Dad builds the best winter fort ever

We went up to Grampy and Grandma's house in January. When we got there, the ground was already covered in snow, and then we got another foot of beautiful powder. On Sunday, we went sledding, and then Dad and the kids built a snow fort that was easily 30 feet long. It's hard to describe, but fortunately we have videos!

It took three hours to build the snow fort, especially since Dad was the only adult working on it. He started the pile of snow using a snow blower, then made it higher using a shovel. Then he dug through it using a hand hoe and a roof rake.

The first video was taken near the end of construction. Ralphie names the fort "Five Star Way" because it had five openings--one on one end, two on the other end, and one on either side.



The second video shows Ruby sledding through:



And finally, my favorite--a video from the inside:



They were out there for hours! Theo is built just like his dad. He never seems to get cold or get tired of the snow, even if he gets a big spray of it on his face while going down a big hill on a sled.
