How to Build a 20 foot Snowman...

Our holiday activities, memories and fun will probably take a few posts. Here is the first of many highlights during our trip to Idaho.

When the Gneiting family decides to build a snowman, they aren't talking or planning your 3 to 6 foot snowman. They go all out! How do you accomplish this task? First you gather all necessary equitment.....


Next you get the strongest men in the house and roll three balls of snow together. It took 6 men to roll the bottom ball through the field!


Next you load the three balls into the front loader of a back hoe. Stack each one on top of the other with multiple hand signs and waves to the driver of the back hoe(Devin).


Make sure to pack the extra snow around each ball and crack to ensure 6 months of standing.


Finally, find a 55 gallon bucket for a hat, clay pigeons for eyes, table cloths for a scarf and skiis for arms and whalah!!! You have your self 6 happy men, a 20 foot snowman and a bunch of smiles from passer-bys!
