We got about 7-8 inches of snow this week so Jonny and I decided to get out there and make some snow sculptures.
I've always been annoyed at how unimaginative people can be when playing in the snow; regular old snowmen and their families, regular old snow forts, regular old snowball fights... well Jonny and I go for the more interesting creations:
Like a SnowThrone! I made this one by myself out of our patented SnowBricks (TM, R, C). It's about 6 1/2 feet tall! In case you're wondering, a SnowBrick is when you take a crate/box/hollow rectangle thingy, fill it with snow, pack the snow down hard, then flip the crate over and and lift it off the snow inside. What you're left with is a rock-hard rectangular piece of compacted snow!
... and down the other!
And... A SnowStairs (also made of SnowBricks)! Up one side of the fence...
... and down the other!Here's a video of me climbing/decending the stairs:
I'm wearing sandals because I didn't want to go through all the trouble of putting on my boots.
Well, that's all for now. I hope this has given you plenty of ideas for your own snow creations, if not I suggest you read some Calvin and Hobbes comics :-)

Today me and my dad built regular old snowmen, but the thing that makes it special is that it is 10 feet tall;)
And I made a igloo.
Merry Christmas,

10 feet tall is NOT normal.
Wow that's cool :) I never did get the chance to go make anything in the snow, even a regular old snowman haha. And Jonny, sounds like y'all want to go for the big time next snowfall!
Nah, I'm pretty well done with snow this year.
If someone would invent snow that was warm, I'd be happy to play in it more often ;-)
