Countdown--Reunion 2009!

(This is really long, but please read it through. Also, please review the blog posts from June that go over our activities in more depth. Thanks for your support!)

I've been talking to a lot of people lately about the reunion and I think everyone is starting to think about packing and getting ready (for you, Adam, it is in 12 days). So, there are a couple of things I would like to go over:

1. Sleeping arrangements.
We have 2 inns that sleep 4 each and are at this time designated for Nikki's family and Lauren's family (minus Dallin and Cameron).
In the big cabin there are three floors. On the bottom floor there are three bedrooms. One has a queen bed with space of the floor for 2 others--this will be the Barney bedroom. One has a queen bed--Adam's room. And one has a twin bed--Lynne's room. There is a pull-out sofa on this floor in the main Living Room that can be used by Dallin and Cameron. There is a bathroom on this floor that can be shared by the people who sleep on this floor. On the second floor there is the kitchen and one bedroom with a queen bed which will be for Dad and Kathy. There are two bathrooms on this floor, one will be used (and I mean for showering and stuff) by Dad and Kathy and the other by residents of the third floor. The third floor has two bedrooms. One has two queen beds, this is for Jacque's family and one has one queen bed, for Brebre and Michael. As I see it, everyone will have a bed except for one of Jacque's kids and my kids on the floor of my room. The Inn provides bedding for all the beds, but anyone who sleeps on the floor will need to bring their own sheets, blankets, pillows. (Hopefully this will help me and Jacque decide what extras to bring.) I believe there are mini kitchens in the smaller units (Nikki's and Lauren's) and I'm hoping they will have decent sized refrigerators to help hold all the food stuff.
2. Food
I suggested that the girls bring extra breakfast and lunch stuff for Lynne and Dad and Kathy and Adam, but I think it may be easier for us to plan and buy and pack our meals if we knew what to expect on what days. So, could I assign us each a day to cover this? (Please don't get annoyed at me.) Here's one plan--if you need to change something let me know soon:
Tuesday (our drive up day)--everyone cover their own lunch and dinner
Wednesday (a local exploring day)--Jacque provide breakfast and lunch (Just for L,D,K,&A)
Lauren provide dinner for all
Thursday (our Zion's day)--Lauren provide breakfast and lunch (packed to go)
Dinner out at Zion's
Friday (a local fun day)--Nikki provide breakfast and lunch
Breanne provide dinner
Saturday(an afternoon trip to Cedar City)--Breanne provide breakfast and lunch
Jacque provide dinner (should everyone linger in Cedar City this day and wind up having dinner out--we could use Jacque's dinner for lunch on Sunday)
Sunday (a local day)--Doug wants me to have one hot breakfast day with eggs, bacon and bagel breakfast sandwiches. So I will do breakfast this day. We could possibly just snack for lunch.
Nikki provide dinner
Monday (the Bryce Canyon day)--Erika provide breakfast and lunch (packed to go)
--Erika provide dinner
Tuesday (pack up and leave day)--breakfast will be whatever leftovers are to be found

(Have I boggled your minds yet?)

3. Assignments
Dad--please bring up firewood and decide which restaurant in Zion's we should all meet at for dinner on Thursday
Adam--drinks, such as, bottled water, juices and sodas (I think we should all pack our own milk for breakfast)
Nikki--is bringing up songs and will be the coordinator for evening campfire fun. P.S. she has asked all the families to prepare little skits to perform, don't forget!
Lauren--is bringing up craft activities for the kids to do on some of our local days.

I think we are going to have a great time! Don't forget to click on the link in June's post and get the address and directions!! (It's so not fun to get in the car and realize you don't know where you are going.)

It all sounds good to me. Thanks for all the thought you've put into this.

Breanne said...

The breakfast thing sounds fine. But we need to know what L, D, K, & A like to eat for breakfast and lunch! If you guys posted a comment to let us know that would be great.

Hmmm, definitely eggs for BF, maybe just sandwiches for lunch?

Uh, it might be cereal and/or yogurt for breakfast from me, if I'm trying to pack stuff for lunch and get out the door in time for our appoint. at the sanctuary. Hope that's cool with L,D,K, and A?
