Once there was a snowman

Chad and the other kids (he he) played in the snow on New Year's Day. It was prime stay-off-the-roads-and-make-a-snowman snow. I don't think they quite knew what kind of trouble they were getting themselves into.

The snowballs got so big that Chad had to get the BIG ladder and use it as a ramp to stack them.

Here is their snowman with Nathan's hat and Leah's mittens. Chad estimated him to be about 10 feet high.


Here is the poor fellow yesterday. The weather was a little too warm for him and he slowly tipped over. I don't think I've ever seen such a limber snowman! He went a little farther before eventually going too far. Chad said the head got the brunt of the damage. He's fallen and he can't get up. I'll bet it's much colder in heaven.
