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.
I don't know about brilliant ideas, but like Lindsay, I'm going to have to rsvp for one more. But don't worry, "it" won't make a peep! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the wallpaper on the site!
ReplyDeleteI'll talk with Lisa and let you know when we'll be there.
Well hot diggity dog, I finally got on. I haven't been able to do it before. I still can't get a picture on it says that it's too big. so I guess I'll be mysterious for now. I'm excited to see everyone.
ReplyDeleteI just had to come back to look at the wallpaper again.
ReplyDeleteHow is the fishing in the lake?
Is there a place near by to get a canoe?
