More Details For Family Reunion

Hi everyone! I know everyone is anxious for details on the family reunion. I'll tell you all I know so far. If anyone has any other specific questions, either call, or leave a comment for the blog.

The cabin is 8 miles before West Yellowstone. It is about 5 miles off the highway right on Hebgen Lake. I don't have exact directions, but as soon as I do I'll let you know. We're going to meet at the cabin on Friday, Aug 3rd for lunch at noon. Sandy's family will be doing lunch.

Kelsey has some fun activities set up that will be great for family togetherness. For one of the activities we'll need art supplies like markers, paints, crayons etc. If everyone can bring a bunch of stuff that we can all share it would be great!

Sue's family will be doing dinner for Friday night.

Now for the most exciting part!!! After dinner on Friday night we're going to have a family talent night. Everyone needs to participate. It would be fun if each individual family would have something prepared. It can be serious or not so serious, it's up to you. It will be fun to see what each family comes up with! Sue, do you mind doing dessert for your dinner and serving it after the talent night? I had thought about doing s'mores, but there is a no open fire policy right now, so we can't have a fire.

Everyone will need to bring their own bedding for sleeping. If you have a tent or camper you can bring, that's great. There will be beds in the cabin we can throw our sleeping bags on, I'm just not sure how many. We can also throw sleeping bags out on the floors wherever there is room.

In the morning, mom and dad are doing breakfast. Kelsey has more activities planned and then Lorinda's family will be doing lunch. After lunch, that will be the end of the planned activities. We can stay and visit longer, the guys can go fishing, you can go home or whatever we want for the rest of the day. Brian and Jean's family will be staying at the cabin until Sunday morning. Anyone who wants to stay until then, you can, we just won't have food or anything planned for extras.

There is a gas grill there that we can use, and a full kitchen of equipment. If you need something special to prepare your meal, you might want to bring it just to be safe. If you have any fold up tables, it may be nice to have them. We have 3 we're bringing. Also, bring camp chairs for your family. How about if we each bring what tablecloths we have. Let's each bring our own beverages that your family will want during the stay.

Since Brian and I aren't doing a meal, we'll bring all the paper products we'll need.

We've been told that the lake is really low right now because of the dry season and they've had to drain some of the water for the farmers to use. There is a place to swim and fish on the lake right at the cabin. Since it's so dry, they said it is really dusty and dirty. This is our friend's cabin, so we just need to be respectful and make sure we take good care of it and leave it as nice and clean as we find it.

We're really excited about getting together. It will be so fun for all of us to spend time together! If you can think of any other details that we all need to know, speak up. We'll see you all soon.
Love, Jean

Date and place set for family reunion

Hi everyone!

The Les Clark Family reunion is set for Aug. 3rd and 4th, from noon until noon, at Island Park. I hope this will work for everyone. If you want to come early or stay late is up to you, but the organized reunion will be only this time frame. Jean and Brian have access to a friends cabin which is on Henry's Lake. We will use this as our meeting spot. There is room for some to stay in the cabin, but if you want to sleep in your tent or RV that is great. Let's coordinate that on this blog.

Jean's family is in charge of the activities. Kelsey has graciously consented to organizing them. She has some amazing things lined up for us to do. I am SOOOO excited!

We will have lunch and dinner together on Fri. and breakfast and lunch together on Sat. If Mom and Dad take one, Lorinda one, Sue one, and Sandy one, the meals will be taken care of. Let's say that your choice of the meal your family is in charge of, is first come first serve. (Mom and Dad have spoken to do breakfast). You can do anything you want, and have any members of your individual families help with it. Let me know if this is agreeable to each of you. If you have a better idea, let your voice be heard.

I have been in touch with Gary as they have the longest distances to travel and regret that they will be unable to make it. I hope this works out for everyone else.

Changing the subject. I have invited the family members that I have e-mail addresses for to become team members on this blog. This allows you to publish posts. You should have received an e-mail which will tell you how to get set up. All others PLEASE send me your e-mail addresses and I will add you as a team member also.

I talked to Mom and Dad and told them what we were doing. Since they don't have the Internet, I thought that if anyone adds a post that they could print it on paper and send it to them so they can also be a part of this.

I hope our whole family will get involved in this and we can each share the events of our lives with each other!

I love you all,
Lorinda

Family Reunion

While visiting after Ashley's baptism, we decided that a family blog would be a good, fun and easy way to keep in touch with each other. This is the first blog I have ever created so please be understanding. Maybe some of you younger family members with more technical experience than me can help me out.



I would like this to be an open forum between all of the Les Clark Family.

We want to put together a one day overnighter family reunion this summer (maybe like a friday from noon until Sat. noon.) Plans and dates are pending, but we have some ideas that will bring us together as a family and be lots of fun at the same time. We will give you more details as they unfold. Look at your calanders and see if this is a posiblity for your family. The only cost involved will be our meals, and the expense of getting to the location.

I hope this blog can be fun and keep us in touch with what is happening in each of our lives.

Love, Lorinda
