Yesterday, the kids played with a few leftover snow bricks. There were not nearly enough bricks to build an igloo, but in their minds, everything is possible. Today, nothing in the world could have motivate them to go sledding – they were determined to “finish the igloo”. So we went back to Pier 5 again, prepared with instant brick making tools: four large food containers<\/a>, one for each family member. Unfortunately, somebody had already destroyed yesterday’s structure, so we had to start from scratch. To make a brick, one has to fill the container with a huge surplus of snow, then push the lid down to compact the mound into the shape of the actual container. Pop it out and repeat.<\/em> It took us well under an hour to build our snow fort, but the bricks were a bit too dry and crumbly to attempt a closed igloo shape. The kids had a blast nonetheless, playing “Eskimo House” and fighting us in an epic snowball battle. They were no match for Sung though, who took out Mika with a ball precisely thrown into the little gap she was peeking out of. Tough love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
