Igloo

There's a big pile of snow in the back yard. It just kind of builds up around here. It's not going anywhere until it gets a bit warmer.



So the boy decides to dig a bit of a hole in the pile.



Instant igloo :-)



We didn't have a flag handy, but we did have a koala and a stubbie cooler :-)



The igloo even had a window.



The driveway had a bit of a build up of snow and ice, so I decided to get rid of it.
It was about 20cm thick, and chopped nicely into bricks which Delle, Addie and Cayde carried to the igloo. Actually, no longer an igloo but an ICE FORTRESS!





So once the bricks were laid we packed them with snow and then poured some water on them. In the morning they were set solid.

Definitely not OZ! Although i have done the "jump in the snow" trick in Perisher Valley. I was pregnant with Howie at the time, and couldn't get out. The snow tow operator couldn't understand why when I asked for help, until he saw "the bump".

Did it have a 'loo'? Otherwise it is just an 'Ig' I am told. mumf
