4th of July!

Kory and I had a couple adventures for this 4th of July. One perk to Kory's job is he will sometimes get free tickets to various events. This time it was to a Demolition Derby in Ogden. Neither Kory or I have ever been to a derby before and I was a little hesitant. How fun can watching cars run into each other be? We had a blast. We both had fun picking our favorites and cheering them on to the finals. Not to mention the fun we had watching people around us. Lets just say Demolition Derbies attract some...interesting people.
On Monday we met up with Kory's family at Dierke's Lake in Twin Falls Idaho for a little swimming, cliff jumping, and dutch oven-ing. I have never been cliff jumping. The idea scared me to death. There were kids there jumping from cliffs the height of the Rocket at Lagoon, into water, without seatbelts, or chairs! Kory got me up on a medium sized cliff and I stood there about a half hour before I had to climb down. :-( I did eventually jump from a rock. Yes, it was extremely low, yes, I got major butterflies doing it, and yes, I am very proud of myself. Here is a little video of Kory's jump. If you scroll forward to about 18 seconds you can see the grand moment.

And here is a picture to hopefully show the height a little bit better. If you look at the picture the rock he jumped from is not where he is actually standing but from where the strangers feet are in the upper left area. And if you look in the lower right area you can see the amazing beast I conquered. (right behind the bush :-) WOW!)
