Well I put in our vacation for the boys to be at the family reunion on the dates we all chose last year. In the court order we need to know the dates by April 1st or we forfite our 2 week time. I can't change our dates for Max and Christian now. This is our only vacation for the summer. Justin and Bethony gave up invitations to work at a clinic to go to this. And McKenzie gave up camp during that week to go to the vacation. All the camp spaces are full now and she can't get in. I understand stuff comes up but we can not attend any other weekend. Sorry I will miss you all. Justin, Max, and Christian are bummed.
Love you, and we did cancel our time at the lake. I understand Ben has court and it can not be moved and Aunt Suzie is getting married. But I and Whitney have sports for 4 kids, and work. It sucks but we need time to plan dates. I hope you understand our side. love ya

Why not keep the dates we had and just find where to meet ?!! With the full dates 17th thru the 21st. people can get there late or early and meet ?!! Even if WE get there one day later, or anyone, we all have things we ALL have do do but that just gives us a longer time for hit and misses. Example, if we get notified they are changing the time we can still and will be there the first day. If a person has to go back early they rest can still be there !! Anywhere we camp will be cheaper than Lake of the Woods and that can save everyone money.
Again, keep the dates we had, just change the location.
That sounds fine to me. We have other things planned around those dates too. Ben's right, same dates, different place. Peter and Karen's place, that campground between Medford and Grants Pass, or CC by the sea, or ?

Here's a link to the place we had the first reunion halfway between Grants Pass and Medford. It looks like they have a group site, tent sites, yurts, RV sites.

so what is the issue with the dates that were already set? i can understand cost of location. seems like this was one of the things that came up. my opinion is, since that was what was decided a year ago and some people have already scheduled their vacation for that time we need to stick to that. some of us cant just take time offf as we please.
Ok, looks like all who have chimed in agree, same time, place doesn't matter. Let's stay on this, come up with a place. Karen and I are neutral since we are flexible.
One more note: If other places are full, let's not stress it, we really wouldn't mind if we did it here. The guys could chip in for the cooking, cleaning, while the girls gossip. We can borrow parking from our neighbors; the kids would love our swimming hole and creek. I can arrange to use our neighbor's orchard if Leuria feels like organizing a paint ball tourney. I've been wanting to put in Frizbee golf, a reunion might motivate me. Our only concern is that it is a long way for some. Let's hear from those in the South, that's a long way to go.
Don't let 'us' be an issue. We have talked about getting married sooner then later .. so it is a non issue. Totally enjoyed my time with Bonnie and all my siblings that got together. Seemed like a mini reunion and actually I spent more time with everyone more then I was able to at the reunion.
I e mail "down south" and said the dates had not changed. Glad to see not a conflict Suzy thanx, I was just getting ready to call you !!
Lueria, I'm really sad that this mix up caused you to cancel on the reunion. I always really enjoy seeing the younger generation! If the dates are the same, can you come to the new location? Or at this point, would you rather just get on with your family vacation plans?
Whatever you decide to do, I hope that you know that you are wanted, craved and desired.
The Rogue Park place works for us, but like PnK, we're really flexible. The dates didn't work for our sons this year. And I realize that the younger generation is in a very big bind to make the arrangements work.
No guilt here, ok? That would be a mistake. Everyone do the best you can, and I really look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it, wherever it ends up being!
