Jan 08, 2025
While many kids may see snow days as a time to relax and unwind, two siblings in southeast Indiana put in some serious work.Chloe Brown and her half-brother Braxton Dennison, armed with buckets and enthusiasm, spent 18 hours over three days building an 8-foot tall (almost) igloo.Welcome to the ig, Braxton said, standing in front of the creation.Of course, its not an igloo because theres no roof on it, he said. The duo said it got to a point where the igloo got so tall, they couldnt reach the top layer.Their mom, Angel Parnell, had the idea and started the base layer to get them out of the house and into the elements.Just to have more fun, she said.Nearly 500 buckets full of snow later, the igloo was nearly complete.It wasnt without its challenges, Braxton said, highlighting how freezing, wet and cold his fingers were. The space is decorated with a rug from Mexico, furniture, pumpkin spice candles and flamingos.(Flamingos) kind of represents Indiana weather. How its like hot one day and really cold the next, Chloe said.As Braxtons gloves became soaked with cold snow, he was ready for hot chocolate. Chloe is ready for something even further ahead: Im ready for summertime.
