Springtime Snowman

So one would think that living in Utah that we would have a lot of days to enjoy "The Greatest Snow On Earth"  Well this year, not so much! There have only been a few storms that actually had snow that stuck around, and even at that it rarely lasted more than a day or so. I even bought all the kids new snow boots and they didn't even get used! In fact the snow clothes are still up in the attic.  The kids were delighted the other day when the temperatures warmed up so they could play outside and there was still a little snow left to build a snowman.  As you can see, it was a bit of a stretch to gather enough snow and it was melting quick! Nevertheless, they built a very cute snowman!

The snowman had a bit of a lean, so Lexi was holding him up with her knee!

Gavin wasn't sure what the cold white stuff was, but he had to get in on the fun!

They were so proud!

 Notice that Kamryn was the only one with gloves, she wouldn't even give one of them up to Lexi...she said, " I think you need to go get your own, I don't want my hands to get cold!"

Here he is!  They used leaves for the eyes and mouth, and sticks for the arms and nose.  Sadly he melted away within a couple hours, but it was a great way to cure some cabin fever!
