Snow!

Last week it snowed, but when Emily and I tried to play in it, we discovered that it was too powdery. Yesterday, we decided to try again, and got slightly different results. The snow had been melting off and on, and therefore stuck together quite well.

I rolled the bottom ball and Emily rolled the second one. We used a board for a ramp to get the second ball on top, as the melted snow was extremely hefty. I then rolled the top ball and set it on top, where Emily and I made modifications to him as needed. I chose to rub out the snow in his head to create eyes, because I think that if something has rocks for eyes, you can't get to know him. The same is true with the mouth, ears, and nose. A creature needs to be made of the same material all over to appear realistic.

Today we played in the snow some more, starting the production of an igloo, of which we have no pictures.
