Flat Tire

This thing is not coming off!

Heather's car got a flat tire while she and I were in Rose Park looking at a house for rent, which is a sketchy area in downtown Salt Lake. I know it is sad, but it was our first time changing a flat time and we are both in out late twenties... better late than never I guess. We jacked the car up and removed the screws from the tire but for some reason the tire was not budging. A few men from the house next door came over and tried to loosed it by kicking it, pulling it, pushing on it, but it was not moving. Finally one of the men went over to his house and came back with a sledge hammer. He got down behind the tire and gave it one good beating with the sledge hammer and it came right off. It was just so old and hadn't been changed in a long time that it had rusted to to the car. Luckily they were there to help us, but I was a little disappointed too because they just sort of took over with the tire and didn't let us even put on the spare after we got the old tire off. I wanted to have the full experience of removing and putting on the tire. We are women who don't mind getting our hands dirty... it was actually really fun and have now learned how to deal with a flat tire. Chalk that up for another needed experience!

Heather's Brithday... The Circus

Elephants on Parade

Dinner at the Blue Lemon in downtown Salt Lake

Tight Rope Walkers... Wow!

Clown Bike, I want one of these

Fire Throwers

Trained Tigers, no way could you get me inside that right with all those tigers!

I forgot how much fun the circus was when I was a kid. I still love it. The trained animals and the amazingly talented people were incredible to watch perform. They kept singing "Fully Charged" throughout the performance so I was singing that for a week following the show. Good times with friends.

Random Roller Derby Girls... A Night Out on the Town

Gangsters!

Lindsey came to stay with me in Salt Lake for a a week and a half while she was being a part of the Church movies that were being filmed in Goshen, UT. One night we felt like dressing up; You know us, we don't need an occasion to dress up, just a little incentive. Heather pulled out our Halloween costumes odds and ends from last year and we just went with it. We tried to keep the theme consistent in  ways: each of us had untamed hair, something on our heads, something around our calves, yellow shirts, and the same bold rich red lip stick. Heather wore a yellow karate belt around her head, which was awesome! Lindsey wore knee pads and a numbered jersey (totally roller derby). I ratted two pig tails that stuck out from my bright green hat. We went out for the night to Nickel Mania, which is a .05 cent arcade and then out to dinner/dessert at Leatherby's. It was fun just spotin' the attire and acting like crazies for one night. What can I say? We like to engage in rad random activities and I'm pretty sure this activity qualifies! :)
