CCR



A couple of weeks ago my Father-in-law took me, Nate, my Mother-in-law, Nate's sister Angie and her husband Mark and his sister Amanda to Wendover to see Creadance Clearwater Revisited. It was a lot of fun to spend time with the family and enjoy a concert as well. We left around 1:30 p.m. and on the way out we stopped at The Salt Flats none of us had ever been out there. It was pretty cool to see a sea of nothing but white salt. Then my Father-in-law being the child that he is decided that he needed to do some donuts! It was pretty funny because he left black tire marks all over. We got to Wendover and sat at a park for a bit while we waited for Angie and Mark to get there. Then we went and had dinner at one of the three buffets. It was pretty good food for a buffet! We then went to The Peppermill Concerthall. Poor Ashlee couldn't come because you have to be 21 to enter and she is only 17. The concert was great! Even though I didn't know to many of the songs that they sang.
The concert got over at about 9:30 p.m. Mark and Angie stayed the night at one of the nice hotles and the rest of us drove home. Because it was so late Randy had Nate drive home. We had been on the freeway for probably about 15 or 20 minutes when the wind started to blow hard enough that it was causing the truck to sway back and fourth. Just then we noticed that a motorcycler was in front of us and he started to fishtale like crazy. Nate was afraid that he was going to hit him. The guy then went off the side of the road. I began saying Stop, Stop, Stop! Finally, Nate pulled over and we got out and ran down to help the guy. I got there first and was scared to death. Luckily he wasn't hurt! He blew a tire and was so scared that he could hardly speak to us. He was on his way home from doing a friend a favor. He lived in West Jordan so we were able to give him a ride home. The entire ride he kept saying how unlikely it is to be able to stay up on a motorcycle with a blow out. He was extremely greatful for our help and it was an awsome exprience.
