Snow Tunnel Building

We were at the cabin and there was tons of snow. We decided to go build a snow tunnel outside on the edge of the cabin. The ice was thick and snow was treacherous to get through we used shovels, hammers, racks, a hatched and a pot to get rid of the snow and ice for our tunnel. Adam and Meagan started at one end of the tunnel and Aaron and I started at the other end. A little side note: the day before we went downhill snow skiing and I wasn’t that sore but from shoveling snow my arms were killing me! Not only was it hard to shovel snow and ice but it was a really warm day outside and the sun was shinning. When we got a little ways into the tunnel, we started kicking through the ice and snow until finally both ends were connected, in celebration of our efforts we opened a bottle of sparkling apple cider, well at least attempted, we didn’t have a bottle opener so my lovely husband tried opening it with the hatched…it took a little longer. After a few touch ups in the tunnel, making the area bigger and getting rid of some more snow and ice, we all got out except for Adam he was still touching up a few more things when half of the tunnel collapsed on Adam who luckily had a helmet on because his wonderful fiancé insisted he wear one (hip hip hooray for little Meagan!) he was alright. After our hard work we didn’t even really get to enjoy it, the sad part is guess who’s side of the tunnel collapsed? Let’s just say Aaron and I are not skilled snow tunnel builders.
