Stephannie was getting married...in February. We knew that the roads would be tough but not too bad. We were wrong...way wrong. We headed straight into one of the worst snow storms the area had in a long time. They even canceled church...in Idaho. They NEVER cancel church in Idaho over snow. We witnessed several crashed cars and semi trucks, we even saw a semi holding ice cream dump the entire load onto the road! We were one of the few wedding guests to make it down through the pass in time to get to the temple. The way home we weren't so lucky and we stuck on the side of the road from another closed pass. Six hours later we said forget it and ventured off the beaten path (not smart) and weaved through small roads to go all the way around. The sides of the roads had drifts higher than houses on either side and we felt like we were driving through a tunnel. We said our prayers, and called my mom (at 1 am) so SOMEBODY knew where we were if we didn't make it. We finally made it home from our very very long trip to Idaho.
As we worried and fretted over the horrible conditions the kids were having a wonderful time playing hours and hours of their new game cube in the back. Not one peep of complaint.
