So much has gone on! I have been a very big blog slacker! I hate when I get this behind and feel like I have to leave out so many details so that I don't write a stinkin' novel! lol I will do my best to not leave out the best details. :-)
As you can see from the title we got to go to see my favorite band of all time in concert in August. I am sad if you do not know who sings that, but for all of you who are sheltered and have no taste in classic rock it's Def Leppard. Landon and I went with my dad and his gf Audrey. They came with Cheap Trick and Poison to the Usana Ampitheater. It was an awesome concert! Cheap Trick has some fun songs that were jammable. Poison did great too it was just too weird seeing Brett Michaels there when he has been on rock of love. Not that I took him seriously before, but now I really can't take him seriously. But, who doesn't love EvErY rOsE hAs ItS tHoRn? We ended up getting a ride there with my dad's friend from work. His wife was not going to the concert so she dropped us off and picked us up so we wouldn't have to get stuck in traffic. There's a funny story about when we left, but I will finish the middle part of the night first. ;-) My mom and step dad Tim were their with some of their friends too. So, it was like one big family reunion! lol My parents and their significant others get along great so there was no awkwardness with mingling. I also saw my cousin and his new beautiful wife at the concert. They were celebrating their one month anniversary. How cute! We were on this grass this year compared to two years ago we got incredible seats. It was much cheaper being on the grass, but I think it's worth the extra cash to be more interactive with the band being a bit closer. Now for the funny part of the night. My dad's friend's wife got their to pick us up, but instead of waiting out on the road for us to come to her she turned into the tretcherous pick up section. We then had to turn around and get in the back of the horendous line of cars. As we are waiting in line there are ppl driving by us in the enter lane trying to butt in front of everyone. Most cars in our lane were moving over so they couldn't make it by. My dad's friend, Byron, and his wife thought instead of doing that they would scream profanities at one of the cars trying to go by. As you know they are serving a substantial amount of alcohol to these crazy folk so as soon as the ppl in the car heard them saying those things a guy jumped out and came right up to our car. He slammed his fist onto the car window so hard that I thought for sure he was going to break it. He was yelling at Byron to get out of the car. I don't know what she was thinking, but his wife unlocked the door so Byron could get out. As you could guess they get into a fist fight. We are in a gridlock traffic jam so there is no where for us to go. My dad and Landon were stuck in the back seat with me and couldn't get out so he was fighting his own battle. I wouldn't have wanted my dad nor my husband to get out to defend his owner. Grown men should know better than that. Well, finally one of the guys from the cars behind us came up and broke them up. We got Byron back in the car right as the guy came back up the window to give it a few more punches. He then gets back in his car and proceeds back up the illegal lane to get out. We get his license number and call the police. The police were actually able to track him down.The guy ended up having three warrants out for his arrest so he went to jail. A classic rock concert isn't complete without a brawl! lol I don't have any pics to post right now because I haven't gotten them off Landon's phone. I will get some up as soon as I can. Rock on Def! You may be old, but you still know how to rock out! :-)
Recently Landon and I were lucky enough to get to have a full week off work. We decided it was time to take some vacation time since the last time we did was in March. We are workaholics so it felt so good to know that we were going to be away from our stores for 7 straight days! With our time off we wanted to have tons of fun, get stuff done around the house and sleep in! We did a lot of all three! Our first day off was last Tuesday. We took that day to sleep in, play some gUiTaR hErO, and take a four wheeler ride up Farmington Canyon. The weather wasn't fantastic that day so we didn't go too far up, but it was still nice. We brought some sandwiches and just enjoyed time in the beautiful outdoors. Wednesday we got the cars fixed and dropped off Landon's dirt bike to get fixed. Then we headed on a hike up Adam's Canyon to the falls. We love going up there. We took Mia up there with us and she absolutely loved it! We had a little treat when we got up there and played in the water for a little bit to get cooled off. After our big hike we were exhausted so we headed back home with a rented movie and spent the rest of the night on the couch cuddling. :-) Thursday we got tons of stuff done around the house then went to pick up Landon's dirt bike so we could head to the Sand Dunes. We had to stop at my mom's to pick up their wheeler so they could have one up at Yuba when we would meet them their on Friday. We didn't end up getting to the Dunes until about 1:30 am. So, we set up our tent on the trailer and thought we'd be laying our heads down to count some sheep. Oh boy were we wrong! As many of you who have been to the Dunes know there are always crazy people out there. Well, we were lucky enough to have a group of idiotic, inconsiderate punks camping by us. They were all drinking and rode their wheelers until about 4:30 am! The sound bounces off sand mountain and has no where to go, but right to where you are so needless to say we considered slitting their tires. After riding until 4:30 am we thought they would be tired and just hit the sack. Of course not! They were all so drunk that they ended up getting into a huge fight. We could pretty much hear word for word what the two friends were saying to each other. At about 5:30am the fighting finally stopped when one of the friends left the Dunes. We fell asleep until about 7:00am then everyone else at the Dunes was up riding before the sun rose and it got to hot. So with an hour and a half of sleep we slid out of bed and got the bikes ready for riding. We only rode for about 2 hrs. I let Landon go off and ride a little without me so he could actually have some fun without having to wait behind for me. Not too long after, we packed up our things to head to Yuba to meet up with my family. I love the Dunes, but will NEVER EVER stay out there again! Next post will continue with the fun at Yuba! :-)
