This summer was the Perrins Family Reunion and my brother Adam and I were in charge of all the planning. This was no small task, finding place for all 75 of us to sleep, eat, and play. We settled on Zion National Park as our home base and planned of whole week of endless fun and adventure and it did not disappoint! We stayed at a resort near the park and each family had 
their own cabin which meant privacy and space. The location was gorgeous and 
centrally located so that we could visit Zions Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and several other smaller tourist sites. We spent 2 days at Zions because it was the closest and so big that it took more time. Our favorite was hiking the Narrows because we loved 
hiking in the water and staying cool! But Bryce canyon was also our favorite because it was just unlike anything we have ever seen. Carson, Jackson, and Ressa hiked our socks off, with Carson usually skipping or running up the hills while Chad and I were huffing and puffing behind. We spent every evening back at the resort all together and had dinner up at Steve and Lanith's larger cabin. The nights were spent with the cousins playing kick the can until midnight while the parents played "Scum" until 1 or 2 in the morning. The week was perfect and went off without a hitch. Well, I did get a slight concussion while trying to slide down the 100 foot slip n slide while standing up. I really did see stars and that ended my sliding for the day. But the slip n slide was quite a hit for everyone else anyways! We had family pictures taken so I will post those when I get them.
