Marleigh sent me a note last night titled 'Gummy Bears', pasted in italics below. Setting the framework: Madison went with the Schwartz's to their Colorado cabin for New Years 2016.
Gummy Bears. That's another random thing that reminds me of Madison. We went out to the middle of nowhere back-country cabin/bar to celebrate. We had to snowmobile to get there and it was just Madison, Bradon, Andrew, and myself. Anticipating some type of festivities we went in only to find a handful of drunken mountain men. We awkwardly grabbed a table and tried to look comfortable. A large man in overalls named Todd approached us with a plastic cups filled with "moonshine soaked gummy bears"... and he was slurring. Offering them to each of us, Madi was the first who reached her hand into the plastic cup and grabbed a few and promptly ate them. She had the best excuse not to eat them since at this point she couldn't easily swallow, she did anyway, so we all had to follow suit. The man then happily proceeded to talk with us while licking his fingers and reaching back into the cup over and over again.
Thanks Madi for guilting us into creepy-Todd's saliva moonshine gummy bears... I'll never forget that :-)
Marleigh, thanks for sharing!! Some of my most memorable pictures from that trip and I wasn't even there! This was clearly unforgettable for Madi, for her family too.
