No place like home

We made a trip to Utah recently for our 1st Annual Snarr Reunion 2010! Lee and Syd planned a wonderful gathering for us all in the beautiful mountains of Park City. We stayed in a cabin fit for all 15 of us.

Our reunion was themed around the Wizard of Oz and how "There is no place like home." We were all happy to be "home." Home...not merely a place but rather a gathering of family and friends, where good times and fond memories are shared. Here are a few highlights of our trip:

Home run derby, kite flying, and the playground at the park.



We met our new nephew, Oliver Marshall Snarr. What a cute and happy 'lil boy!



We celebrated Dawns birthday by spending the day on the alpine slide, roller coaster, and zip line in Park city. I had heard all about this popular attraction but had never been...now I know what all the talk is about and it is definitely worth it! I can't wait to go back...the rollercoaster is the best since you can control your speed. Just don't put Ben in charge of the speed...he'll slow it down on the corners. :) haha.


We celebrated Annie's 2nd birthday by going on a Thomas the Train ride in Heber city. Thomas is her favorite thing right now. It was so cute to see how excited she was to see and ride Thomas!



Grandma and Grandpa bought super cute train hats for the kids to wear.




The whole family attended the wedding of our friend Sara Hall, to Zachary Almeida on May 29th. Sara was roommates with Abby at BYU-I and would spend many weekends and holidays at the Snarr house. They love her like a sister. I was friends with Sara also at BYU-I before I even met the Snarr family. I wonder how Abby and I didn't meet, even when I visited Sara at the apartment they shared. What a small world! The two had a beautiful ceremony in the Salt Lake City Temple and a gorgeaus reception at Thanksgiving point. They make such a darling couple, we are so happy for them!




Ali took this adorable picture of Jackson and Kensington. Abby definitely makes sure these two are so stylish. I want to frame this on my wall!


How handsome are they?! Gap and Baby Gap Models. ;)

Check out the necklaces Syd and Kenz are wearing...Abby, miss crafty, made those!

We ended the reunion with a bang! Literally. We had train pinata that the kids had a fun time with. We had such a wonderful time with our family and can't wait for another reunion. Thanks Lee and Syd for putting it on, and making us feeling "at home!"


Before the reunion began we had a get-together with Ben's best friends from high school. We had such a great time reconnecting, reminicsing, seeing how all the kids have grown, and meeting the newest addition, baby Tucker Moosman. We enjoyed great company and great food, everyone brought a delicious dish to share...by the way thanks ladies for sharing the recipes!


While in Utah, Ben and I were able to meet up with Heather for dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate her birthday! It was so good to see and catch up with her since she recently returned from a semester in New Zealand....lucky girl! We love you Heather, happy birthday!
