Leanne's Second Blog Post!

There hasn't been much to talk about from my end lately other than a few arguments here and there. Taylor has developed a cold over the past few days which isn't a big deal, besides the fact that he spits flem out the window quite often which likes to spray in the back seat. Dennis and I now know how to prepare for this by ducking down when Taylor rolls down his window. 

Also, a few days ago Dennis and I, in the backseat, thought it would be a great opportunity to test out the emergency blankets as it was quite cold outside. We opened what we all like to call the tinfoil blanket and then proceeded to snuggle up thinking we were doing nothing wrong. Everything was fine until Brian noticed Taylor gripping onto the steering wheel for dear life. Apparently the emergency blanket was making a lot of noise and distracting Taylor as he was driving. Another thing to add to his frustration was that it was the middle of the day, and the sun was reflecting off the shiny blanket into the entire car. Dennis and I were unaware of this as we were having too much fun playing with the tinfoil!

We arrived at Big White late Wednesday night, and the guys and I had a great time on the hill Thursday morning. Dennis, Brian, and I were snowboarding, and Taylor was skiing. Big White is a much bigger hill than the hills we have back home, so we took pictures and enjoyed the great weather. We were getting everything together and ready to go when I noticed something different about the car. I asked Dennis if he knew that the wipers were ripped off and he giggled and said no. I immediately knew he was lying, so I asked him what happened. "They didn't work anyway," he said. "So I kicked them off with my boot." As everyone else is laughing, I'm thinking wow, that was stupid. We've been having really good weather, so I soon got over it and we were on our way. The drive was going well until it started to get darker, and then started to rain. As large trucks were passing by, spitting rocks and dirt on our windshield, Taylor was getting more and more distracted. Dennis and I were in the backseat sweating to death, so we asked Taylor to turn down the heat, and he turned it to low. Dennis informed Taylor that he didn't turn it all the way off and there was still hot air coming out. Taylor then started yelling "OH REALLY DENNIS, THERE'S STILL AIR COMING OUT?" as he was feeling the vents. Brian told Taylor that even though Dennis was being an asshole, to calm down and stop yelling. We pulled over to avoid the wet weather in search of a place to stay, but realized we were far from any lodging. Thankfully after twenty minutes of contemplating, the rain died down. We were back on the road and arrived in Mission, BC within the hour. That concludes the driving portion of our journey, but I'll be sure to create a little more drama for another good laugh.
