When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When the weather dumps a foot of snow on the artificial turf, make giant snowballs!

We took full advantage of the snowy conditions on Friday afternoon. Jason, Dustin, Michael and a whack of kids marched out to the the field to confront the giant balls of snow that the high school kids must have rolled up. The balls were already taller than the children, but that wasn't big enough! So we rolled them until they were challenging for even the the leaders to climb onto.

The children also made new giant snowballs of their own. Then the idea was hatched to roll the balls next to one another, to create a sort of staircase, but that wasn't good enough! So we rolled the giant snow balls into a ring formation, creating a snow fort. Some children worked hard at reinforcing the walls and filling the gaps, while others immediately preoccupied themselves with climbing upon the walls.




The leaders had a blast. And we know the kids had a blast because of the complaints we heard when we had to head inside.


Until the next epic snowfall,

Dustin
