Every now and then Jason and I fill our need to see cars crash and smash themselves so we find ourselves at the County Fair to see the demolition derby. This time we had Trevor and Michelle go with us and had a blast watching the truck derby and the van jump. Check out this video below-- It is hilarious!!!
Here is a picture of Michelle and me. We call ourselves the twins... I can't imagine why?
Jason and I also thought that if we were at a county fair, we might as well go see the Bear Show. Seriously... Bears! Check it out!
Here are pictures from our latest adventure that took place 2 days after I (Lisa) got out of summer school. Jason suprised me with this great roadtrip planned for the holiday weekend of the 24th of July. The premise of the roadtrip was to visit all of the National Parks in the Southern Utah/ Arizona region. We started out the trip at our very own Zion's park and then traveled and hiked Bryce Canyon, Coral Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, Dead Horse Point, and then the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon. We enjoy traveling together and road trips is one of our favorite ways to do so. Here are some pictures from the wonderful break!
Bryce Canyon was so beautiful and even though I don't feel that I could say which park was my favorite... Bryce was my favorite!
Here we are enjoying the sun at Bryce.
We love Arches and almost always hike delicate arch when we go there so this time we decided to do a less popular one: Double Arch.
I just love this picture of Jason
Here we are at Dead Horse Point. We had fun guessing why on earth it was named Dead Horse Point but apart from that it was a gorgeous view.
We got to the Grand Canyon during a rainstorm which created this misty scene. When we went hiking the next day it was cooled off and the perfect day for hiking.

Hey Everyone!
We have been horrible at updating the blog. We want you to know that we are working on a website in conjunction with this blog, and that is where the bulk of our pictures will be available for viewing. We just wanted everyone to know what we were doing, and see a couple of pictures from our trip to Niagara Falls. We will let you know when the website is up and active. Bye for now!
What a busy day! Wehave done and seen so much in paris. We woke up early and went to Notre Dame, followed by going to the Louvre, Angelina`s for a hot chocolate, out to Versailles, and back into Paris to go to musée d`Orsay. It was an eventful day! Check out the pictures below. Oh, and for once, Evian water is just about the cheapest drink you can get.
This is a picture of us just before we went into the Louvre. It was a,awing to see all of the major works such as Venus; Cupid and Psyché, and of course the Mona Lisa.
This is a picture of us drinking liquid chocolate at Angelina`s. It is the BEST hot chocolate we have ever had.
And finally, this is a picture of us standing in front of the huge palace at Versailles. It makes a normal house look like living in a cardboard box.
Well, it has been an eventful day in Paris. We cannot get our computer to connect to the wireless network here at our hotel. So we are experiencing French keyboards, in their full inverted weirdness. To give you an idea how weird it is, you have to shift to use period, the comma sign is where M usually is, and the worst one is A ad Q are switched.
Below is a picture of us on top of the Eiffel Tower. It was wonderful to be at the top of the tower and see the bulk of Paris!
Below is a picture of us across the river Seine overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Shortly thereafter we ate a wonderful Nutella Crêpe.
We will try to do a video update tomorrow. Au revoir!
