnels. Even the dogs liked wiggling through the snow fort.

We were able to build a snowman one day but the snow was so heavy we were unable to make our snow man standing up so Logan had the brilliant idea to make a sleeping snowman. The only problem was that the dogs kept eating the snowman's body parts! Emily decided to make a snow bed.








A field...flooded
The river is beyond the tree line, this field gets flooded frequently

So the snow has finally melted and the spring thaw has begun. The thaw led to lots of flooding and a very muddy yard! Of course the warmer temperatures have left and more snow is coming tonight. We are all very ready for spring. It has been a long winter!!
