There was still some leftover snow on the ground today, so Troy and I decided to go outside and play in it again before it melted. At first, we attempted to scrape together enough snow to build a snowman, but somewhere along the way, it morphed into a snow mountain instead. So, I got the bright idea to hollow it out and make it a snowcano. When we were done, we had a three-foot high mini volcano.
But Troy wasn’t satisfied with merely building it, he wanted to knock it down as well. So, he got a running start, took off at full speed, slammed into the side of the snowcano, bounced off, and sat there stunned. He didn’t even make a dent in it. After several attempts to no avail, I decided to give it a go as well. Unfortunately, I miscalculated both the resiliency of the structure and the force my extra body weight would generate. The snowcano gave easily under my onslaught, and I went flying feet over head off the top of it, and I face planted into the ground…just as my wife took a picture to preserve that moment for all eternity.
