How to Post

I cannot believe that I am teaching someone how to do something on the computer. lol If you want to post you must first click on "sign in" at the top right corner (in blue) with your email and password. Then your posts are published on the main page of the reunion blog and you then have access to other blogs from the family also.

Scotty and Lindsay, that is great about the discounts on rentals. Let get a final head count on who is coming and then we will figure out what we need for transportaion. Its basically the Hollister side that we will need vehicles for. So far....Andrea/Bill/Noah and Scotty/Lindsay/Trey and Ryan/Samantha/Madelyn and Scott/Tami/Olivia are confirmed coming so thats 12 people. Still need to hear from Amanda and Katie. I am thinking a large van and one smaller car so people could do day trips if they want.

Scott and Lindsay,

The car seat doesn't even count as one of you official "carry on" items which is cool. Just bring it to the gate and then decide if you want to put in on the plane to strap him in it or you can store it under the plane (handing it to them just before you board). Just wanted to make sure you knew that since we didn't the first time we really traveled with our little guy.

More Details

Tickets to the White House sounds fun, you just need to remember that from the lake to DC is 3 hrs away so we wont be able to just be going back and forth. You guys are coming earlier so maybe you could request the tickets for before we leave for the lake.

As far as helping with the reunion, I am going to ask that all the families with little kids organize one activity (craft, game, storytime, etc) for all the kids to do together. If each family takes a day, the little ones will have something fun each day just for them. Anyway, you can be thinking of what you want to do for that. I think we will have everyone take care of their own family for breakfast and lunch (or join forces with another family if you want) because there are grocery stores at the lake, and then we can all eat dinner together. As the time gets closer we will combine a couple families to be in charge of making dinner one night. You can be thinking of what you want to make when its your turn :)

I hadn't thought about bringing the car seat as a carry on for him to sit in. That's a good idea, we might do that. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help prepare for the reunion. I submitted a request to our congressman for 35 tickets to a White House/Library of Congress tour. I'm not sure if it will go through or not, but I thought it was worth a try. Also, I'm looking into some car rental discounts. I should be able to get some as a AAA employee. I'll let you know.

Scott and Lindsay said... That's hilarious. I thought it was strange that Grandma was grey and you were losing hair- and that those 3 kids were so close in age! I'm glad to find out I'm not the crazy one =)February 18, 2009 11:58 AM

Coming to Maryland

Yes, Scotty and Lindsay we can pick you up at the airport, it sounds like you are on the same flight as Grandma and Grandpa. We do have an extra car seat if you want to use it, but you may want to bring yours on the plane. The kids are usually more comfortable (and you too) in their car seats. You decide, but we have one if you want to use it. And Grandpa........I know the mind is the first to go......Those kids are not yours...they are your grandkids, Andrea, Shandra and Ryan!!

Hey Gramps

We're interested in leaving on Thursday. We'll be buying our plane tickets this week. I'll take a look at some Continental flights and let you know which one is most appealing to us. It'd be nice if we could catch the same one!
