Hello family!
Wow this is a huge group. I should make a Facebook page for the family. Holy smokes.
Since we missed this summer’s opportunity for a get-together, I was going to start the planning process right about now. I figure this would give people time to make plans if they wanted to make it. Here’s our ginormous list of “7 + kids”:
June, Ross, Darren, Michael, Ian and Natalie
Chris, Marlys, Troy and Cheryl
Charlie, Cathy and Christy
Margie, Pat, Aaron and Amber
Janie, Ed, Erik, Heather and Dori
Bob, Ali, Bobby, Chris and Grace
Lori, Alan, Tara and Bryan
What I’m thinking is June 29th here in Seattle again and, much like last time, attending a Mariners game (the Chicago Cubs are in town that day). I’m more than open with going a different direction and doing a different thing but I’ve found it’s easier to suggest something rather than to play “I don’t know, what do you wanna do?”. I’m going to this Cubs / Mariners game either way and thought it would be a great opportunity to have all of us come together again. I know the last time we all got together, we had a lot of fun. The awesome weather helped out a lot, so cross your fingers on that one.
I’ve created a poll on to the right of this post. Vote what may be true for you so we can get an idea of what people are thinking. If you’ve got a better idea on what to do (like a massive BBQ or something at someone’s house for an afternoon for instance), I’m ALL ears! I just enjoy getting together and spending the day with you all.
The only family I don’t have represented in the list (of the “7 siblings”) is June. If someone wouldn’t mind passing along the information (or point her in the direction of accepting my friend request), that would be awesome. Please pass this along to other siblings and cousins as well (Bryan for instance).
We enjoyed the baseball game last year. The bleachers worked well because they were not full and we were free to move around and visit. The price was certainly affordable as well.
we are also open to other suggestions and willing to do most anything.
Thank you, Bobby.
We very much enjoyed the game too, it was so nice to see everyone!!! Thank you Bobby for reaching out to us all, We are willing to do anything, the BBQ sounds great too, Our house is always available:)
