In this photo taken on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015, during a light snowfall, brothers, from left, Trevor, 19, Austin, 20, and Connor Bartz, 16, try to make their best turtle face in front of their 12-foot-tall, 39-foot-long and 31-foot-wide snow turtle in their front yard in New Brighton, Minn. They said it took over 300 hours of combined labor to make it. "Last year some kids screamed at the shark," said Connor of their 2014 sculpture, so this year they said they wanted to build a sculpture that was distinct but friendly looking. "It takes up our whole front yard," said Austin. "It couldn't be bigger." (AP Photo/The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Jean Pieri ) MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE OUT
