summerfest 2008

we love summer. therefore we love the orem summerfest. and what makes the summerfest even 10 x better is rollerblading there. mainly to ride this...
the gravitron. yessss. best ride ever. i was first introduced to the gravitron back in my pre-teen years at the 49th street galleria. it's the kind of ride that makes you laugh til you cry. until it stops. and then you kinda wanna puke. but you don't. and all is well.
here's emily and me inside the gravitron. ready for take off!
then we rode the star trooper. now riding that after the gravitron...not such a good idea. we all felt a little queasy but kept it together. unfortunately the big tatooed guy sitting a few carts back could not. sick. after that, we decided it was time to go home.
and on the way home...that's when cassie biffed it. i pretty much watched the whole thing happen in slo-mo, since she had just sped up to take the lead because crystelle and i were going too slow for her. once again she lived to tell the tale. she's a tough kid, that one.

well that was the day part of the fest. i'll have to do another post for the parade and fireworks. the two little boys standing in front of us were the real entertainment of the night though. i took some video of their conversation so...stay tuned.
