Earlier this semester we decided to have an adventure to the drive inn. We learned that there was one just here in Rexburg, which was a lot more convenient then going all the way into Idaho Falls like we used to, so we decided to go check it out. The movies playing were Night and Day, and Shrek 4. We weren’t too excited about the movies, but excited to buy snacks and get out for the night. Once we got to the drive inn we got an amazing spot right up front, and got all settled in. Well as we were waiting for the movie to start we realized that a lightning storm was coming in. We’ve had a lot of lightning storms this summer because it would be so hot during the day and cool down so much at night, so this really shouldn’t have been anything new. However as the lightning storm got closer we realized just how intense it was. Almost every three seconds there was a flash coming from some part of the sky. By the time the movie started the storm was almost to us, and we couldn’t even really see the screen because the flashes were so bright. Before we knew what was going on the storm was directly over us, pouring rain and sending lightning all over the sky. By this time we were completely distracted by the storm, and had forgotten about the movie entirely. As the storm started to pass we debated about whether to follow the storm, or try to figure out what was going on in the movie. At first we did stay at the movie and try to catch up on the plot, but we soon realized that it was hopeless and decided to chase the storm to try to get some videos. At first we just kind of followed the storm, not really paying attention to where we were, until we started paying attention to the signs around us and realized we were a lot closer to the border of Wyoming than we should have been and only about 30 miles outside of Jackson. We were a little worried at first, but decided to turn left (because the totally solves everything) and kept going on our way. We got in a minor argument when Larissa told Kelly to look for a street to turn on, and Kelly decided to say something right as we were passing the sign, not giving Larissa enough time to slow down and turn. Kelly then refused to help anymore because Larissa obviously wasn’t listening to Kelly anyways. Eventually we turned around and took the turn that Kelly found and ended up finding a couple good spots to stop and get some awesome videos and decided we should probably start heading back. Well about that time we realized we really had no idea where we were, or how to get back on the main road, so naturally we decided to drive around aimlessly. Eventually we came across a sign that said we were in Driggs. Great, we’re in Driggs!!!! The only problem was that we didn’t actually know where Driggs was in comparison to Rexburg. This really bothered Kelly. Larissa has lived here her WHOLE life….and she doesn’t know where Driggs is?! Surely we must be completely lost in some other universe and would never find our way home! Kelly’s freaking out resulting is Larissa’s freaking out, and right when we were both on a verge of a brake down, we found the highway. Just like that, right in front of us. We turned left, which again we figured had to be the right way to go, and soon saw the sign that we were over 45 miles outside of Rexburg. Oops. We got back to Rexburg mildly annoyed with each other, but safe none the less. Although it was a lot of fun, and we did get some amazing videos, the whole getting lost part was not the best idea we ever had.
