Woo Hoo... Are you all Coming?

Woo Hoo....

Are you all coming to the meeting of the six families?

Hi Folks,

 I've been given permission (and authorization) to make posts on this blog.  This little bit of 'power' awarded me could make things interesting.  I have never made or posted things on a blog before, I'm not really into socializing on the internet, I'm actually quite anti - facebook/twitter, and I don't send text messages (mostly because we only have a 'dumb' phone and it is too much effort).   I guess my kids are too young to pressure us into moving into the 21st century.  I can see the value of this blog for our family gathering purposes.  I've been assured by the keeper of the blog that this is a private blog and you can only access it by entering the exact website.  You can not Google or Bing it.  That being said, we have as much privacy as the web can provide (which actually is none...)  So bear with me as I learn... and have some fun!

Last Friday my Dad, Travis and I went out to visit Providence to reacquaint ourselves with the place and help solidify plans for the upcoming gathering/party.  I'm getting kind of excited about the whole deal.  They've added a fire ring so we can have a fireside time (big drawing card for our family as we are pyro's at heart - and it's far enough from where you will park the motor home, Mom, so it won't smell like smoke) and a bit of playground equipment for the kids.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can enjoy the outdoors.  For those who are not so keen outside, apparently we will have access to computers/internet in Reimer (Dining) Hall.  Our family purchased a tent trailer last fall and we haven't had a chance to officially 'christen' our new digs but we plan to bring it and try it out.  May need help setting it up...

 

I saw this advertised on Kijiji and the ad said "only a few leaks but we'll throw in the tarp and you are good to go"  Any volunteers to help set up camp?

Okay, so this is not the unit we purchased, but I thought the ad was great.  If you want to see our trailer, you have to come out to the gathering.

So here's the clincher - who is going to come out and enjoy the fun with us?  There will be another official email going out in the next little while looking for various things but most important is are you going to come?   The farthest guests that I know of are coming from Seattle, Washington.  Can anybody beat them?  Hmmm....there should be a prize awarded to the people who come from the farthest away.  Is Simcoe Ontario area, further away than Seattle?

We would really enjoy your comments on our blog so feel free to say something inspiring or profound in the comments area.  Thanks.

From behind the backs of the committee,
