We already needed a break.

Just as the title implies, Bart and I already needed a break from the house, so we went down to southern Utah for 3 days.  My best-est cousin Liz invited us to their cabin with some friend from their neighborhood. Now don't get me wrong I love all my cousins and have a great time at family functions but Liz and I are only 3 months apart.  Growing up, I thought that going down to her house in St. George and swimming and playing dress-ups was the greatest vacation in the world! Liz and I have shared many memories together including our semester in Nauvoo in 2003. FYI- Liz has actually know Bartus for almost as long as I have-12 years.

Back to the cabin.  

We had a wonderful time riding 4 wheelers, paint-balling, picnicking in the meadow, shooting guns, playing games and sleeping in.

 

Once Bart taught me how to actually AIM the gun I was a pretty good shot. I was even privileged enough to shoot Bart's Sig Sauer-all 6 bullets hit the target (mine are the bottom 6)-I took the picture for proof :)

 

We ate way too much food and had a run in with 20 horses grazing on the property. The horses must have seen us out on our picnic and decided that humans = food, so they trotted over...but they really scared some of the kiddos.

I am so glad that Liz planned such a fun weekend (even though she was diagnosed with pneumonia 3 days earlier) and that we were able to enjoy lovely weather, great company and beautiful Grass Valley.
