Sunset outside my Grandpa’s house, and my quinzhee in Milwaukee

My Grandpa turned 90 earlier this week and we went to Milwaukee to celebrate.  Of course; I had to sleep outside.  When we arrived after a seven-hour drive, I immediately started piling snow for another quinzhee.  After I shoveled Grandpa’s driveway, anyway.  After a few hours and help from my dad, sister, and cousin from Arizona (it was an interesting experience for him), I finished a new, much smaller bedroom.  Much, much smaller.  I could hardly stretch out inside, and my nose was an inch away from the ceiling last night when I used it.  I slept fine, though.  The balmy Milwaukee weather was so warm I left my sleeping bags unzipped and didn’t use my hot water bottle.  Tonight’s supposed to be a little colder, but don’t think it’ll be a problem.  Happy 90th birthday, Grandpa!
