Snowbird and Capell Reunion 2009

We went to Snowbird , Utah the end of July- first of Aug. We had a great time. We were able to have Darren and Josh meet us up there. BYUI just got out in time for snowbird. On the way to snowbird Glade, Brad and I stopped at Sheldon, and Suzanne's , Glade's brother to spend the night. We were so glad that they had a bed to sleep on. We had fun visiting. Also we went with Sheldon and Suzanne , Cynthia and Raymond's, Glades brother for Dinner together. We went to Chili's. We thought it would be good to get together for a visit. We got up to snowbird about 10pm. Darren, Josh and Brad went up at 5pm. On Sunday we had our Walker Dinner at the Westmoreland's room and also the church service up in the cannon. Sunday night we had Diana talk about her mission homecoming. It was really fun to her talk about Paraguay. Monday we all went to the pool's , video games ,movies and Bingo. We had a BBQ with the Walker family too. After who ever wanted went to a Bee's baseball game in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tuesday we went on a Hike to Donate Falls. It was beautiful. Then that night we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple for the Open house. It is an one is a million experience. It was beautiful. Glade felt for Idaho to visit his parents more. Wednesday we went to a baby shower for Amy. Michelle, and Andrea . After those that wanted went camping. It was by the river right by snowbird. Josh, Darren and Brad went and goofed of but came back to sleep. Thursday we went to the snowbird center. We also hang out and played games and swam. We had to leave about 5:30 pm to go to Idaho. We got to grandma and grandpa Capell's that night . Friday we hang out and visited family and the kids played video game and board games. Actually the kids did a lot of that at Snowbird to with cousins. It is a major thing to do there. Saturday we went to the reunion for the Capell's. It was so good to see all of every one's families. We ate ,played games and basketball at the reunion. We loved visiting Grandma ,Grandpa Capell and all. We decided we needed to leave after the reunion to go to California so Darren could get back for a family picture with Natalie's family. Plus Glade needed to be able to sleep before work Sunday night. Natalie took out her endowments at the Oakland Temple Tuesday . We got to meet her parents and talk about the Wedding. It was really fun. So here we are up to today. We have been sick Glade and I on our vacation . We both got some virus and haven't been feeling well. We are doing better now. This week after vacation we both have been trying to recuperate from the trip and sickness. All and all we had a great trip. We love vacations.
