As far as the talent show goes, while we may have time for it after dinner, I see that the time may be better spent on interactive activities with the cousins. I think Stephani makes a good point that this is literally the only time some cousins will see each other in the year, so it makes more sense for them to be playing and having fun together rather than sitting and watching (plus, I don't know about your kids, but my kids get bored really easily and trying to keep them sitting and watching for half-hour plus may be a monstrous task). Michael, we still would love to see your woodwork, however (you know my kids would love it .... SHAPES!!!!!).
So what about the above schedule? Any ideas for an evening activity? Anyone have a movie projector that we could all watch an outdoor movie together and eat snacks? If there are no ideas, I will come up with a fantastic idea (or at least one that I think is fantastic). Thanks!!!!!!
Love the Schedule- wish we could have adult beverages. mt. dew and dr. pepper? ;) Pictures should be fun, glad it won't be too hot at that time! Thought about where we are doing them? I am totally trying to convince mom and dad that they need to take the leather couch outside :) the kids will have fun playing and interacting, and maybe we'll get lucky and the ice cream man will come by!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, super fun to take pictures with leather couches outside!! Though I totally understand the reluctance to do that! I think the schedule looks great! Thanks for all the work you guys are doing, Greg and Hayley!
ReplyDeleteOh, one other thing ... who is going to take the picture? Jen, do you still have any SLR cameras? Hayley has a camera, but the type of lens she has son't work for a large group. Would one of our neighbors be willing to take?
ReplyDeleteDear Brian,
ReplyDeleteAny chance we can convince you to be crazy and drive up for Sat? Even just for a few minutes for pictures. This might be the FIRST TIME in like, 8 years, that we have the entire family together for family pictures. We promise to try to hold the crazy to a minimum.
Love,
Us
Yes, please pretty please Brian?
