New Toy?


Yesterday the great Salt Lake Valley received a dumping of about 2 feet of snow. Today we (Cam and I) went to my parents house to borrow their snow-blower because there was no way we were shoveling and we are supposedly getting more tonight. So, after thorough instructions from my mom (and a necessary warning for ear plugs) Cam loaded up the snow-blower and we were off. I have to admit, I have never seen Cam more enthusiastic or gun-ho about anything before, until the snow-blower. He had our driveway freshly clean in about ten minutes. Then, looking around crazy-eyed he started attacking anything with a pile-up of snow. He did our neighbors driveway, any sidewalk that hadn't been attended to and chased the kids around blowing snow all over them. All the while he had a goofy smile on his face. If only he could be this excited about doing the dishes or laundry!

that's hilarious. I'm glad I wasn't in Cam's way outside...bring back bad childhood memories of a huge snow plow coming for me, a little girl, just trying to run up the hill to the bus stop and with no where to run but up! Guess who won? The Snow Plow and I'm sure he was laughing the whole time!

That is hilarious! I can see Cam right now blowing snow on everything! I think that is the reason why our driveway always get cleaned because after every storm everyone on our street runs outside and gets their snowblowers out, they act like it's the most exciting thing in the whole world. Crazy people! it does look pretty fun though, thanks to my neighbors ours is always done before we even have time to shovel. Funny!
