Grandma Cathy Visits + Punta Cana

We have had a crazy and fun two weeks here!  Grandma Cathy came down to visit for a few days before Keith and I left for Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.  As you may have guessed, when Grandma Cathy was here, we shopped until we dropped, walked many miles, and played tons!  With the expanding Snyder family (4 grandbabies) it is always fun to shop for the little ones!  Here are some pictures from her visit:

A sample of our shopping - mustache onesie and jeans!

Keith and I booked our trip to Punta Cana with our friends from Chicago (Annie and Mike) at the beginning of the summer and have been looking forward to it for a while - and we had absolute blast to say the least!  We stayed at the Majestic Colonial resort and spent most of our time in the pool, enjoying fruity drinks, laying out, reading, napping, and of course playing card games.  The weather was fabulous all but one day so we were very lucky!  Unfortunately, the food at the resort wasn't too great but no one got sick so that was a plus (different from our trip 2 years ago to Mexico)!  It was interesting at this resort... most of the employees didn't speak very much English so I got to use my Spanish, which made me realize how much I missed speaking it.  I did a horrible job with pictures, so here are the few that I took on my phone...

Best friends since we were 5!

Adios Punta Cana

 So happy to come home to a smiley baby!

While we were in the Dominican, Connor got extra spoiled and spent half of the week with Grandma Cathy then went to the Slagle's for the last half.  Both families reported back that he loved eating, sleeping, and playing.  Keith and I returned to a happy and rested baby - always a bonus! :)

Also - while we were gone, Connor had his 6 month birthday... that post will come when I get time to take his pictures :)
