2012 Date: Saturday, September 1st

Mark your calendars now!!

Stay tuned for location ideas . . .

Finding a Date

One thing's for sure, this is a busy summer for the extended Larson family with reunions, trips, a new baby, and moving!

I've heard from quite a few people at this point (not all, please weigh in!) and this is where we're at now:

23 June -- bad for Jolene & Kristine

30 June -- bad for Jolene & Kristine

7 July -- #1 for Chris, #2 for Jolene

14 July -- #1 for Jolene, questionable for Chris

11 August -- #1 for Kristine, questionable for Jolene, not possible for Janine

Jason, Jessica, Heather (contingent upon moving plans), my parents, and I are game for any of these dates.

So that's how things are shaping up right now. I didn't initially ask about later in August or Labor Day weekend, but maybe those would be just as good for people? Send me feedback via email or in the comments here, and we'll try to figure this out!

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who attended the reunion. I think everyone had a nice time. The weather was perfect and it was nice to visit and relax.

Here's the group shot. We need to set something up so we can all share photos. I was thinking either Picasa or Facebook.

Food for the reunion

We looked at a few options and decided Costco platters were our best bet for lunch at the Reunion. So here is the menu:

Crescent sandwiches (platter from Costco)


Tortilla sandwich rolls(platter from Costco)


Veggie platter and dip

Watermelon

Cantaloupe

Pineapple

Several varieties of chips(open for suggestions)

Water, water and more water - plus some of those individual flavoring pouches, in different flavors.

If you have a need for something other than that to drink, please bring your own :)

Cookies(Costco)



We also thought we should have a small snack for later, so that snack will include:

Crackers
Cheeses
Grapes
Carrots
and anything leftover from lunch

If there is something you'd like to bring to add, please feel free

The cost for food will be $7.50 for adults and $3 for kids(Gabe, Nathan and Ayda being the kids)
You can send the money to Linda at 2505 Olmo Ct Bakersfield, CA 93309, Or just bring it on June 26th to the Reunion.


We plan to be at the park by 11am to set-up and make a run to Costco. Lunch will be served around noon.

Can't wait to see everyone there!!!

How does this sound?

We bring our own shade and tables(we will take care of that) and if everyone could bring a lawn chair they could use, or blankets to sit on.

As far as food. My mom and I are willing to get all the food. We'll do a meat/cheese platter with rolls, fruits or veggies, chips, drinks and some cookies. We will figure out the cost of everything and divide it by person.

We could plan to have lunch around noon. We will be there early to set up and get food. So people can come when they want and leave when they want.

Rancho Simi Park

Shade Options

To reserve the pavillion at Rancho Simi Park for June 26th it would be $125 for 4 hours. (We could split the cost per larger family(by 4 - $32) or per individual family(potentially by 10 - $12.50)

Another option is the grass, bring tables and easy-ups. I know my folks have one that could fit all of us. We could bring a few tables and everyone bring your own chairs.

Any food suggestions?

We could all pitch in for a main dish, (like hamburgers) and then everyone bring something for a side dish.

Or we just pitch in money and 1 person buys all the food.

Or we could all bring our own food.

Do we have a date?

I've received a few emails, and it looks like we might have a good date - June 26th, 2010.

I'll let that sink in a little...
