snow day

 

Okay. Not really a snow day, in the sense of a vacation thanks to snow, but a day spent in the snow is nonetheless a "snow day" I think. Dylan and Tyler came over, and we had a snowball fight (see picture above) and attempted to build a snowman, which turned into a snow-horse instead (see to the left). I think it turned out pretty decent. And it's eye is a piece of baking chocolate (which tastes great on its own, by the way). Later in the evening we decided to make the biggest snowball possible, and we did this by taking a regular snow-ball (the size of one's fist) and rolling it through the snow for about twenty minutes. The end result is legitimately the biggest snowball I've ever seen. You won't be able to throw it (it weighs a metaphorical ton; it took three of us to push it through the snow), but it's long-lasting: I estimate it won't be gone 'till at least late March. It's going to take a LOT of warmth to melt that sucker. Take a look:
