Christina, your email made me go like this:

!!! A week and a half away!!!

I think we are all set though really ... I've PM'd a bit with Kelly, who lives in Plymouth and she was able to get some great shots of the park and ideas of what we might need to bring etc.
Here's what we are planning:
*Meeting, Saturday, June 13th from 11-2-ish(?)
*We'll get the furkids set up in their expanded ex-pen (so far, we have 3
-plastic type-that we can join together...if someone has another,
please bring it
*For those who would like to swap or pass along used clothing etc. we
can do that before lunch
*We plan to have a bring your own (brown bag) lunch - but please feel
free to bring goodies to share if you like

(their is also a concession
stand near by
*For those interested, after lunch we plan to do a gift wrapped/gift
bagged Yankee Swap (Yorkie-related-$10-$12)
Here is a list of what you will need to bring:
*Folding Chairs/Beach Chairs or a blanket (Kelly saw that the picnic
tables were cemented in the ground, since there is no guarantee that
we will be able to get one, she will be bringing a couple of folding
tables.
*Lunch & water of course for your little ones because it could get hot!
*Clothes for swapping and a Yankee Swap gift if you so choose
*Cameras!!!
I think that's it....Directions are in the posting above this one. I'm going to post this to all of your Profile pages so that I don't miss anyone .... I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you and seeing some of you and your little ones again!!. Let's hope we have great weather...but if not, for those who may not know, we have set up the following Saturday, (20th) in case of rain...but it's not going to rain.....I just know it!

See Saturday!!!

This sounds great! My mother wants to come too; she babysits Bo when I travel for work, and she dying to see all the little babies. I don't have a playpen, but I could probably scrounge up some extra beach chairs if that would help.

celstu1 · 06-08-2009, 07:57 AM

YAY! BF told me this weekend that there is no baseball game that saturday (he's a coach for his son's town team) so he can go with me. I am happy because it's a cool 1.5 hour ride for me. So we'll try to make a day of it!

I hope for no rain because I can't make the 20th! The weather here so far says that sat & sun are looking good though, getting all the rain out of the way now. I have an ex-pen already split into 3 pieces. I'll clean it up and bring it with me. I don't know what I'll bring but I'll try to bring a dish for everyone to eat something good. Maybe cool angel hair with veggies, nice, cool summer dish! I will bring a gift I hope, if I get out shopping this week... but sadly I don't have anything to swap since my boys don't wear clothes. Actually I might have one small pink sweatshirt type shirt, but it's super small. Anyways, please let me know if anything changes or if you need anything else! See you all in 5 days!!! The countdown is ON!!!

YAY!!!!

abby2473 · 06-08-2009, 09:46 AM

Christina,
You don't have to worry about bringing a dish to share to eat, just bring lunch for you and your BF. We will just be bringing sandwiches for us. I had mentioned that if someone wanted to bring dessert that would be great....but we are trying to keep this very low key....I will PM you as well.....

abby2473 · 06-08-2009, 11:18 AM

I can't believe it!!!

OK, I just found "Official rules and regs. for a Yankee Swap" and thought I'd post them here...I will print them out for the meet up also....

The Official Rules for a Yankee Swap:
• Everyone gets a randomly drawn number when they bring an unlabeled
wrapped gift to the swap. (In our case, Yorkie related no more than
$10-$12)
• Remember: the person who gets to pick first, also gets to pick last
• The person with the lowest number goes first. He/She chooses a
present, opens it and takes it to where they are seated.
• Each person in order then gets to pick a present, open it and decide
whether to keep it or swap it for any other present someone else has
already received (this is the “Yankee” part).
• Opening and swapping continues until all presents have been chosen.
• Finally, the person who picked first gets to choose from all presents, or
keep whatever he /she has already received.

jeanm1963 · 06-12-2009, 05:44 AM

IM just worried that upper 60's inland means like 50 on the coast.. the ground will probally be soaking wet from the rain and with the ocean breeze we will freeze!! Linda what are you thinking???
