i love july...

july truly is the best holiday in Utah because we get to celebrate all month long! rodeos, fireworks, hiking, camping, bonfires, cabins, and...

DEMOLITION DERBYS!

my bro and i got together with a group of friends for the most exciting event that takes place in Utah during the month of july. The Kamas Valley Fiesta Days Demolition Derby! However, after dinner in Park City, we realized that there in fact was another demoderby going on in Heber and, because of our lack of communication skills, most of our group had bought their tickets to THAT derby... so after laughing at each others outfits and eating a tasty meal at El Chubascos, we all went our separate ways to witness one of Americas most brilliant traditions.

here we are, truck and all!

and here is ben, wishing he was the driver of car #54...

on our journey around the arena, we found the D-stroyer! this car was last years Fiesta Days DemoDerb champ!!! brushing shoulders with such fame was overwhelming.

and THIS, my friends, is the driver... 

Ben was star-struck!

my favorite car of the night before...

and after...

(poor bumble bee)

and how could you participate in a demolition derby without basking in the awesome hairstylings of the local folk?

yeah, we had a pretty wicked time!

I'll be sad to see July go.
