Marshmallow Igloo

When I was six, we made an igloo in the yard one snowy winter. It was big enough that four of us could fit inside. We hung photos inside on the walls and I pretended there was a tiny fire where we could roast marshmallows, the swirls of smoke swirling out of the non-existent chimney.  

I don't enjoy spending hours outside in the cold anymore, especially surrounded by snow. But I still love igloos. So yesterday, as the snow fell outside, we had an awesome time making an igloo inside.
