The weekend after Fall Break, Dan and I, along with Emily and Julia
headed to St. George for the Edward Hunter Snow Family Reunion.
The prelude to the main event on Saturday, was a beautiful program
in the St. George Tabernacle honoring Dan's great grandfather,
Edward Hunter Snow. Renowned historian, Thomas Alexander,
was one of the speakers Friday who highlighted the countless contributions Edward Snow
made to Southern Utah, particularly the modernization of the area
and the creation of Dixie College and Southern Utah University to name a few.
Above is a photograph of Julia Josephine Snow, for whom my Julia is named.
Our Julia was the only person asked to stand during Thomas Alexander's remarks
in the Tabernacle because she is the only namesake of Edward's mother.
The photograph above is of Sarah Hannah Snow for whom Hannah is named.
She is Edward Hunter's wife and an amazing person in her own rite. Along with every
outstanding man is an equally outstanding woman.
This holds true in Edward and Hannah's case as well.
No trip to St. George is complete without going through Snow Canyon.
I never tire of the red rocks and endless views.
The only people missing this trip were Hilary and Hannah.
They had inadvertently asked dates to Sadie Hawkins the same weekend.
Needless to say, they had the BEST time with these guys.
Sadie's Goes Eighties was the theme and boy, they make the decade look good!

Loved the history of Hannah and Julia's names! Also, the Sadies theme and pictures were classic!
