Click on the title of the post to be taken to a map of the park where "Gigi's 90th Birthyear Party- Part 1" will be held. If you scroll down to the map legend you can click on Party Pavilion D, which is the one we have reserved. You can also click on the other activities to see where they are. It's a really great park, tons of room to run around and plenty of things to do all day- train ride, pony ride, bicycle, walking, nature center, paddleboats, and general frolicking. :)
So here's the latest thing we need to vote on...
To have the pavilion (which I do think will be good to have- for all day shade & seating enough for all of us) based on the number being there on Thurs, it will be $6/person. There will also be a parking fee of (I think) $4 per car. The pavilion is surrounded by grass area and has electricity, water spigot, 8 tables and most importantly- Shade!
If we'd like to add a basic moonbounce, it would be $10/person.
If we'd like to add a really big moonbounce/slide combo it would be $17/person.
Once we figure out how we intend to feed ourselves, we can figure out whatever costs might be associated with that.
So are we content with $6 per or are there votes for moonbounciness of $10 or $17 per?
Just taking the general consensus again...

HB - Auntie M & I will go along with whatever everyone else votes for. Tomorrow, or Saturday, she will let you know her vote. mb
I definitely think we need the pavilion and I'm open to the bounce house idea, too.
Is there an age/weight limit on the bounce houses? I'll have to go peek.
Okay, I looked. They're pretty vague, but some of them say children under 10. I'd avoid those, as a good portion of the kid population would be disappointed. I also personally think the gigantic monster bouncing amusement park might be overkill, but one of the small or medium ones would be great.
I'm also not opposed to having only the families with kids splitting the costs if some of the non-kidders object to the added expense.
All that said, I vote for the $10 version.
The only non-kidders there on Thursday will be indulgent grandparents - and we will go with whatever.
I'll see how good of a bouncy thing I can get for the $10 version. I don't have to do it immediately. As of right now, I just paid for the pavilion only and they said we could add a bounce later if we wanted.
Also, the train (it's a pretty good ride) is normally $4, but we'll get it discounted to $3 since we have the pavilion.
I'm getting excited! We're going to make this s great birthyear party for Gigi!
I think I might suggest that Mom start freezing fresh rhubarb soon so there can be rhubarb for all in June! Woohoo!
As the official rhubarb chef of the summertime, I will put my oven mitts in the suitcase, today.
Last July, Gigi would sidle up to me in the mid-morning and whisper "If you wanted to make me another rhubarb crisp for supper, that wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit!"
I couldn't say no, and, see, Mom, we didn't kill the plant. It was all better by Christmas!
We'll go along with what the parents choose, but I vote for the smaller one, IF there is to be one. - It seems to me that there is PLENTY for all to do there at the park, and with the # of non -age permitted jumpers, it could be be somewhat of a frustration. Also, bounce house bouncers, need to be continually supervised for safety which includes keeping non-reunion kids out of it (for liability purposes). (I had that responsibility at VBS one year.) Just FYI. mc
PS. How about considering whether it could be set up at Schmidts instead?

the bouncy thing is definitely optional. Right now, Mom & I are trying to develop a detailed budget of all reunion-related costs and come to a single per-person for the whole 2 days...so the bounce house will be last priority in the budget if it comes down to it.
