The Last Days of Beau's Snow Fort

Tempuratures hit the 50s today, and the snow is melting fast. Most of the snow if gone from the playing fields (which is good because Casey's Birthday Olympics party is on Saturday). Where the snow is piled up, it melts more slowly, but even so, Beau's snow fort will soon be only a memory. He tells me that the name of the fort is Helm's Deep (apparently this is something from Lord of the Rings). The fort has been a neighborhood project, keeping the neighbor kids busy for a week of the pre-dinner hours -- they alternately worked at building up the fort and using it for snowball fights.



Here is Beau lurking in his fort.
