After church today, the kids and I headed outside to play. It was a perfect winter day - fresh snow mixed with enough sun to having good packing snow.
We piled as much snow as we could underneath our swingset and the kids proceeded to launch off of it while I took pictures. My camera's got some great features for taking high speed pictures, so I messed around with those and got some cool action shots.
We were having a fun snowball fight until Maddie got Nate at close range....
And Nate turned around and pelted her in the side of the face from 2 feet away.
We then headed out to the woods and spent about a half hour building a pretty cool fort, we called Fort Kurt (okay, it was cool for us).
Maddie had a found a big crevice in the woods behind our house and Nate, Emily and I piled branches around it to wall it off. Nate wanted to try and set up some kind of booby trap to catch a deer which was a great idea, in theory. The plans were big, but we couldn't make it happen like it does in the cartoons.
We played some more as Emily came up with a game to see who could slide the farthest off the slide, and then headed in where Cathie had hot choclate waiting for all of us. I posted the pictures in our family photo gallery here.
