Plans for this weekend

Happy Monday Bean Family!

I thought I'd write a quick blog post with some important information for this week. We are so excited for Jeff and Cailey and excited that so much of the family gets to be together!

First, and most significant, is the sealing! The sealing will take place at 11:20 am Mountain Daylight Time. Anyone attending the sealing needs to be there at least 30 minutes early. 

After the sealing, Jeff and Cailey had the great idea of all going out to lunch together. We will be doing lunch at 1:00 pm at the Black Bear Diner in St. George. We have reserved a group room for all of us, so it should be a good time! With large groups, however, they will only give us one check. As such, we all need to bring cash to reimburse Mom and Dad, who will initially cover the check and then take our lunch payments individually.  Please click on the Black Bear Diner Logo to access a copy of their menu. Please take a look, decide in advance what you and your family would like, and bring enough cash to cover the cost of the meal, tax, and 20% gratuity that they automatically add on. I apologize if this is a hassle, but it's the option that involves the least hassle, so I appreciate all you guys' help!


For those of you who are able to go down to Vegas on Friday night, we will be doing a fun dinner/pool party at Greg's house. Greg has graciously offered up his pool and grill, but we are in charge of bringing our own grilling meat, buns, salads, etc. I haven't asked, but think Greg will be willing to offer water to us as well.

As far as I know, there are no other formal plans. Liz and I have to leave early Saturday afternoon, but everyone else is free to plan whatever they'd like while they are there. We look forward to seeing everyone and most especially to celebrating Jeff and Cailey.

Love you all!

St. George Plans

Hey Bean Family! Since most are working on plans for St. George, Liz and I thought it might be helpful for us to post what we have planned (as far as lodging and timing) so if anyone wants to stay where we stay or hang out, it can be done!

Here is our plan:

Thursday: Arrive in the evening some time. Get dinner, hang out with anyone who is there that night. We are staying in the Hilton Garden Hotel. We got a room for $80/night, so worth checking out if anyone wants to stay there with us!

Friday: Breakfast. Jeff and Cailey's sealing! (WOO HOO!) Drive to Vegas after the ceremony. Hang out at Greg's house (pool/grill party) for most of the night. Retire. Liz and I are staying at the Homewood Suites in Henderson that Friday night. It's about 9 minutes from Greg's house and rooms are $88 through Mom and Dad's travel site thingamajigger.

Saturday: Breakfast. Hang out with the family. Either at Greg's house or if we plan some sort of outing or activity that morning. We have to head out that afternoon to start heading home, as it's eleven hours and don't want to pull that in one day on the way home.


Those are our plans. If anyone wants to coordinate, please let me know. We are so excited for Jeff and Cailey and to see an family who can make it.

Love you all!

Family Reunion Picture Swap!!

We had a really great time at the family reunion- thanks to everyone for making it a great time! We wanted to give everybody an opportunity to share pictures, so we created a family dropbox account where we can all load and view pictures.

Steps to sharing pictures:

1. Go to www.dropbox.com (click here)
2. Enter in email and password (this is a family account so we created a login and password just for this. The login email is bean.family.love@gmail.com and the password is bean.family)
3. Click on the folder "Family Reunion 2015"
4. Once inside the folder, there are 5 icons to the right of the folder title. The furthest left of these is "upload...". From here you can choose the pictures that you would like to upload.

Once pictures are shared, we will be able to view them and download if desired.
