And along a similar theme… we live on a cul de sac. This is the pile of dirty snow at the end of our street that is dumped there by the snow plow because there is no where else on the side of the street to put it…



All the kids on our street like to play in it…. (note Sebastian sliding down… it makes a good slide)


This is Sebastian making it to the top


He almost gave me a heart attack yesterday walking along the top like this…






I didn’t notice until I uploaded my pics but check out Jacob, the “kamikaze kid” jumping off the back of the snow pile….
