Reunion

Sorry that I am so slow to post...no excuses, just an apology.

1. We do not need to go somewhere to swim. We like to swim, but we don't need to swim. We are just as happy to go to a splash park somewhere. (We don't mind swimming either!)

2. We don't mind paying to do some things. If there are things that we want to do, we can pay to do them. We will not stress about the cost of things (to some extent!!).

3. We are bringing a craft, air compressor rockets. Super fun for all ages! This craft can be done anytime, anywhere (ok, not really, it has to be near Mike's air compressor)

4. We like to take family walks and like to play at the play ground, so we do not have to have every minute planned and we will not just sit around and annoy people by asking what we are supposed to do. We will be happy to have some down time that we can just go to the playground and rest.

5. We are all super excited to see everyone!

Plan updates/changes

Hey, just FYI, I updated and changed a few things on the previous Reunion post, you can scroll down to see it.  The changes are based on comments and posts that were shared since then.  I tried to highlight them in blue.  Please let me know if there is something you don't like or any errors I have made.  I also seem to think we are changing the Fox Run park date?  Is that true, where did we move it to?  Also, I made FHE assignments.  If you no likey, you better say so!  Thanks for your input!

Answers to Mandy's post

Ok, I'm finally getting around to answering Mandy's questions in the last post.  Here are my thoughts:

I think Saturday is a busy day with the farm and then the park so I was thinking we don't need a big activity that day for the afternoon activity.  I was thinking something more relaxed that we don't have to plan--perhaps backyard play or water games or a craft.  Something along those lines.

For Sunday Mike doesn't want to do a family fast.  I was thinking since it's a Sunday we could either do some family games (minute to win it type stuff or some other group games), a nice walk around the neighborhood (does anyone like doing this or is it just my family?) or a drive to the cemetery.  

On Monday I was thinking a girl time type activity, bowling, park, or maybe this would be a good time for the savenger hunt?  For the FHE assignment, we  can take care of the activity because I think it will be easier for us to do that since it's at our house and we can plan for that easier probably.  The only deal on that is that whoever does the lesson will need to tell us the topic so we can try and coordinate (which I guess doesn't matter too much)

I was thinking maybe Wed, the 4th of July would be a good day for the splash pad.  I was thinking Monday but Monday is supposed to be a swimming day.  Also, I can't find any parades going on that day but found this link http://www.cohomepages.com/Holidays_4th_of_July/page_2087791.html if anyone wants to check it out and is interested in any of those activities.  I think fireworks are illegal in colorado springs (it's dry and windy here).

There are some thoughts.  Oh, I plan on exercising whenever I am able so maybe some walks or something can be squeezed in there somewhere.  Also, I'm trying to figure out where we will swim but if you want to swim, you will probably have to pay some money for it.  If you don't want to do that--speak up or forever hold your peace!!  Or, we can not swim and just do the splash pad.
