Small town, big jumps of joy with Beth Higginbotham (TRex / Ninja Warrior)

In a small town called Jerome, in a small bar named the Spirit Room, the last thing you expect to witness is a six foot inflatable T-Rex dinosaur to dance into the bar and take over the stage.

Beth was one of several intriguing and unexpected people we met one night in Jerome, Arizona (we also met: a geologist mining for gold, a cowboy singer, and a beautiful blond pinup girl…).

We discovered that Beth, was not only a skilled dancing dinosaur, but also, a Ninja Warrior.

Beth agreed that it would be a blast to do jump for joy photos together, and we met up for a super fun jumping adventure all around Jerome, with Beth as Beth and as the T-Rex costume. Taking photos of an inflatable dinosaur had many challenges and made me laugh historically… and it was pure joy.
