Henry the Snowman

It happened once when Paige was growing up in South Weber. It happened once when Cody was a lad in Wyoming. Now Tyson can also say that he's witnessed church being canceled on account of snow. (Historical Note: Paige's cancellation was for drifting snow, Cody's for -60° temperatures.)

Six inches of wet snow blanketed our area this morning creating an ideal canvas for snow creations ... a 3-tiered snowman named Henry, a chair and footstool complete with snowball holders and a dog and cat kennel for the animals (click here for pictures!). But all the fun of winter didn't stop Tyson from being spiritually fed as Paige home schooled Tyson for his Primary lessons.

While Henry the snowman was watching us eat lunch and sip hot cocoa, we all marked our best guesses on the calendar for when we thought Henry would reach his demise. And what should the winner receive? An Oh-Henry candy bar.

UPDATE: Henry has already fall over ... main body intact. Paige has the best chances with a Feb 7 guess date.
