Adventures!!

Hi Everybody!!

I Know, I know, I've been very very very bad in not blogging for so long but im hoping to make up for it now. Since I last blogged I've been on so many cool adventures and have done a ginormous amount of traveling.

Seth, his cousin and I went to Michigan for them to look at a machine. We drove through Chicago, though Indiana into Michigan. I slept the majority of the time. I was quite cozy in the back with heaps of blankets and pillows. We stopped and had an AWESOME breakfast at Denny's and then drove a few more hrs until we got to our destination. Then, after maybe an hour stop we started to travel home. I guess we travelled for about 24hrs straight. On the way home we went over one of the great lakes - it was cool. About an hr away from home it started to snow REALLY heavy. You could only see about 3metres in front of you and we were going about 15mph. Thankfully the snow lightened up enough to drive home.




Anyways, the next day, we woke up to about 10 inches of snow! It was so cool. Seth and I got to go ploughing again - more driving - lol. The snow was really heavy and hard to push so it took a little longer to plough. We got another 8 or so inches the next night too so we had ALOT of snow!! We got to do all the mobile phone towers and were done just before it snowed again! We got another 6 or so inches so we got to plough everything again. We spent about a week straight driving. lol. It's not too bad though. I only felt sick once from going back and forth back and forth.


Here are some pics of the snow


Pictures of me shoveling some snow.

Pretty snow

Life is going great! The weather is slowly warming up so it seems like more of an Australian winter. The snow is all melting already. There is so much water and mud around! It's looks like everyone has their own personal lake in their backyard. I've been going with Seth these last few days to work which is fun. I get to hand him stuff : - ).
Anyways, I had better go, I'll try to blog more frequently.

You guys are awesome!!

You look awesome in the snow shovelling photos, I think your surrounding suit you (or do you suit them?)

Hey Claire

So cool to have a new post to comment on! (even though Deb beat me to it!)

Can't imagine the snow, but it is sounding messy...sure my kids would love it!

I would hate to travel that much! But you made it sound fun, not car vommitty (which is what I always associate long car trips with)

cya!
