Camping with the Pugh's

It's been a whirlwind of a weekend, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The Pugh's have a family reunion ever summer down at their Southern Utah cabin in Kolob.

So Friday night we trekked on down with Jake and Mary.

Jetted off the Cedar exit and were partway up the canyon, before we realized we were almost out of gas. Turnaround.

Turnaround.

Made it to Kolob Resevoir when Aar started noticing the car was driving funny. "We're on dirt roads" I said.

[Break on side of the road..... 2 FLAT tires]

Almost made it to the home stretch but my tires were goners. Luckily my bro-in-law Dale has a truck and was luckily [and so were we] in an area of cell reception.

By then it was about midnight, I was half asleep and not looking forward to setting up camp. Suzanne came to the rescue and let us sleep on the couch beds.

Aaron and his Dad headed back down in the morning to take the tires off, and we loaded them into Suzanne's car and headed down to Hurricane to get new tires.

So of course we had to stop by Swig...... we always find a way!

 Pretty sure Mary and I are addicts... it's cool.

 After our Swig stop, we got matching shirts & headbands at Walmart [like we were in 5th grade again], had delicious wood fire pizza [thanks Suzanne] and headed back up to Kolob. And boy was I glad since it was 100+ degrees in Hurricane!

 The resevoir was gorgeous and the weather perfect. We played volleyball, fished, had dutch oven dinners, smores and played games.

 Me and the in-laws.

Til next time Kolob! [and hopefully you're nicer to us!]
