Demolition Derby

The last couple of weeks I have started wondering if we are turning into Rednecks, I would like to think not. But we have gone to some pretty funny "redneck" activities. This past Saturday was the demolition derby in Riverton. It was very entertaining. I was laughing the entire time. To give you a picture of what happens there, you sit in bleachers surrounding a dirt pit. (The same dirt pit, in fact, that the rodeo was in). Five or six cars drive out into the dirt pit that have obviously already been through some abuse.

3 Day Holiday

This last weekend was a holiday. This holiday landed on a Sunday. What do you do when a holiday is on a Sunday? Do you observe it on Saturday? Or on the Monday you get off of work?

So Monday we played MORE volleyball, had an even BETTER barbeque (ribs and smoked salmon) and then listened to our neighbors set off their fireworks. I approve of this holiday.
