Adult Bumper Cars

A few years ago, I went to visit Julie and Dan in Rexburg, and had my first experience with a Demolition Derby. Unfortunately I had the WORST migraine that I've ever had that night, and spent most of it laying on my sister's lap before I finally left early and went back to their house. So this weekend I thought I would give it another shot. Some friends and I headed up to Heber on Saturday night for some food and fun. We stopped at the Dairy Keen for shakes (of course!), and headed over to the stadium. All I can say is WOW!! Here is a picture summary of the experience.

Before.....(Let's just say that Mary Lu got a hold of a blue pixie stick) :)

1 hour in....

2 hours in....

3 hours in....

In the end there were several drivers that ended up in the hospital, and other severe wrecks that luckily ended with no injury. I've always been one to love riding bumper cars, but the adult version of the game is not my idea of fun! All I can say is that they sign themselves up for it, so it's hard to feel too bad. But I do have to say that half the fun was the audience. I sat behind a guy with a shredded shirt with questionable language on it and a great looking mullet, who sat and drank his beer and cussed and cheered. Welcome to the Demolition Derby!!

But the company was great!

Long time coming....

So I know it has been awhile. A LONG while. But I thought it might be good for me to start blogging again. It would be a good way to scrapbook what's going on in my life. I'm not very good at keeping up with my own life, so I thought blogging might help.

This week has been pretty busy! I spent last weekend in Reno, NV, at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Conference. I can't say it was the most exciting conference I've ever been to, but it was an experience. I would have taken some pics, but there was nothing really there to take pictures of. The entire first floor of our hotel was a casino. Even though I don't gamble, I will say that I miss the coin slot machines. Or at least the sounds they make. They do everything with cards now. So boring. :) Apparently I also missed President Obama and Mitt Romney by a day. They both came to speak, but I decided to come home. But here's a few pics from my trip.

This is our booth in the exhibit hall:

I also saw this, which I thought was pretty funny. The picture isn't great, but you get the idea:
