BIG snow

The big snow started Friday night and it kept going.... Today we drove home from Carnac and when we arrived 40km from home,  the roads on the freeway were starting to slow up. They were waiting for the snowploughs to clear the roads. Just out the front of our house we started to slide. Thankfully, the rest of the drive was safe.
Cleo was happy to see us and check out the snow too!
The boys had fun playing in the snow.
Here is a pic of the back garden, with snow features.
Snowman, looking a bit melted already...

Carnac Skies and Stones

This weekend we visited Carnac (nearly 5 hours west of us), we saw great skies and magnificent rocks. There was no snow, but it was cold.
Some human megaliths and stone ones in the background.
