Parduhn Family Reunion

We were down in St. George this past week for a Parduhn Family get together! It was a BLAST! My gramps has a house right down by Sand Hollow that they rent out and we were lucky to stay there for a few days! Lets just say we lived in luxury for the past couple of days. The house was amazing. Karson and I were lucky and scored the master bedroom. I sadly didn't get any pictures of the house for some reason but trust me when I say amazing. We had a fabulous vacation and I didn't want to come home. Sadly all things must come to an end but we are looking forward to next year already!

We left Wednesday night after work around 6 hoping to get there before it was late. I had Karsons car all packed and ready to go. I even got the oil changed and washed his car. We got on the freeway and Karsons car was acting funny. About 3 miles outside Nephi his car told us to pull over immediately and shut the engine down.  Luckily my brother was 3 minutes behind us and pulled over to help. We called our friends and they towed us back into town and we ended up taking Connie and Georges car. We later found out that it was something they did when we changed the oil. I am just glad it was right outside Nephi. We didn't end up leaving til 9 but we finally made it!

We relaxed most of Thursday. We did venture out for a short four wheeling ride. We picked the wrong time of day to go and it was extremely hot so we didn't last long. I didn't get any pictures of this day because I forgot my darn camera. There was a big theater room and we watched some movies and had a good day!

Friday we headed to Zions and hiked around a bit and had a picnic in the park. Again it was pretty hot but Zions is beautiful and we had a good time. We did the weeping rock hike and it was nice to get cooled off by the water at the top. That night we played glow in the dark bocce on the golf course behind my grandpas house. 

One morning I woke up to these two on the top of the roof drinking hot chocolate. They were early risers. McCord kept telling Kars the view was beautiful. Every morning Mac would ask if they could drink hot chocolate together on the "view".

Saturday we woke up early and went to the shooting range to shoot clay pigeons. Karson was looking forward to this ALL MONTH long! It was so much fun and lets just say some of the girls in my family are pretty dang good shots. After shooting we went on a hike and climbed to a waterfall and played in the water. It felt so nice to be in the water. Madden loved in and screamed the whole time to be in the water. I don't blame him, it was hot. That night my gramps had dinner catered for us and it was fabulous!

Madden isnt a fan of the sun in his eyes so monkey spent a lot of time over his face.
All the ladies shooting.
These two were some of the big winners.

It was so hot Lex and Madden spent a lot of time eating ice out of the jug. It was nice because it kept them quite entertained.
