We had a Birthday Party for Snowflake Bentley today.He would have been 145 today. His life's passion was snowflakes.
Their many intricacies were very fascinating to him.
So in honor of him we,
made snowflakes ourselves!
Naturally, we read a book together about Willie. It is a fun book that you might
like to read also called Snowflake Bentley.
We also made indoor snowmen!
Working hard building just the right man.
This one is a soldier.
A close up of the soldier.
You have to work fast or you have a puddle instead of a snowman.Also to honor him we scooped our driveway, again.
Wilson Bentley took amazing pictures of snowflakes. He was the one who discovered that there are not two snowflakes alike. He spent all his winters trying to capture as many flakes as he could.
A pretty interesting guy.
Tomorrow has several more amazing people's birthday's on it. I don't think we will have time for a celebration of them though. To bad.
Blessings to you,

Cool. I almost got that book from the library last week when we were there.
Have you read it before? It is a nice winter time story.
Looks like lots of fun. Cool idea of indoor snowmen.....at least for those people who enjoy rather messy creativity.....almost every child. I haven't ever heard of Wilson Bentley. Nice info.
I have heard of him but I don't think I have read the story. It sounds fun. All your activities are neat! I have seen a few indoor snowman ideas and wanted to try them but never have yet. Yours are cute!
