BYU- 10 Year Reunion + 4th of July weekend in Utah

Since I was Student Body Vice President ages ago, I now get to plan class reunions every 10 years(...didn't see that in the fine print, when I ran for elections). This year we decided to plan the event over the 4th of July weekend. We had a pancake breakfast before the 4th of July parade, a Color Run Friday morning after the 4th of July, a Galla dinner with key note speaker President Bateman, and a hike the Y event followed by the BBQ club Saturday morning.  

I was in charge of Friday which was the Color Run & the Bateman Galla Dinner. 
The Color Run, is a world famouse company founded by BYU Alumni from my graduating class, John & Heidi Snyder. This company has gone from local 5K runs in Utah to selling franchises of their race all over the world. They put this race on for free and brought all the props and staff. They designed the T-shirts and I couldn't have been happier when I discovered them and then got to know Heidi- what a Jem!

My little sister Tenille helped with the event! Thanks Tenille
In between Reunion events I was able to hang out with my sister Tenille (thanks for letting me stay at your house (and wear your socks)Tenille), visit my dear friends the Flamms who had JUST lost their daughter to cancer a few weeks before, visit my grandparents in Utah who are getting quite old (grandpa is pushing the mid-90's now) and visit my dad, his partner Kelly, and the Park City Outlets! 

Overall the trip was quick, and I didn't get to say Hi to everyone I wanted too but good. . 
Grandpa has a happy face!
I love my grandparents!
The Flamm Fam, minus Millie :(
