Chapter 645 Morning on a Snowy Day (1/4)
Next chapter
Qin Yi immediately checked with John, that's right, this is the destination of this trip: Mackinac City!
Yesterday at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he pulled anchor and sailed for about eight hours, and at about 3 o'clock in the morning, he sailed into the dock of Mackinac City, about 400 kilometers from Holland.
The tiny snowflakes were already falling, and it didn't take long for the weather to get worse, and eventually it turned into a raging blizzard, and three hours later, in the early morning, the snow was a foot thick, and the whole world was covered in snow!
Originally, Qin Yi wanted to take women and children to Mackinac Island to experience a medieval carriage journey, but this wanton blizzard might disrupt his plans.
There's no way, people are not as good as heaven!
However, this blizzard has almost stopped now, and the small snowflakes, like another form of cow drizzle, floated down in the middle of the day, but when they fell on the raised face, they couldn't feel her coolness.
Perhaps, this unexpected blizzard will not cause much hindrance to his travel plan, and seeing the tourists on the pier playing happily, Qin Yi who is lying on the guardrail feels that this snow is actually not too bad.
Well, he's been expecting snow for a long time!
The snow on the deck had long since been cleared by the GIs, and carpets had been laid out to prevent slipping on the waterlogged deck.
After drinking a cup of coffee sent by John, Qin Yi felt a lot more energetic, stretched his waist, turned around and went back to the cabin to call his daughters-in-law to get up and watch the snow.
But before he could walk back to the master bedroom, Chloe and Ricky pushed the door out, and as for Susa, after this girl was pregnant, she had more than half an hour of lazy sleep than the others, and she was still asleep at this time.
"Hey, ladies. Guess what's going on out there? Haha, it's snowing, it's snowing! Qin Yi beckoned to his daughters-in-law, he wanted to sell a pass, but without waiting for the two daughters to react, he gave the answer in one bite!
"It's snowing?"
Chloe and Ricky had just woken up. At first, he was still a little confused, but when he heard this, he was refreshed and ran towards the deck in surprise.
When he saw the scene of the outside world clearly, he couldn't help but raise his hands, laughed and threw himself to the side of the boat, happily put down his feet slightly, and turned his head to enjoy the surrounding snow.
Michigan has two peninsulas, North and South, and Mackinac City is located at the tip of the South Peninsula. Across the lake from St. Ignace on the North Peninsula, there is a famous suspension bridge, the Mackinac Bridge, between the two towns.
The east and west sides of the bridge are Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.
Mackinac City's pier faces east, facing Lake Huron, but if you didn't know it beforehand, you wouldn't be suspicious that this is Lake Michigan, because both lakes are pretty much the same landscape.
I have to say that there is a difference. It's that there is some ice on Lake Huron, which indicates that it is indeed further north. The temperature is a bit colder.
When the snowflakes fall in the lake, they naturally melt, so the lake is still vast, but the scattered ice is carrying a thick layer of snow, one by one, like dumplings floating on the water. You can't help but want to pick up a piece and try the cooking of nature!
If Lake Huron in the east is "boiled rice balls", then Mackinac City in the west is completely a world of ice and snow.
Standing on the deck and looking west, except for the freshly cleared pavement. The whole land is snow-white, the evergreen lawn of the four seasons is gone, and the beach, the battlefield of bikini beauties, has also hidden its figure at this time, giving more charm and enchantment to the sometimes quiet and sometimes tyrannical wind and snow!
The small trees were bent over, and even the whole thing was buried by the snow, and the cars, under the thick snow, were neatly arranged in the dock parking lot or roadside parking spaces, like pieces of fluffy and soft bread.
Well, when they woke up early in the morning before breakfast, Chloe and Ricky looked at the snow and couldn't help but think about what they were eating
The side walls of various types of houses have become the embellishment of ice and snow at this time, and this mottled heavy makeup has given more color to the white and dazzling ice and snow in the sky, so as not to make this holy day so that people can't open their eyes!
