Giant 8 ft Tall Snowman in Beaverton

The day following our snowstorm, Ethan, Marcie and their friend Marina came across a giant snowman in the front yard of our next door neighbor. Seems the neighbors stayed up until 10:00pm last night putting the final touches on the snowman. The kids were able to miss school for a second day because the roads were not safe for travel.
