Snow Day = Joe Day

Does anything make this kid happier than an afternoon of snowboarding? I honestly don’t think so. It was so gorgeous Sunday afternoon (yesterday). We needed to be outside. No photo retouching necessary. So. Much. Sunlight.

We have a little construction zone going on, courtesy of Will’s backyard.

Here’s the view from the top of the ramp.

And for scale, here is what the boys have been working on.

For what you ask?

This.

Here’s another one for you guys.

Should we take you on a tour of the park?

Come on up!

Watch your step, please. This is not structurally sound.

To the left, you’ll see boxes, shovels, and a snowblower

And over to the right, you’ll notice a rail

If you’re wondering what we’re standing upon – This.

A bunch of juice pallets and pieces of plywood held together for this makeshift deck/ramp.

Yep, we’re standing on pear juice boxes. Mmmm, juicy.

Anyway, back to the jump. Looks mighty fluffy down there.

And there’s more work to do downstairs

Like this!

He’s packing a transfer table while the snow is still pliable.

Once it’s packed, you take the plywood out. And just like magic, it’s a table top.

So here’s the finished product:

Perfect for riding. Front or backside.

So how ’bout let’s see that rail, eh Joe

Slowpoke.

The snow is getting a little melty here, but tomorrow the course will freeze. So you’ve asked what Joe’s been doing. Here is his masterpiece. We’ll be seeing more of the snowboard ramp I’m sure. He’s also fixed his snowmobile so maybe we’ll have some adventures on the trail. As early as next weekend.

What a winter wonderland we live in!
