Crimson Night and Fourwheeling!!

We had a BLAST this weekend. On Friday night we went to Crimson Night up at the U with Mitch and Amanda. It's kinda funny to go up there again being married. Last time I went to Crimson Night was during my first semester of college. I went with a bunch of friends, danced with anyone and everyone, met tons of people, and just had fun. But now it's funny to walk around and see people doing all those things with the intent on finding their future bf/gf/spouse. We made fun of all the slutty girls walking around in no clothes trying to impress the guys, and the guys being super cool without their shirts doing the same thing for the girls.

We checked the place out to see what they had to offer first off. Then we watched people on the rides, a fire dancer, some circus carnies, made buttons, Mitch and Riley played on the blow up playground things, we held snakes/tarantulas/scorpions/turtles etc at the wild reptile exhibit thing that had, and had an all around good time.

Amanda was much more excited to be holding it than me!

Mitch just wanted to wear it on his head...

Amanda and I made the pins for the guys. Riley's was a "butt"on. Get it?! HAHA! TACKY!!

He got all sorts of looks from that...

We finished up our night with some cheese pull aparts and ice cream from the Pie. Overall successful night!!

Then on Saturday the four of us went fourwheeling up Farmington Canyon. We made it all the way to the fork, and both of the roads were closed due to the snow. It was a nice warm day, but there was still about 4 feet of snow. So we took a break, watched some snowmobilers do crazy stunts up the mountain, ate some food, and drove back down.

We drove down to one of the sharp turns in the road and parked the ATV's. If you stand at the end of the cliffs you can see a bunch of cars at the bottom that people have wrecked. Most of them were probably drove off the cliff on purpose, but I'm sure a few were accidental, too. Anyways someone had the great idea that we should climb down the cliff to get a better look at the cars. So we did. It's about a 500+ foot cliff, and we scaled down the side. We had to hold on to dead trees and bushes on our way down because we'd start a rock slide if we lost our footing. It was pretty intense.

We got to the bottom and looked at all the cars. The boys had to determine what kind of make and model they all were, snapped some pictures, and headed back up. On the way back the boys decided to do some rock tipping. They pushed rocks the size of the fourwheelers down the mountain. You'd hear the crashing and see the trees being smashed where the rocks tumbled over them. But then there would be a split second of no noise...and then you'd hear a huge "BOOM" when the rocks would hit the cars at the bottom.

Getting back up the mountain was an adventure. My entire body is still super sore from hiking back up. It's literally probably a 70 degree angle hill. Yikes. But we had TONS of fun. We all passed out at our house after watching Sherlock Holmes.

Riley and I slept through our entire block of church the next day so we went to my parents ward. Stayed and had dinner with my family, then went down to the Gold's later that night. No Amazing Race...it was the Country Music Awards or something so it got cancelled. Dang those hicks. So we're patiently waiting for NEXT Sunday so we can get some more Amazing Race action!!
