Way Cool ~ literally

OK. Today's "To do" list: Build Igloo!

We watched the "how to" video. Decided we would make a 10 ft diameter igloo. Grabbed the shovels and went to work.

This handy dandy little block maker is called the "Ice Box".

Caleb Hudson and Weston filled the box with snow.

Now all we need is a few penguins and polar bears. (hmm...maybe NOT the polar bears!)
