Enjoying the Snow in Michigan(?)
I've been enjoying the week in Michigan with my family! The snow was a beautiful sight! But it didn't take long to appreciate the beautiful weather we have in Florida in the winter. It's REALLY REALLY COLD HERE! Enjoy some pictures of my vacation so far.
Here's my childhood home in Michigan! It's COLD!
This is my brother's dog, Obi.
Here's my dog, Percy, just before I left home. He was very sad because he could tell that I would be leaving for the week!

And this is my mom's dog, Buddy.
Guess who this adorable kid is!
Here's my mom and my brother!
Me with Obi.
Actually, he's a pretty good driver!
Ben, trying to avoid having his picture taken while practicing for the game.
Look at that kick!!
Yep! STILL COLD!
Ben's good at everything - even bowling!

My brother's driving! Yikes!
Actually, he's a pretty good driver! The first thing we did on Sunday was to go see Ben play soccer. Look how COLD it is here! It was about 12 degrees that day!

Ben's good at everything - even bowling!
"Please stop taking pictures of me while I'm trying to concentrate!"
By day 3 the snow was starting to get old.
Me shoveling snow. Not fun. Did I mention yet how COLD it is here?
Here's me getting buried in snow!
"It's too cold to pose for pictures!"
I hope everyone else is having a great vacation as well! I'll see you all on the fifth!
