About two weeks ago or so, they were back at it. Building another quinsy. Actually, it is more like a fort, but quinsy sounds way more cool. And I'm all about cool. Eric did most of the grunt work, but the kids helped out a fair bit.
Apparently this is very hard work. Mia needed a little breather.
Cade used a bottle of water, with a hole put in the cap, to squirt out water onto the structure. And old ketchup bottle, with a hole already in place, was used too. But it is way better (and cooler) to make your own. Water turned to ice and made it nice and solid!
I suppose I should really take a picture of the final product. They even made a sliding door with a piece of plywood. Pretty sweet. I mean cool.
For the last little while it was looking a little gnarly and it has been quite mild and so everything gets soft and mushy. But today we have had a full day of solid snowing (no blizzard - not a hard snow, unfortunately) so now it will have a nice fresh layer of beautiful white powder on it. Lovely.
