Now what?

So does this blog like go away now or what? Does anyone have pictures to post? Does Ryan really have a candy addiction? Is Scotty's job really that confidential? Could I really blow up the world if I knew how many GPS satelites there are up there?
We had a great time will all of you. Hope to see you at the next reunion.

Important!!

Some of you are coming early to go sightseeing. Do NOT go with Scotty to Ft McHenry in Baltimore!! If you happen to fall off a wall and roll onto the grass, holding a camera, he will laugh at you! Yes, he will, With his evil laugh too.

Two weeks and counting>>>>

We just got back from the lake, taking up some stuff for the reunion and getting ready, We are so excited to have everyone come out here.!!

A couple of things....

We are going to be going in shifts to the airport and lake, so will everyone please send your cell numbers. We will pick you up at the curb at the airport and we want to be able to find you.

There is one small change in the dinner schedule I posted earlier. Tami/Katie will switch with Lindsay/Lisa. Lindsay/Lisa will now cook for the group on Tuesday and Tami/Katie will now have Thursday. And when I name the women, I of course mean husbands too!! Everyone else's day stays the same. Just so you can plan, I am BBQ ing hamburgers and hotdogs Sunday night. We will have some food in your house so you wont have to shop until Monday.

Any questions?? Anything I haven't thought of ??

About the food...........

In planning the meal you are going to make for the family, keep in mind, my boys EAT A LOT! This is them at a pasta eating contest followed by an ice cream eating contest. Matt won them both! But Brady and Brian are no slackers.

website for lakehouse

Lindsay wanted a website to look at our development. You can go to www.waterfrontgreens.net and see where our house is. If you click on "properties" there is actually a picture of our house--the one on the right.

Troy thinks he's funny!

Yes, The green wallpaper is amazing isn't it Troy?? In answer to your questions: We have a canoe at the lake so you can use it AND we have caught fish, but nothing you would want to eat!! Actually there are fishermen that supposedly catch bass on the lake. There is also a catch and realease pond in our development. We only have 1 fishing pole though.

The latest scoop on the reunion!!!

Dave and I are getting excited planning for our reunion that is just a couple months from now.

Here's some of the plans and details...............

• Dave and I will rent 2 mini-vans for the folks from Colorado Springs and you can go up in shifts on Saturday if you want to. There are 14 of you total, not counting Grandma/Grandpa or Troys family. It is a 2 1/2 hour drive to the lake from our house.

• The Hollister clan and Troy and Lisa will be together in the house across the street.

• There is a Walmart up there where everyone can shop, so we figured each family will be in charge of their own breakfast and lunch and then we will take turns cooking dinner for all 38 of us. Here is a suggested schedule:

Saturday everyone can just grab something to eat on the way to the Lake

Sunday: Terri/Dave and Brooke

Monday: Shandra/Jason and Christy/Brady

Tuesday: Tami/Scott and Katie/Kyle

Wednesday: Andrea/Bill and Samantha/Ryan

Thursday: Lindsay/Scotty and Lisa/Troy

Friday: We'll order Pizza for everyone

• Since it will be later on Saturday when we arrive, we will stock your house with food to get you through the weekend.
• There is a Branch up there for anyone who wants to go to church on Sunday.
• We will have the boat with skis, knee board, wake board and tubes. Other things to do:

Close and free:

3-par golf course, tennis, mini-golf, nature center, State Park with sandy beach and hiking trails, Trail to waterfall, indoor pool

Close but cost $:

Mountain coaster, theater, restarants, gift shops, white water rafting, frisbee golf, jet skis

• There are a total of 11 kids ages 3-9 years and we thought it would be fun to have some type of activity for them each day. Each mom can take one day and plan an activity or craft. The schedule could be this:

Monday: Lindsay; Tuesday: Christy; Wednesday: Shandra; Thursday: Samantha; Friday: Andrea

Thats it for now. Let us know if you have any brilliant ideas.