On wooden telephone poles, rubber cables, and pine branches, some early birds jumped around, shook off the snow, and looked rashly, thinking that the blizzard had risen again.
In a trance, the snow on the pine branches slipped down in a large area, and the bent branches suddenly bounced up, startling the birds to scatter and flee!
Elsewhere, the birds are still chirping, not knowing whether to sing about the beauty of the snow and ice, or complaining about the bad weather, which adds to their already difficult foraging!
But looking at them pecking and scratching and finding nothing, Qin Yi guessed that the latter should be more likely.
"It's the snowfall season of the year, but I didn't expect to get such a big snowfall!" Marveling, Chloe leaned over the railing, leaned down, and then looked at the tourists who were playing in the snow.
Ricky was looking over there, too.
The mother of the blue tweed jacket, the sled made of surfboards and child seats, finally could not satisfy the child's yearning for snow, the little guy dishonestly shook a few times, and plunged into the thick snow, two short legs kicked and kicked, hard to get up, and finally the mother pulled out the radish like a carrot
She chuckled, listened to Kolo's words, and said casually: "It's beautiful, isn't it, it's the first time I've seen a snowy scene by the sea!" ”
Qin Yi and Kolo smiled and nodded, it was the first time they had seen it, the lake and the shore of the lake that could not be seen at a glance were no different from the sea.
Sara and the others also came out quickly, and when they saw the world covered in silver, they cheered quietly one by one, and after a while, Angel and Betsy finally got out of bed, shouting that they wanted to go down to play, and the girls, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately took the two girls and ran off the yacht in a swarm.
Qin Yi followed them with a camera and came to the dock slowly.
When women and children were playing on the road where the snow had not yet been cleared, he shouted and gave instructions.
As a result, whoever he commanded, he would be unlucky enough to be hit by a snowball, so the girls protested and threw a few snowballs as punishment, and he stopped laughing and took pictures!
The two girls had the most fun as they formed Team Teddy with Sara and Jenny against the four-member Fanny team of Chloe and Ricky!
Don't look at the small girls, they can't even run in the one-foot-thick snow, but the snowballs are accurate, hiding behind the car and screaming, and the continuous snowballs fly over like cannonballs, which simply suppresses the charge of the Fanny team!
In the end, Sara and Jenny stopped fighting, and made snowballs for the girls, and the girls who were supplied with cannonballs were bolder and more firepower, and they didn't hide anymore, but stood behind the car and threw them hard
If it weren't for the fact that his legs couldn't sprint, Qin Yi felt that the girls would launch a counterattack!
At half past seven, Qin Yi, who had never forgotten to pay attention to the yacht, found that Susa had finally gotten up and was looking over the deck, and when he saw them, he immediately waved his hand and walked towards this side.
Qin Yi was afraid that she would slip, so he hurriedly ran over, although the possibility was not high, but he was afraid that in case, if the baby fell, Susa would not cry to death!
"Wow, I didn't expect to see people surfing yesterday, and it snowed today, and the creator is really amazing!"
Susa grabbed Qin Yi's arm who came up, stretched her neck a little excitedly, and looked at Angel who was having fun, and couldn't help but be a little envious.
Qin Yi kissed the corner of her mouth, and carefully helped her walk slowly, "This is Mackino, three or four hundred kilometers away from Horan, the weather difference is a bit big!" ”
Susa nodded, remembered Montana again, and couldn't help but say casually: "It's almost snowing in the pasture, and the wind and snow come at this time of the year." ”
"I looked at the weather, and in a few days there will be a Canadian cold snap down the Rocky Mountains and it will probably snow."
"Is it Thanksgiving? I'm looking forward to it! ”
In her heart, on a snowy Thanksgiving day, it is really a happy thing for the family to sit around the warm fireplace and enjoy a big meal! (To be continued.) )
