Adventures

My weekend started out on Friday with Physics Day at Lagoon.


Todo sadly died after his landing...

Yes. It was pretty fun being at Lagoon with 7,000 other physics nerds...

And the bonus of being there was that the National Clogging Competition was going on at the same time! That means that Sara and Katie were there! I love these cloggers...


Immediately following Physics Day (I do mean immediately literally) we left for Blue John Canyon (aka the place where Aron Ralston was trapped and had to cut his arm off)! It was a beautiful hike, though we were lost for a while in the blasting heat.

While on this adventure, we...
  1. Hit a hawk with our car
  2. Were caught in a mini tornado, and lost some items to the sky
  3. Found bones that would equal a whole cow if put together
  4. Were lost
  5. Found those among us with bladders of steel (and also those of paper)
  6. Almost had two concussions among us
  7. "It's better to go in the wilderness than to die of dehydration"
  8. Had quite the experience!


On the 3+ hour drive!

I unfortunately lost a limb...

The Melendi are planning on several more of these adventures in the near future!
