Snow Much Fun!

     Well, it is March, and we finally got some real snow!  Enough snow to go out and play in!  I went out to shovel snow, and ended up reliving my childhood love of making snow caves.  I can still remember one snow cave in particular that I made as I child.  It felt absolutely palatial to me then.  I am sure  it was the size of a molehill, but I loved it and it brings back fond memories, complete with that warm and cozy feeling of coming inside to get warm and drink hot cocoa!  Ahhh...
Anyway!  Here is my sweet three year old helping me out with the work to be done, only he seems to be shoveling the grass instead of the sidewalk, details!

 After doing what had to be done, Carter and I got down to the real business at hand and started working on our snow cave, conveniently made up of the pile of snow from the driveway.  I just knew it was going to be huge and my kids would be amazed at my snow cave building prowess. Meanwhile, Tyler and Sam were building these excellent snow people!

After working for some time, building and hollowing and sculpting, this is what Carter and I ended up with.  Not quite the palace I had imagined, and it ended up with a little "window" that wasn't really in the plans, but Carter could kind of fit in it!

 Eventually Spencer came along and made it much better!

All-in-all, the perfect snow playing day!
