Suggested Packing List for Family Reunion

Hello, all! The family reunion is less than two weeks away, and I know Mike and I are both getting very excited! I know most of you are seasoned campers, so you probably have the whole packing thing down pat, but just in case anyone is like me and likes to have a checklist for packing, here are some suggested items to bring. This is in addition to the items you'll be bringing for your assigned meals. We will be contacting each family to finalize the things you'll need to bring for that. (If anyone wants to add to this list, feel free to use the comments section to do so.)

I also strongly encourage you to read over the other Family Reunion posts once again, to familiarize yourself with the rules (we don't want anyone showing up with generators, water balloons, or any other prohibited items) and the schedule. You can see all Family Reunion posts here, or by clicking on the Family Reunion 2013 link at the bottom of this post. Let us know if you have questions about any of this stuff, and we apologize for annoying you all with our requests that you read these posts!

  1. well we have aprox 100 or so paper plates, I bought them long time ago just cuz it was cheaper that way, so we'll have a little extra. We'll be sure to bring other things as well

  3. Many campgrounds have water faucets to fill up the coolers- can we do that at Heise?
