January–snow caves with the scouts

Yes, I am actually updating the blog monthly now! We’ll see how long it lasts...

Anyway, it was a beautiful day when we took our 11 year old scouts over to Mount Hood to build snow caves.

Brother Jentzsch built a fort next to a tree, and the rest of us just dug into the hill and built some pretty impressive caves. It was a practice to prepare the boys for the day when they actually sleep in one – a different experience altogether.

 

 

Of course, the best part was destroying them!

 

And it was a gorgeous view – especially when the sun began to set and throw shadows across the snow.
