Well, they have done it again. This time we were smarter and recruited more help for the igloo building extravaganza. With much team effort, okay really Byron, Chortney and Carter worked, everyone else had fun playing in the snow; they build another amazing igloo.
It took about four hours. I came over occasionally to take photos. My lead roll was hot-chocolate maker or any coming back to the house to warm up. We used every mug in the house. In the photo above Byron is doing his warm-up dance.
Look at those looks of accomplishment. It isn't everyday you build an igloo. It was pretty humid in there once you filled it with warm bodies. Also it does stay above freezing which is saying a lot since it has been below zero a few nights lately. Byron runs across the street to do temperature checks occasionally. He is doing research for future igloo builds.
To my utter astonishment and amazement this igloo has been slept in twice. Byron, Carter, Tyler and Ali all spent a night in it. Ali made it until about 3:30 and then Byron brought her home. The boys slept in until about 9:30. I was about ready to walk over and see if they had frozen to death during the night.
Chortney, Chandler and Nathaniel also spent a night in the igloo. They all made it until around 6:30 when they staggered in for hot chocolate.
Impressive work gentlemen and little lady!
You will not find me sleeping in an igloo across the street from my warm electric-blanket heated bed. I am glad they had a good time though. Seems like a once in a lifetime event to me but Byron is planning their back country igloo experience.
