Spring Break... in the Snow

Day 1/The Drive up
The MIGTY MAC... in the dark, and in a snow storm...
Maddy snapped these pics on my iPhone, as I clutched the steering wheel.
We had to pull into the rest area just after the bridge.  The snow is pretty to look at, and take pics of, but SUCKS to drive in!!! Glad we only had another 30 miles to go, and this is when the roads got better, and the snow flakes got HUGE, causing the 30 mile drive to take about an hour, because visibility was 3ft.
Day2 of Spring break was spent DIGGING OUT! None of the news casts, that I've seen, have actually said how much snow we got, but you can see from the pictures, it was a LOT!!!!
This is what it looked like when we woke up!! I shoveled us a path over to my Dads place.


My dad cooked us up a big breakfast.
We suited up!! This is Maddy's new snowboarding gear, cute huh!! Won't lose her, even in white out snow conditions!!
Grampa gave instruction on how to run the snowblower. I don't know how she got lucky and got the easy job... I had to run the shovel!!!
THAT is a SHIT TON of snow!!!
She LOVES that I took this pic! We are all SHOCKED by how much she looks like her big brother in this picture!!! 
After all that hard work, we decided to chill, watch a movie 
And take a little nap!!

Day 3 of Spring Break... We got up early and headed out for Prime Rib Breakfast. I've never had Prime Rib, and wasn't sure how that fit in with breakfast, but I was pleasantly surprised, it was GREAT


Found the greatest bumper sticker EVER!!!
Later in the day we went on a little drive, took some scenic pics..










We hung out at the local bar, met some of my Dads friends...
She hung out by the fire
And that was day 3...

We have a plan for the next few days, we'll see if the weather cooperates.  This is what we woke up to

BRRRR!!!!
