LIFE IS A HIGHWAY....Part II

This is the winter version! Morgan & I went back to Illinois for a friends baby shower & to visit with my friends. Weather was cold, but not bad...UNTIL WE HIT INDIANA on our way home. They get the dreaded "lake effect snow". I had to wake up Morgan so she could take some pictures for me.







And so it begins, another winter season!



See the snowflakes coming RIGHT AT YOU!!! It was much worse than the picture looks.







Its a WHITE OUT! Ok not quite, but pretty snowy. It snowed until we got into Ohio, & then it just STOPPED! Not even snow on the ground. Pretty wild.
I thought you Arizonians would enjoy these...either because you are enjoying seeing the snow, or the thought that you dont have to deal with it!! ; )

thanx for sharing and thinking of us! I certainly do NOT miss driving in that. At least not on the highways. I do miss playing in it, though. I can't wait to show Bre and Brandon when they wake up (they just went to bed). I hope you had fun w/ your "IL friends". ;) I'm missin' ya!!!

I soooo hope that we get some decent snow this winter! Thanks for sharing the pretty pictures that poor Morgan was forced to take. =) Did you win any baby shower games?

Ok, so I'm not going to say what wonderful pictures these are (even though they are pretty good pictures) - other than to say how much I DO NOT miss snow. Brings back bad thoughts of cold & runny noses, neither of which I'm particularly fond. Don't like snow, haven't liked snow since I was a little kid- I have nothing against snow, just think it belongs in the mountains, not on the streets & sidewalks.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!! I post a "blog", go to bed & when I wake up I've got FOUR COMMENTS!! That is so cool! ; )
Suz: Of course I think of you..ALWAYS, but you'll see in a few days just how much. And of course, this was mostly FOR BRE & BRANDON! (oh..& they were just "acquaintances"!)
Joel(Tiff): luckily only 1 game was played(baby item bingo) & both Morgan & I got a prize!!! YES!
Ricki: I AM SO WITH YOU! Its BEAUTIFUL...however, like Morgan said, only for the 1st 5 minutes & then we're done with it!

Mom - "Bre, do you have anything to say about those pictures of the snow?"
Bre - "no, just 'oh my gosh', it looks cold!"
Brandon - "no, just 'oh my gosh', it looks cold!" (he says everything his sister says)
I still think of what Duane said waaay back when about kids and snow "don't tell me you're going to deprive those kids of snow". yep, guess I am. No, they'll get access to it one day...hopefully.
