Snow Cleaning

Today we noticed that with the snow and rain the awnings were beginning to sag with the weight. We thought at first we could just roll in the slides and the snow would just fall off. But when we tried to roll the awnings and we realized the snow was just too heavy. Dad was going to use a letter to push the snow off the awning, but I thought it was a bad idea for dad to be climbing ladders. Then I noticed that there was a ladder attached to the side of the RV. I asked Dad if that letter was for climbing on the roof, when he asked why I asked if I could just climb on the roof to push the snow off with the broom that we use for cleaning the cars off. Dad said okay but when I get to the top of the ladder and it looked icy I was to climb down immediately. It wasn't too bad so I climbed on top and push the snow off of the awning. When the last little bit of snow hit the ground the awning popped right back into place. I climbed down without incident. Dad told me I was quite a thinker.

RV & Truck

We have had the RV & truck for a while now. We purchased a fifth wheel toy hauler and a 2015 crew cab Ford truck. Dad looked up the RV to the track and while pulling away from the RV mashed the tailgate so now we have no tailgate; at least we get better gas mileage this way, haha. Dad has already taken it for a test drive and on that test drive he took out the gate and mom ran over dads shoeing  box with the Chevy truck.  2015 has so far been pretty crappy, let us hope it only gets better. Our plan is to leave by the end of this month or possibly the beginning of February our plans change from day today so there is never any telling. We did however get the RV leveled and will hopefully be able to load it soon.  Until next time, Caitlin & Chrystal.
