Young Thanksgiving Get Togehter...

Thanksgiving Party at the Man Camp......

Details and more details.....
     
  Arrival is at 4:00 pm on Wednesday. I guess we can go earlier.. But you will need to contact Darla about this.  Darla will be getting us into the building.
      
 Wednesday...

 Arrive at the time that is best for you and your family.  We will not be serving Dinner as arrival times where to hard to coordinate. So you can eat before you arrive or bring something with you for dinner.  We will supply paper good, drinks, and eating utensils.

When you arrive it will be important to unload and help others to unload as well. There is lots to bring in and help is never refused.  Upon arrival start to set up and get the party started. 
One thing you need to do is get your sleeping area fixed or claimed upon arriving.  Lets not have a mad dash and craziness at midnight as to where everything goes and who goes where.  If you are arriving late and want a room please let someone know so they can claim your room and post a sign on the door.

Sleeping Arrangements.....
There are 3 private rooms and there is a sharing half wall room that can be used for sleeping quarters.  Also a loft upstairs.  The main Slumber Party will be out in a large open area or upstairs. Where Richard will be supplying bedtime stories and lullaby's.  I am sure you will not want to miss out.
Some are bringing tents to set up so they will have a area of their own but still part of the Slumber Party.  You will need to bring sleeping bags, mats, etc.  None supplied sorry.  Lisa says a Ace Hardware they have queen size air beds for $39 regular price is $89. These are the 18inch air air beds with pump.
 You will find a men's and woman's room. Which have 4 showers in each room.  Please clean up after use and after your kids use.There will be Lysol wipes in the rooms for washing down sink areas and toilets if needs be.


First night of Arrival..     Events Planned..... Pie Making not eating Contest! We all need to make 20 pies and clean up.....   So activity for adults is pie making.. There will be entertainment believe me!! You will not want to miss this. 
Nothing planned for kids first night as they will be exploring and playing  I am sure.  There is so much to keep them busy. 

Second Day THANKSGIVING.....

We all will be doing cooking, cooking, and more cooking today.  Oh and eating.  Lots to do for the big dinner party. Please plan to help.  Other then the dinner there are games, cards, visiting, and lots of fun stuff to do in the building.

Items to bring

I am going to post a sheet on here for what you need to bring.... There will be  sign up list also for kitchen items and other fun stuff needed for people to help bring to the Holiday Event.

Please Bring a treat to share.  Treats will be set out at different times. Muchie times when playing games.  Water Bottles where purchased for everyone. You can fill them back up all weekend. This will help cut down on the amount of cups we use.  Some pop was purchased. If you want more pop or juice then has been purchased please plan to bring your own from home.

There is NO WIFI.. At the man camp. There is how ever cell service.

Cell service..  Verizon is the best reached service in the area, Sprint does not work most of the time, ATT is spotty, and T-Mobile is spotty.
