New Years at Badger Creek

The Anderson family invited us for a fun sledding adventure at Badger Creek near Tetonia. Badger Creek holds a special place in our hearts. It started what we endearingly call the "make it or break it" weekend while Josh and I were dating.

Dixie had invited Josh on an overnight trip to Ricks College's Badger Creek Outdoor Center sponsored by the ROTC class that she was taking. She invited Josh, who she had been dating for 2 or 3 weeks. (Crazy, I know). We went and on the second morning arranged to have Gramps pick up us so that we could visit Josh's grandparents, who Dixie had met once before.

While we were visiting the grandparents, a brutal blizzard struck up. We were stranded.

For FIVE days.

That's five days of no makeup,

no deodorant,

no clean underwear,

no glasses

During those five days, Dixie lost a contact lens, had to borrow Grams' deoderant, went commando so that she could have clean underwear and even slept in clothes provided by Grams. We ran out of eggs.

Good times.

Apparently, it was a "make it weekend".

So, it was with these memories that we headed back to Badger Creek with the kiddos (and their friend Keaton L) for some New Years fun.
