Zion Ponderosa

Our Chapman Family Reunion started on Tuesday but we didn't make it down to it until Thursday which was the last day there because of our sickness. We had a great day there and the kids would have loved to have been there longer. We drove through Zion National Park just to get to this place and it was absolutely gorgeous! We drove through the tunnels and Reeghan suggested that we turn the lights off while we drove through it! Crazy kid!

I remember as a kid going to this park about 3 different times with my family and we actually camped and brought our bikes. At that time I didn't enjoy being there but now that I have my own family and experiencing it it makes that memory even more special to me. So Thank you mom and dad for dragging me kicking and screaming and all to get me to remember that time with you!

When we arrived at Zion Ponderosa we met up with his family at the cabin that they were staying at. It was pretty nice place. We then went off and did some adventures and some swimming. The girls did bungee jumping on the trampoline (kid style) and then we did the zip line with Lindsay and Sydney. The girls were hesitant about participating but in the end they wanted to keep going! Trent's 86 year old grandmother did it too! Trent went off with his parents and brothers and went on a 4 wheeler excursion as well. You could have went on horses, a jeep tour and other such activities. It was quite the place for a family to have a good time.

That night we drove back down to St George to stay at our hotel that we were having the next reunion at which was Trent's grandmothers family. It was a very short but sweet day together!
