When my kids were younger, my son and I used to build giant snowmen. This year, I have twins in my class who live across the road. They asked why I hadn't built a giant snowman lately. I told them that the weather needs to be just right for it and that my son was in college, so I have no one to help me. They said that they would help. Today was our sixth snow/cold day in a row. I haven't been to work in ten days if you include weekends. It was warm and the snow was melting. Tonight is going to get down to 13. So it was a perfect day. I went and asked if Sam and Jack could come out and play. The video ends at the point Sam and Jack ditched me to go to an ROV meeting. It also started raining, so the iPad had to go inside. I got to finish it by myself. That was not part of the original plan. I'm going to be feel this tomorrow.

That is awesome!
My dad built one that big one year-although his had added female features. My mom was so mad

Thanks for putting up that ROV link. Saved me some time looking. That orange T-shirt near the end of the video is from a high school here in Southern CA. Apparently, that school is fairly renowned for its robotics program and was one of the first high schools in the US to establish such a program in the late 1980's. Neat stuff.

That’s really cool Rob What are the button made from ? My in laws made snowman decorating kits for the kids when they were small. They had coal, carrot, buttons, etc. made of wood with pointed dowels on the back. There was also a scarf and a couple of Halloween hats in each kit.
