More Winter Fun

We were blessed with yet another winter storm over the last couple of days. We got about 14 inches of new snow. Ben was in charge of the activity for Family Home Evening last night and decided that he wanted to build a snow cave. Our neighbors made one a few weeks ago, and he thought it was pretty cool. Nate really did all of the work while the kids played. They used spray bottles with colored water to "decorate" the snow piles for a while, and then they were on a quest to knock every icicle off of the house. With a little help from their mom, they were successful. They used their "crystals" to make a cool, Superman-inspired, sculpture. This was the first winter adventure where Abby joined us for the whole time. She was a trooper and did pretty good out there in the cold with us.
