Small town life

Living in a small town you do things you normally wouldn't do!! I am introducing Mike to a lot of firsts!!! First the rodeo and then the Spanish Fork Fair and Demolition derby!! Yeehaw! He had a lot of fun though!! Although he might not admit it!!!
This is Mike at the fair. We went and looked at the animals! behind Mike are two HUGE steers!! We went around the back so we could see their faces because they were so huge and they got a little friendly and scared us off!! It was funny to watch Mike though!! It was like he had never seen a cow before!!

Then we went to the demolition derby. For those of you who don't know- I grew up in a very small town in way norther Idaho (moscow) and then in Logan. So these derbies and things are second nature to me!! This was a pretty good derby though!! If you can see- that yellow car is stuck on the cement barrier just sitting right on top of it!! Their were some pretty crazy drivers.
But when it came time for the girls turn- watch out!!! There was this one girl who was just a tiny little thing and she did not hold back!! She backed up and ran right into this car a few times until one time she hit her so hard that it rolled her car onto the top of it and then her car stopped right on top of that one. They brought out the fork lift, the jaws of life, a straight board and all. It really scared me but when they turned the car over the girl came out and was fine. It was cool after we found out she was ok!!
You can see this is the car that was on the bottom. It was completely flattened. We had a good time!! They also had an amazing and way long fireworks show afterwards!! We love fireworks!

I'm so glad you're making Mike a small town guy! Sound like good times!

Looks like fun! Life in a small town is great - Logan isn't so small anymore.

I can totally picture Mike plugging his nose when looking at the animals at the fair! I can see you, Kristin, driving a car in the demolition derby!

Demolition derbies are the coolest! My parents once went to a combine derby, I would have loved to have seen that. Nothing like a derby to bring out the white trash in us all.
