My Beloved Family - VERY LOOSE SCHEDULE

My Beloved Family . . . (this is a modified e-mail I sent last month)     
Lori, Susan, Joel, Valeri, Bret, Pat and Aaron - if you want your children to know about the reunion, it is your responsibility to inform them.  I don't have e-mail addresses for all of your kids.

After much contemplation and conversations with Mom, etc.  This is what I'd like to see happen.

We arrive August 18th - this is the day we get settled in and get organized.  Nothing exciting is planned for that night and since there will be a very small group in attendance, we will try to do pot luck. I plan to arrive around 3:00 p.m.

August 19th - My thought was that this would be our Downata Hot Springs day for anyone interested in going.  (*See asterisks on Friday.*) We are planning a treasure hunt that could be this morning if no one wants to take their kids swimming, otherwise, it will be Saturday morning.  If you are not interested in swimming we can play games but the official Game Night will be after dinner . . . Board games, card games, etc. (If you have a game you would like everyone to enjoy with you - BRING IT!! (There will be no babysitters on staff so plan activities for your children.)

Breakfast - Bartholomew
Lunch - Valeri and Jennifer
Dinner - Hendricks

August 20th -  Randy is going golfing with a group in Preston that morning and we could have kids activities and treasure hunt that morning with a volleyball or softball game for the adults - late morning before it gets hot.  **Lori, if you want to do a waterslide after lunch - you can organize that - we should probably get permission from the owners before we do though. (*This could be Friday all day if the Downata idea bombs.)  We could do the "Minute to Win It" competition in the evening if the waterslide thing happens, otherwise it will be after lunch.  I am wondering about an around the campfire activity for that night, but need to verify that we can have an outside fire.

Breakfast - Bartholomew
Lunch - Anderson
Dinner - Joel and Bret

August 21st - Breakfast and lunch provided - no activities planned

Breakfast - Bartholomew
Lunch - Left Overs, unless someone wants to volunteer!!

Family Reunion Activities

The intent was for those interested in Downata Hot Springs would attend on Friday afternoon.  Mandi and her kids are excited to go - anyone else wanting to go? Please let us know . . .

Saturday morning some are interested in golfing.  That would be happening at the Preston Golf Course, so let me know if you want to be included in the tee times.

Looks like Kaleena and Mandi - will be putting together the Minute to Win it competition.  This is Mom's idea - she loves this stuff!!!!

Melanie is heading up the kids games for Saturday.  We will be doing it for the kids under 12.  There will also be a treasure hunt!!

Nicholas Hendricks is putting together a volleyball tournament, in honor of Grandpa, also a softball game if we want.

Jennifer has offered to bring Rock Band - we could have a lot of fun with that!!

We're looking in to some campfire activities - (don't know yet if a campfire is allowed).

If any of these activities look like something you would like to help with, or do, or participate in or whatever, 

E-MAIL ME  we would love your HELP and INPUT!

ALSO - I was told - NO DOGS IN THE CABIN!!!!!!!!!
