Adventures in Vernal!

This big old dinosaur greets you as you enter Vernal. He is sporting a cowboy hat and bandanna because it was rodeo days right upon our arrival. We got to go to a demolition derby as part of the festivities. (see story below) This is one of our neighbors. YES!!! someone has a pet pig who lives in the neighborhood behind us. The girls found this out on a Sunday afternoon stroll.
Jenna just chillin in Grandma and Grandpa's tree!!


Shannon and Aunt Linda Excited to be at Shannon's first ever demolition derby!


Here we are at the beginning. Linda said there were alot more cars last year which made it lots more fun. These cars are being judged on their paint job. There was a car painted to look like wood and also one that looked like a shark. Those were our favorites!
Ready......Set.......Go!!! It really was quite fun seeing the cars crash into each other. Some were pretty wimpy others very aggressive!
Backwards, forwards, any which way!They keep crashing till only one is left moving.Hitting in the front causes this! We were waiting for it to burst into flames...but that didn't happen. It was lots of fun. We got to go with aunts, uncles and cousins which made it even more fun!! Good times! :)

Demolition Derbys make me think of Happy Days and Fonzie. I didn't think these were real...I guess only in Vernal right? BTW we sure miss you guys!
