Bogus Basin 2008
Growing up my family would drive up to Bogus Basin on General Conference Sunday between conference sessions and have a picnic up on the mountain while listening to the afternoon session. I couldn't even tell you when this tradition started but I can remember many many years of this. Uncle David and his family started joining us for many years as well. Even after Ryan and I got married and started having kids we have continued to go with my family. Unfortunately because of weather and other things popping up in everyone's busy schedules, we haven't gone in a few years and I have missed not doing it. So this year despite the predicted rain we still went. It was a lot of fun!!
I am so grateful to mom and dad for doing fun things with us and for having traditions. I love all of the memories that I have of going to Bogus for conference. (Running down the hill and racing the van, having a snowball fight one year, celebrating my birthday up there and opening presents, hiking, racing around, playing on the chair lifts, etc). I enjoyed watching my kids run around and have fun up there. They loved riding their scooters and bikes around. We had fun racing each other on scooters down the pathway.

I think about this tradition every October conference! It was always so much fun!! Except that Zach would get sick every time on the way down in the car!! And someone always brought Oreos! I do have great memories! Your dad feeding the chipmunk. Were you there that year?

This has been a fun tradition and I am glad that you pushed us to go this year. (despite the weather)
You didn't mention that this was your b-day request.
This tradition was actually started by Grammie & Grandpa Jay when you were about 4 or so.
A long time ago.
Fun times for sure!
