The view was amazing out of each window and I am not so sure if I lived there I would want to be on the road so much. I would think being snowed in at such an awesome place would just be a bonus! One thing about it you sure could not park your truck here.
We were also able to meet Leesa's pet fox Buddy! Leesa shared many stories with us about hiding Buddy around the house in odd places to scare Kevin. Leesa insists Kevin can scream like a girl when he throws open the shower curtain and Buddy is sitting there. Now Kevin tells a slightly different story but he does admit to Buddy starteling him often!
We had a really great time at this meeting and look forward to getting together once again
in a year!
in a year!
