Family Reunion Site

Our Family Reunion - July 28 & 29  SAVE THE DATE!!

Just to let you know that we went out to the family reunion site.  I encourage you to look up their website at back2thewoods.com

I am excited.  It is beautiful.  Besides having the lodge with a wonderful completely furnished kitchen area, a hide-a-bed and futon.  A large commercial gas stove c/w grill perfect for making pancakes.  Two BBQ's, and a covered area with picnic tables.  A wonderful firepit with benches around it.  A horseshoe pit, volleyball net (bring our own ball) a little playground area for toddlers with swings and slide and a nice area for playing ball.

There is a small zipline for those weighing less than 180 lbs.  Anyone using the zipline needs to sign a waiver and it also requires two adults - one at each end to ensure the participant gets on and off safely. 

Beautiful free areas for tenting and parking of trailers and RV's but no hookups.  Mens & ladies washrooms, each with a shower.  The water in the well is drinkable but they suggest that we bring our own water because it has a bit of a sulphur taste.  There is a water cooler so we only need to bring the large bottles of water.

Even though there are four bedrooms available at an extra cost to whoever uses them, if you have a camper or RV, please bring it so the rooms can be used by those with babies who don't have a camper.

At this point we are booked to arrive Saturday morning and leave Sunday evening.  It would be possible to use the facility for another night.  If we decide to do that, please let me know if you would prefer to arrive Friday night and leave Sunday or arrive Saturday and leave Monday. Otherwise we will stay with the Saturday and Sunday booking.

As for the cost:  I see us as taking the major cost and splitting it between families.  Anyone using a sleeping room would need to pay for it themselves. 

As to food - suggestions would be appreciated. Sunday morning breakfast is already planned. 

Love to you all,
Gramma & Grampa

We sure are looking forward to the reunion! Thanks Mom & Dad for taking the lead! We want to stay for 2 nights...it doesn't matter if we come on Friday or Saturday as we'll be on vacation. Whatever dates are decided will be good with us.

Love,
