Snow Day in Utah today! School was canceled.
There was one day last year too ...
but those are my only memories of school being canceled for snow.
Frozen, and the now famous "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" song may not have come out until 2013, but the Westra clan had been building snow stuff for quite a while already. Scott became fairly well known for his creative snow sculptures. Click on the pictures to bring them up bigger, and check Dropbox for the originals!
1967 - Scott, Chris and Dad (Lamar)
1970 - Tall Snowman (how did they do it?)
Neighbors, and Scott, Chris and Wendy
1972 - Scott and no-coat Chris
Double Trouble!
1978 - All five kids here (Scott, Chris, Wendy, Jen and little Shane)
Not a snowman, but a cave/horse?
Big Snowball (1979?)
Jeni and Chris
... and the finished cave
... and yet another igloo-ish (1980)
Wendy, Jeni and Shane
Chris and Wendy - 1979?
Jen and her special snow friends.
Mr. Fireman (oh the irony) and Snoopy.
I'm sure Scott made them both.
But his most memorable snowman was ...
Brother Joseph Smith (1980)
.. another 1980 creation ...
Snowman walking a snow dog.
... and back to snow caves
Shane - 1986
... a snow owl?
Derek and Shane - 1987
...and a slope for sledding. Who needs a hill?
This went all the way around the side of the house to the backyard!
Wendy, Shane and Derek - 1991
The pine tree there is likely the old Christmas tree!
... and I guess we can include some snapshots from the next generation.
Grandpa and the Girls ... 2003
Keaton - 2014
Aaron 2017. Jensens 2018. Cousin Crew 2019.
Cooper 2014
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
