Winter Weather Whamy

We were back out on the snowmobiles this past weekend. For me, it had been quite a long time as last winter I was pregnant with Bright. As you know, there's a lot of snow here in Michigan. So much snow that even the snowmobiles got stuck. You know that doesn't happen often.

Our drive home from Up North on Sunday was rough and took nearly twice the time, but it was actually the worst in Holland. We made it home only to find our driveway drifted over. Jon did some digging and we busted through only to get stuck in a huge drift a few feet from the garage door. Oh well, at least we made it that far.

Jon spent the next two hours plowing the driveway in blizzard conditions, and he's still kinda smiling. His beard is iced over here and his clothes are literally frozen. Our tractor is really getting a workout too, as we've already had to replace two broken parts.

We did get together with the Raterinks despite the weather to celebrate my mom's birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!). Not much to do in this weather unless you really have a reason to get out, so we've resorted to opening presents early. Anybody else?
