Peach Days & Derbys!

Brigham City had their yearly Peach Days celebration this last weekend. We love Peach Days and I've gone every year since I've lived in Logan. My old roommate's family has a peach cobbler stand that we get cobbler from and it's SO yummy!

There were some pretty sweet old cars at the car show!

The typical fruit stand thing... (it's supposed to be a truck)

We were torn between going to the USU game and the All Truck Demolition Derby Saturday night.... the Derby won!

During the second heat one of the trucks got pinned up parallel to the dirt wall and another truck came at full speed and rammed them, resulting in the pinned truck flipping over the wall and landing on the roof. Every one was excited at first until we realized that the driver was stuck upside down.... after the "jaws of life" and like 45 minutes later the driver was freed and taken to the hospital in the ambulance. I was worried that he was seriously injured, but he was waving his arm on his way out so I think that meant he was ok ha ha. Exciting but scary!


Pretty much make the number one on my top demolition derby list. Following the previous excitement, we had a couple exploding cars as well...

and the top the night off (and end it abruptly)... rain started to pour and the lights shut off! Ha ha! What an exciting night!
We sat in the rain for a bit hoping that the lights would come back on, but we eventually gave up and left. Super fun night though!

*Speaking of Trucks.... ours has been quite expensive lately.... just days before registration expired we got a rock chip that spread over 6 inches within an hour or so. We didn't even have a chance to fix it, thus resulting in us having to fork out the money for a new windshield. Now only weeks after that incident, I got a text from Jeff yesterday saying that the truck won't turn right... hmm, yeah sounds like a problem.

Anyway long story short, our front right shock broke, bending some steering rod or something. We sucked it up and forked out the money, but phew! We sure hope that's it for awhile.
