A Wintery Mix

The day had been dreaded upon for days, a day of an early morning, a day of rain, a day of sleet, and a day of snow. It will to be a very long day. Staying enclosed in the same place for hour after hour after hour, sitting around watching and playing to have fun. As the day seems to drag on and you not even sure of the time anymore, your body is ready to lie down and relax but you have to keep fighting to win. The terrible day outside making you happy to be inside, happy to be safe for now. The day finally comes to an end, but now you must make your way through the disappointing weather outside. You’re so far away from home; you hope that there is a safe journey ahead of you. As you make your way home, there is more and more ice covering the long narrow roads. The cars that are headed the opposite direction are covered in a thin layer of snow, giving you an idea of what is ahead of you. Our adventure was almost to the end when we hit the snow, covered roads with huge clumps of snow left over by the plows. Slush is everywhere slowing down the traffic, making the car ride longer. After who knows how long, we hit Pewaukee, glad to be so close to home.
