ETA: Based on the poll - more people are able to come the 6th, and it gives me more time to get ready ;) So that's when we'll do it!

PM me if you need directions/my addy. Mapquest actually gives the correct directions if you want to use that.

And please reply if you are coming, so I can have an idea of how many to expect. DH's are welcome also - though I think mine will be off playing paintball that day :rolleyes: Also lmk if you need to spend the night, and if so if you'll be cming Fri or Sat.

You can start showing up at 1, and leave whenever ;) Bring a dish to share! I know that we'll have people with dairy, soy, and peanut allergies here, so if you make something with any of that in it, please let us know, and I think it would be better if there wasn't anything with peanuts at all. I'll have some drinks here, but if you or your kids are super picky bring something to drink too.

I think that's it, lmk if you have any other questions/suggestions/whatever!!





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just realiezed that "summer" is almost over!! I know a lot of schedules get busy when school starts again in just a couple weeks, so I want to do a get together before August!

I'm thinking the 30th. And as always anyone is welcome to "camp" at my house if they need to spend the night. I really enjoyed having it at the park last time - but I think it may just be too hot to do that again. So I'll say my house like last summer, unless you guys think the park would be ok. LMK what you think!

Also - Lauren (mamabear) is moving - so I kinda want to say "goodbye" to her too. Hopefully nothing will keep her from coming this time!! (sick kids, etc)

So - post here if you want to come - and give your ideas! Potluck was great everytime - so we'll stick to that! I know there is one mama with a ds with severe peanut allergies, so if we can avoid peanuts in our dishes, it will make it easier for them!

:wah: we always miss it! we were just in orlando last week, so it'll be a while before we get back.

The 30th sounds good to me!
As for ideas, my brain is tired. I agree that a potluck sounds good, though...

We'd love to come, we missed the last one:( but the 30th is out for us, wedding for someone on dh's squad.

Shoot! I'll just be coming back from Atlanta on the 30th. Waaaaaaa. I am always doing something else when there's a get-together!

I *might* be able to swing the 30th, although the kids and I might need to hang out late again.

Aww :( I was hoping to come and meet you all soon since I havent been able to yet, but the 30th is out for me cause its DH's family reunion weekend in AL

OK, so obviously the 30th isn't good for anyone! lol. What about the weekend after?

Ohhh I'd love to come, but I'm not sure if we can do the 30th because it's so close....

Well, if you have it on the 30th still I could come. The weekend after I'm working, but the weekend after that I'm off, etc.

Any weekend is good for me. So, unless I am in the middle of giving birth :monkeydan I should be able to come!!

Anytime is pretty good for me. Allision let me know what I can do to help. I am just down the road!!!

I could do it the weekend of the 30th, but not the weekend after, we'll be in Atlanta. So it looks like we won't make it. One of these days we'll get to another gathering. :)

OK - we'll just keep it the weekend of the 30th ;) Besides, I already told Lisa's dh that she has to be here then, lol.

What time is good for everyone? Do you want to do it later or earlier in the day? Chrissy has a putt putt thing to go to (Not sure what time) but if dh can't take her, I'll get her another ride. So anytime (just not TOO early) is ok with me.

If everyone can bring a dish to eat, and a drink that their kids like, that would be awesome.

People that are coming from a distance are welcome to spend Fri and Sat night. I can put all my kids in one bedroom, and the other has bunk beds and a trundle, and then I also have a futon matress in the sewing room, plus the living room has room for a air matress. So Basically I have room for 3 families as long as you don't mind being cramped! lol

Oh I want to come if I am not working but I just took my kids to spend a couple weeks with family back in NC :wah:
Am I welcome kidless?

Hope

You are more than welcome kidless ;)

The 30th sounds great to me! For once I don't have...eek...wait...have to check my schedule. K, should be fine, it's not my regular Saturday to work!

I will bring a gluten-free dish. I wish I could offer space to stay, but our house is on the market (er, will be by then, LOL) and likely we will actually be staying with my parents or my ILs in Port Orange/Deland so that our house can be shown!

I wanna go, I missed it alst year because I was supposed to be somewhere, and i am going to miss it this year because I am moving and probab;y having surgery, but if Shelly goes, i will try my darndest to make it, but it will probably be a day trip for me! So I can get back and rest!
i won't know for sure until the last minute if that is okay!

But next year NOTHING is stopping me ;)

Wendy would you be able to come with Shelly if she comes?

Otherwise the two of you are going to have to come visit me soon! And maybe I will try to get up there after the baby is born! And maybe once sooner than that!

Love to you guys up there!

Actually the weekend after would be good for me, as long as I can come up at like 4 pm or later...I have to work. But I just realized that with MIL leaving for most of August, and various other complications, I have to have the kids' birthday party/family going-away party on the 30th! Ack!

ok, since I can't decide, and it seems to be about split - go vote for when you'd like to do this in the poll in this forum!!

ETA: Based on the poll - more people are able to come the 6th, and it gives me more time to get ready ;) So that's when we'll do it!

I'm coming. Ds is allergic to gluten and eggs, and dairy only mildly. But I'll just bring a dish to share and/or something that he can eat, if that makes sense, so you don't need to worry about us.

I'm not sure when I will be there. It could be as late as 5 or 6 pm depending on when my massages are that day. It could also be 1 pm if they are early.

I'm so excited!!!! I will need directions.

but somehow I feel as if I wouldn't be welcomed. *sigh* I'll be thinking of you all though :)

You're welcome to come - glad to see you made it back safely.

Drat... I can't come. I am out of town until the 10th (we are talking AUGUST right?). Sigh.

I hope you all have a great time. :wah:

OMG I'm SO bummed!!! I'll be out of town the 1-12... but I plan on taking you up on your offer for sewing lessons VERY soon, Alison!

I am pretty sure we'll be coming. I can't wait to meet more amitymamas! :)

We can't make it. Maybe next time, we'll be in Atlanta this time.

I won't be able to make it either.

We'll be there with a dish to share!

-Jeannine & family

I thought we could make it, but I forgot about Justin's dental appt next week, and we're better off not spending the extra money, since I will pay for that at the visit. I was looking forward to it.... I will try extra hard to be at the next one!

I just wanted to say thank you to Allison for hosting this little get-together. I had a good time. :) Sorry I couldn't stay long.

See you on Monday!
-Jeannine

Wish I could have came! My ds couldn't handle that long of a car ride. Hopefully next time. :)
