Danna's Birthday Disco Party

Since Danna had a birthday during her visit we figured, "Hey, why not rent out the TeePee in Alta for the party?" After all, the TeePee is one of the most unique buildings I've ever been in. It was a great turn out! Everyone dressed in appropriate 70's disco attire. I think I can confidently say that she had the best birthday EVER!

Huckleberry Hot Spring in Yellowstone National Park

For Danna's birthday, we cross country skied out to Huckleberry Hot Spring in Yellowstone National Park.
It was snowing all afternoon while we soaked in the spring. The water temperature was PERFECT! We were ready to make it our permanent residence but the Park Service probably wouldn't like that too much.

33 inches of snow in 24 hours!

Here is Danna modeling what 33 inches of snow looks like. And this is only the parking lot! It was waist deep on the mountain.

Danna takes on Idaho!

Yesterday my Tennessee buddy arrived in Jackson Hole. We had quite the welcoming party for her once we made it back in Driggs. We have so much planned for her to do, see and experience in the short week of her visit. Today she cross country skied for the first time and did great! Tomorrow she is going to get on a snowboard for the 2nd time in her life with 25 inches of new snow that has fallen in the last 24 hours! Monday, she'll be watching her first Broomball match, Tuesday (her birthday) we are skiing to a hot spring in Yellowstone for a soak, then later that evening we are throwing a 70's disco party for her. I think she may be ready to move here by the end of the week.

New Years Eve

I love New Years Eve! Every New Years has been special to me. Even the ones where I'm sitting at home watching the ball drop on T.V. or even sleeping through the New Year festivities! These are a couple of pictures from the evenings events. I don't need much of a reason or excuse to wear a feather boa.
