Wouldn't it be fun to create an escape for you and your family during this dreary winter pandemic season? Well, that's exactly what this one creative family did, and you won't believe what they came up with together.
Here I am complaining about going outside to get some exercise, and they're embracing the cold Canadian winter like no other.
But, they didn't want to spend their entire winter indoors during the pandemic. Instead, they came up with the most interesting idea I have ever heard of — they built a colorful, outdoor igloo.
This awesome family built an igloo, just like traditional Inuit families do. Doesn't that sound like a fun project that the whole family would enjoy? It sure does to me!
And the best part of it is that it only cost them $25. Whoa, I never would have guessed that. What about you? Who knew it could be so dang cheap?
It actually took the family about 50 hours to build it over a month and a half. So it was a pretty ambitious endeavor, to say the least. Oh, my!
Wow, that sounds like it would take a long time. And sometimes, the ice ended up just exploding at some points in the freezing cold. Yikes!
Then, there were also issues with the food coloring they used to make the igloos look very festive and colorful.
In fact, Tyler would like to travel up north to see how indigenous people build igloos in the Arctic. I think that would be so fascinating to see for yourself.
They also set up a mini ice rink and a decorative inukshuk. Tyler even plans to sleep overnight with his son in the igloo.
I don't know if I could ever embark on creating something as elaborate as this, but I sure do appreciate this family's amazing effort.
