Night at the Movies

We finally found a Friday night to go to
a DRIVE INN movie.
Rylee has been wanting to go to one
of these for years. Hence the "deer in the headlights look"

I think that the lastone we went to was when the
72 Chevy Blazer
was still in condition to go. (That was quite a
while ago)

We sat in the back of the truck in lawn chairs and had a gymnastic pad laid down in the bed
of the truck for Rylee to lay on.

We had a really good time and it started to rain just at the very end of our movie. We had just enough time to pack up and
get out of the parking lot.

Thanks Jim for taking us and having a great night out.

West Valley City

This is where our day started out.

We were playing in a Tournament in West Valley City.

Our team did really well. They had to play Thursday night.

Friday night and again on Saturday morning.

We won the first two games and held in there pretty well for the third game.
Well after the second game................... Here we go
We had gotten a hotel room down sort of close to the "Maverik Center" cause our
playing field was not far from there. After the game we were headed up 3500 S to
our hotel so that Rylee could do some swimming in the pool. (this is what he had really

wanted to do all night). We were stopped at a light and all of sudden here come a couple

of cops. We thought well they are going to escort an ambulance or fire truck thru the busy
intersection but NO!!!!! there were about 12 to 15 cops in unmarked and regular cop cars
that came rushing to the intersection. Some turned to the left, some to the right, and some
just flipped a U turn and raced back up the road. Pretty soon here they came back for
a second time. Kind of did the same thing. All the while we were just sitting at the light
watching all of this happen. Pretty soon they came back a third time and then we

realized that this was a high speed chase and they had finally located the car they were

chasing. He turned to the right and headed down past a few strip malls and the cops followed him.
He then proceeded to come back onto 3500 S, only this time he was behind us.

This is supposed to be a picture of the cop car that he took out behind us by pushing him into

a ditch and into a water line that broke and spewed water all over. Then I could see him barreling

up behind us. I kept looking in my side mirror and thought "we are about to be rear-ended".

I think I told everyone to hold on cause here he comes....I looked at the young couple next to us and yelled "he's

gonna hit us" and then I thought I told Rylee to look away as I really thought that the kids next to us would be killed.

They were in a little grey car and no one behind them. He would have hit them straight in the back..But no

He decided to barrel right between us. Unbelievable I could
not believe that there was enough room for him to fit thru there. In hitting the cop car behind us,
he lost his whole front end and maybe that is how he fit between us.

This the the bumper of the car that was running from the cops.
When he hit us it kind of blew apart and there were car parts
everywhere!!!

It tore up our running board and left scrapes
all the way up the side but it was still drive-able.

He raced down between us and kept going. We were traumatized but totally unhurt. There were
car parts everywhere and I was not sure if they were mine or not. I did not dare get out as there
was still a lot happening and it is a very busy street.

He caught our car pretty well all the way up the side and I was not sure if there was any car left.
Well after seeing the damage I really cannot believe that this is all it did. The little grey car
next to us only lost the mirror.

This was the tow truck that was trying to haul the cop car out of the way.
