Introduction for plans

Hi Lane Family,

This blog is set up so that the whole family can participate in setting up a family reunion. Mom would love to have all of us children and families together.
First of all we need to decide how many people would participate and then decide what dates work for all of us. The idea is to plan this far enough ahead so that everyone can get the time off from work and "life" and then also be able to afford the trip. We are open to anywhere in the states. (I don't think mom wants to go out of the country.) When we asked her about Mexico she wasn't to excited about that. So... all ideas are wanted and we can all get all the info from each other from this blog.

Love ya, Deb

  6. May be we should all put in our family size to get an idea of how many people. I at this time would guess 6 adults 5 kids by next summer

  7. We should be able to go where ever....but with my job it is hard to say...we would have 2 adults and 2 teenagers...

  9. Viva la Mexico! I can get some body gaurds. Maybe even round up some body armor. ;) If Gram doesn't want Mexico, I was thinking we could have a internet reunion. Ya, web cams. Just think a reunion in the comfort of you home.

  10. Mexico would work for me sometime when it is raining here i could do with some HOT sunshine and warm beach

    ReplyDelete
  11. Are you guys nuts...That is the most UNSAFE place to be right now..not sure if we would go.

    ReplyDelete
  12. HOw about CA or Flordia? HOT sunny white sandy beach!

    ReplyDelete
  13. So, Bill and I would go.... that is two more!

  14. Ok so maybe Mexico is out but the idea of a hot sandy beach sounds great guess we should place some sites with an idea of prices and things to do. What do people want this to look like me i would like someplace that has places for some campfires and some place where we could do things as a group/ and some things on our own also thinking of the difference ages we will have so someplace with lots choices

  20. Wait think that one is kinda spendy..thought that was the price for a family of three..didn't realize it was per person... lol will check out some more....

    ReplyDelete
  21. unless they give different pricing for reunions...it looks like any where from $1000.00 per person to $1500.00 per person for 5-7 days...Don't think unless this is planned for next year that everyone could come up with that kind of money...any other ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  22. another idea could be to have the main meet here in Butte then rent some vehicles (vans) to do different activities...such as yellowstone....big timber....boating and jet sking at the lake...

  24. WOw sounds like some fun... What does mom think of all these ideas? Can someone in Butte read her all the comments?

    ReplyDelete
  25. I read them to her and she thinks Montana is the place to look. She is going to call a couple of places and get info. Wonder what she will find?

    ReplyDelete
  26. She found that one of the places only holds 32 people. They suggested a place near Seeley Lake. Anyone know anything about this?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Where did everyone go???? I feel all lost out here in the blogg world alone.
