Snow Fun

How to shake the Winter Blues by building a Snow Fort

Oh them cold, snowy winter days, aren’t they wonderful! Do you find yourself going outside in the snow and having fun or are you one of them folks that sits inside, wishing that spring would come quickly. No matter how much you wish, you cannot rush the seasons, but there is no sense in sitting inside brooding, and becoming a victim of the winter blues either.

Ok, so it’s been snowing and there’s a few inches of packable snow on the ground, now lets get bundled up and go outside. You don’t need to have a spouse, and you don’t need to have any children, but if you do, then bundle then up and go outside together. You played in the snow as a child, so whose to say you still cannot have fun as an adult. If you have a spouse, have them go outside with you, the two of you can have some great fun together. If you have children who love playing in the snow, this is a great way to do some parent to child bonding together, and the fun moments you spend together with your young children will stay in their minds all their lives.

Once you and if anyone else that is with you is bundled up against the winter cold, go outside and start building a snow fort. Start out like you do when making a snowman, only instead of making a large ball of snow, make it smaller and more block or cubed shaped. One great item that can be used for making these snow blocks, is a small plastic pan, or a bread loaf pan. Once the pans are packed with snow, you can dump them out and you will have nice bricks or cubes of packed snow.

Simply select an area of the yard where you want to place your fort and start building it up. Just make the sides, and leave an open area for the door. Do not attempt to build a roof, to do so can be dangerous, and I will not be help responsible for any accidents or worse that occurs do to some dummy attempting to do so. You and any family members can have some great fun making a snow fort. I used to love making them when I was a child, and there is no reason not to have fun just because a person grows older, but then again, I do not suffer from the winter blues like some people do. There you are, now you have an easy and fun activity that can be done many times this winter season to help shake the winter blues.
