Yes, that is a bold snub.  The fact you all normally get together on a regular basis plus take annual vacations together makes it super awkward.  They really should have notified you.

I agree.  I think it's a clear message that they do not view you as close friends anymore.  Who knows what happened -- but now you know and can move forward with that knowledge.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, that's it, and it feels pretty awful.  I have known for a while that the other two families are closer with each other and get together more often with each other and without us.  I guess this episode just brings it home all the more starkly. [/quote]

So you knew but you just didn't want to know.  
I think that's a fine attitude for adults but for kids who maybe are more vulnerable you need to be more active about these situations.  Once you see the drift away, acknowledge it and don't ignore.  Then move on yourself.  Look back fondly at those memories and try to impart to your kids that friendships and situations change. [/quote]
