Snow fort

The other day JR helped the boys start a snow fort. They have had a great time going out and trying to make it higher. The thing is, we need some more snow (hopefully coming tomorrow) before much more progress is made. But I sure like how they have been using team work to get it built.

In that first picture, yes, that is a canoe hanging on the fence. A recent acquisition. One of the perks of JRs job is that he manages 2 different properties in a resort community. One of the properties is higher end condos and the owners have some very nice things. JR hits it off with all of them, so they pass their 'leftovers' to us for us to either use, sell or whatever we want to do with them, as long as we haul them off. This canoe is $1100 one seater canoe that is supposedly pretty fast on the river. Not the most ideal with small kids so hopefully we can sell it and get something more accomodating for the kids and our summer enjoyment.

One of the other things we recently got was this....pretty nice (although JR must be doing some work on the cabinet door). Actually if I was able to pick out a cabinet at a furniture store, this is exactly what I would buy!


And the latest thing he brought home, was actually from a friend moving that did not want to mess with moving it (I am sure JR has already started designing a box for this for whenever we move...)


The only bad thing with the fish and the elk (the one he just shot) european mount is that our ceilings are so short, that we don't really have a good spot to hang them. The bottom fish is about 32 inches.
