This picture was taken months ago as Sheri, Janice and I planned our Dickson family reunion. I can't tell you how hard they have worked to make sure it would turn out good and be well worth the expense involved in getting here.
We had another planning meeting this week and there were major differences this time. I forgot to take a picture so you will have to imagine. First Sheri and Janice have both lost more weight. (and I have gained some) But the real difference is that it is all coming together beautifully! We are feeling very relieved. Let me remind you a bit of what is going on.=Almost everyone is going to be there! Very few cousins and their families will be missing.
=Shayla is taking charge of our Family Fun Run. (start getting in shape!)
=Erin is in charge of our talent show. Let her know when you have a something for it. This will be a really fun evening! You can even sign up when you get there if you want.
=Susanne is in charge of our family Olympics. You might ask if she needs help.
=Randy is in charge of our family service project. We don't know what it will be but will somehow benefit Grandma and Grandpa. You may need to ask how you can help.
=Dorrel is in charge of our family play day and barbeque at his house. So fun! Zip line, bouncy house, huge slip n slide, tree houses, volleyball tournament, food, visiting, swimming.
=Jana will be in charge of our kids craft area. All the mothers will sign up for a time to be there and help the kids. We have fun crafts planned but could use more if you have some ideas or stuff.
=Many of the families will be camping and many will be staying at the motel. Most of the motel people will be staying at the Medallion in Marysville.
=Each family gets to bring a gift for the gift exchange! Yippee.
=Jamie is teaching a ladies jewelry class during free time so bring old jewelry if you have some.
=Each extended family is invited to do a 15 minute video presentation the last night of the reunion at the church. David is doing ours, Lisa I've heard is doing Roys, so who is doing the others? Don't forget!
=Are you wearing extended family T shirts? We are. (Tracy and Tera have designed them and are getting ours made.) Family Colors (unless you choose a different one): Lynn Navy, Jack Red, Doris Green, Roy Lighter blue, Viv White.
=You may want to bring lawn chairs if you have extra room to tuck them in.
=We are gathering large kettles but if you need something special for your family meal please let us know.
This reunion will be so much fun. It will be one of the last with the oldest generation and they are thrilled and excited that we are having it. See you all in a month!!!
Please comment!!! It helps us all to get more excited!!!

Don't know why I am "yesterday"... interesting. That was me - Gina!
I can't wait to see everyone and I know G&G are way excited!! This is going to be so fun!!
This will be well worth the drive! I have such great memories of old family reunions in Washington. It will be fun to see everyone again! We are ready to rough it! :)
The girls have been telling everyone about their big trip this summer! We are very excited and the girls will be performing a song from Annie at the talent show.:-) I will see what I can gather together for the kids craft area as I clean out my classroom next week! Take care!
It looks like it's going to be Marty, Lacey and I. Sage is going to be with her inlaws and gets to take a quick trip to see Zachary before he is deployed to Iraq and Amber is in the middle of wedding plans and can't afford to take time off work. We are super excited though. It's going to be fun!!!
