Tyler has said we should get a block of rooms in Draper so that we can do stuff at his house, just not sleep there. So, I'm going to try and reserve the same old hotel we always stay in there next to the outlet thingy.

This particular weekend is a good one for Utah because most people from Utah are leaving Utah for the holiday.

Right now it is going to be July 25th - July 27th. We have the Uinta Terrace reserved for 50 people in the Northeast (quiet) section of the park with trees and grass. We got discounted tickets you can purchase from me for 19.50 each, children three and under get in free and can ride the ferris wheel, the merry go round and the train for free. The other rides will cost 16.00 if you want an all day pass.

I will try to get a block of rooms at a nearby hotel (Centerville) and a few suites. The plan is to check in Friday night and chit chat, and then Saturday party at Lagoon until you drop. One more night at the hotel and free for all on Sunday. Food will be planned, so don't worry about it. If we contact you to bring something, please do. Plan on bringing a cooler, though, so you can help carry all the food into the park. Should be a party.

Ben, our e-mail is cdholmes4@hotmail.com

We are sorry that you went through so much trouble with the reunion Ben, we thought it sounded like a ton of fun. We could possibly get to Utah in August if we want to have a get-together then. You could all come to Reno and gamble and go to Lake Tahoe! There are lots of great trails to kill yourself on a bike too! he he

I will see you tomorrow Polly, you know I must love you if I am driving 4 hours with 3 screaming kids!

Chris and Julie - what is your e-mail address? Send me it to my e-mail address, which I'm sure you have.

REUNION NOTICE:

REUNION NOTICE:

There is no reunion.
That is all.

Mostly kidding. Here's the deal: We went to a bit of trouble setting up the reunion at the Snow Mountain ranch, and that fell through because of lack of interest, lack of money, and lack of some people being able to attend. So, you can't say we didn't try.

There are "gatherings" going on, one in July in Salmon which we have yet to decide if we're going. There will be others, no doubt. Anyway, Julie is freaking out wanting me to let everyone know what the plan is and all that. This family is just too big to have an annual reunion placable to everyone involved. And, I've learned, I'm not the one to be in charge of these things. That being said:

I think it would be great, for those who can, to get together sometime this summer, and if there is some event more than one family is going to, we should piggy-back on that. Here are some of the ideas I've heard so far:

Cedar City (Zions National Park) in August.
Salmon over the 4th of July.
Lagoon in Utah for a day (maybe the same time frame as 4th of July in Salmon, maybe do both).

Any other suggestions? Please let me know. More importantly, please let me know any time you CANNOT attend (scout camp, business trip, liposuction...), or if you have any desire whatsoever to get together. A lack of a response will be an indication of you don't care, in which case I will drop this subject like a Frenchman dropping his rifle.
