Finalized reunion schedule

Thursday May 27
Arrive in Utah sometime this day for out-of-towners.

Friday May 28
Breakfast on your own. (Those of us staying at the house...we'll have breakfast foods there.)
We're calling this the Salt Lake Day...
Morning - Temple Square (some families may want to spend some time at the zoo morning or afternoon - this can be coordinated the night before with those interested.) Pretty much everything on Temple Square is free. The Joseph Smith movie is shown at 1:30 and 3:00. The zoo is $8 for adults, $6 for children, 2 and younger are free. There is a discount for a group of 20 or more if we have that many choose to go.
Lunch - Somewhere in SLC...there are restaurants around Temple Square and there is a mall with a food court right across the street. There is always the option of your family bringing along a sack lunch too.
Afternoon - Continued in SLC...we want everyone to have ample time to do the many activities on Temple Square that there are to choose from.
Dinner - All gather at the house and eat together. The rest of the evening can be spent playing games, visiting, etc.
This dinner assignment will be taken care of by Darran/Lori and Derek/Shantal.

Saturday May 29
Breakfast on your own.
We're calling this the BYU day...I know...creative!
Morning - Family pictures on BYU campus. Plan on pictures of the entire group, individual families, cousins, etc. We will let you know the specific time and location beforehand.
Lunch - on campus.
Afternoon - Activities on campus such as bowling, arcade, museum, swimming...whatever is appropriate for your family. It's been too long for me...I don't remember the prices of any of these activities. We'll wait for Derek/Shantal to get back with us on that one!
Swing by Dallan and April's new house in progress (with their permission) for those who want to see it.
Dinner - BBQ in the canyon. This dinner assignment will be taken care of by Chris/Missy and Dustin/Alanna.

Sunday May 30
Breakfast on your own.
Church hopefully close to the rented house at 9:00.
Lunch - All gather at the house and eat together. This lunch assignment will be taken care of by Dallan/April and Kevin/Megan.
Afternoon - Spent at the house visiting, etc.
Dinner - All together at the house. This dinner assignment will be taken care of by Dean/Sarah and Greg/Kelly.
FHE that evening. FYI - Grandmother Moody will most likely spend this whole day with us too.

Monday May 31
Travel home.

As far as specific times for meals, when to meet all together, etc. we're planning on deciding those as each day approaches. Hopefully this schedule allows our family lots of time together but the flexibility that some of us may need also.

These were the assignments given out in the original email...many thanks to all those who already fulfilled their assignments!
Dallan/April - Will you find a photographer that would be willing to take our family pictures? Cost? Location? Etc.
Derek/Shantal - Will you make up some sort of list of things we could do on campus (i.e. swimming, bowling), how much they each cost, and when they are available to do?
Kevin/Megan - Will you be responsible for figuring out a program of sorts when we're in the canyon? Balls/frisbees to play with? Firewood for the fire, etc?
Greg/Kelly - Will you get details on the Hogle Zoo? Hours? Coupons or group tickets?
Dustin/Alanna - Will you make up a list of things we could do on Temple Square (Joseph Smith movie, etc.) with the cost and times of those?
Dad/Ek - Will you plan the FHE for Sunday night?
Darran/Lori - Will be helping with the FHE.
Chris/Missy - Will be finding/reserving somewhere in the canyon for us to gather.
