So our Holiday weekend comes to a close. Jake and Ben went to Sacrament meeting..Brittany and I were going to go later while the guys watched the kids but by the time we were ready they came home and they had canceled church...It's an after Christmas Miracle. The wind had picked up and we decided we better boogie home before the highway is closed. We did get stuck in Ben and Brittany's drive way...
The roads from Pocatello to Burley were terrible..it was a complete white out.
Right outside of American Falls there was four cars and a semi-truck off of the road (see photo above) that had just slide off the road. We pulled over to see if anyone was hurt. There was one guy whose front end of his truck was completely buried in a snow bank. Luckily no one was hurt just shaken up a bit. Everyone drove 10 miles an hour with their hazards on until we reached Burley. When we reached Burley they had shut down the east side of the highway and closed it westbound right behind us. We barely made it through. You know the road is slicker then snot when you don't move the wheel...and with just a gust of wind your car slides sideways. We made it safely home and overall had a great time with family and friends. Thanks to Everyone!

I remember Jake saying that the roads were bad, but I didn't realize they were THAT bad!
Thanks for sharing the Christmas pics. It's nice to know you're keeping the redneck in you. It's deep inside us all. Sometimes we just can't help but let it show itself (Crash up derbies, Horkleys, Main street... the usual).
Miss you guys lots! See ya this summer.
