Last night dad talked about when he was young and papa used to build a sled chute in the back yard of there house on West 52nd Street. SO this morning, dad when out and piled up some more snow on the deck (he said there was alot already) and made a little chute. Before we went down, mom took our picture.
Jacob got to be the test subject, after a little bit of wiggling, he made it to the bottom.
Now it was my turn, I had to wiggle a little bit too.
Remember the big hole that dad made by jumping into the snow, well I thought it would be fun to crawl into it.
I needed some helpin' to get out. it was bigger than me.
Jacob took his turn in the hole too.
Dad grabbed the shovel and a bucket and dug out the hole and made it a tunnel to the driveway.
There's been several stories on the news about kids out playing getting stuck when a tunnel or fort collapsed, so dad used some plywood to reinforce the top.
I really like using the tunnel instead of walking all the way around and through the garage. It's much easier to get to the backyard now.
Jacob really like crawling through the tunnel, he tried to sneak up on dad, but got caught.
Whew, we had fun playing, but it's time to go in and eat lunch. We're supposed to get another 3 inches of snow, and it just started as we were going inside to warm up.
