winter snow fort

I was looking at old photos from last year and stumbled across this photo I took while we were creating our winter fort.  We get tons of snow in the winter where I live and though at times it can get ridiculously cold, we do also have those days where we get outside for long stretches.  This fort was created during a mild stretch and our sons just loved it.  We also discovered that trampolines can be quite useful during winter to keep a "snow roof" from collapsing on little children.  That wouldn't be very good at all.
