Snow day.

Today me and my brother played out in the backyard in the snow. It doesn’t snow often in North Carolina where I live when I’m writing this. Have you ever built a snow fort? Well, it’s not that easy. If you’ve ever tried it takes forever by hand, so that’s why I and my brother formulated a plan to make a structurally sound snow structure. To do that first get a bowl, any size, any color, circular, square, you name it. Then fill the bowl to the brim with snow, Make sure to stuff as much as you can to make it nice and thick. Once you’ve done that, hold the sides of the bowl, like you’re carrying food, and flip it over. Flip it over and let it lay on the ground for a bit. Then remove the bowl. If that doesn’t work, tap the top a few times and it should come out. If that doesn’t work shake the bowl or aggressively tap it until it comes out. If it breaks, just try again.

By using that process, me and my brother built half a whole Igloo, probably because my brother just kept asking me to help on his side of the fort. Side tip: If there is more than one person building with you, split the Igloo into sides for each person to work in.

Soon, me and my brother built a huge fort, only half of it though, because my mom got mad that we were out for too long.

Before we left the fort for good my mom took pictures sadly that would be the start of the end.

We went inside the fort, sat down inside, and posed for a picture. But we didn’t know that we could not lean on the snow.

We leaned on the snow and the whole thing collapsed.

You know why I told you to make the snow thick? Because if you drop it, the snow does not break. So when our fort broke, the snow bricks didn’t, and we were able to have a snowball fight, except the snowballs were way bigger, they were snow bricks. That was one of the best times of my life, except for the fact my brother threw snow bricks, smack at my face, eight times.
