camping details
okee doke. so it looks like the teams switched up a bit since the deans won't be able to come. dinner on saturday night is going to be done by:
-chris and court
-jason and holly
-tom and rae
on sunday night:
-nate and robbie
-juany and emme
-tom and abby
jason and erika miranda (and their three hooligans) are also coming (not until saturday) and they're going to bring s'more goods. make a note that the dinners need to feed 17 mouths (this does not include the 2 babies). it's a lot so plan accordingly.
remember that dinners are the only meals that we'll collaborate on. dinner on friday night and breakfasts and lunches are going to be done individually and whenever you're hungry.
us P's are planning on leaving around lunchtime on friday so we should be rolling into GP around 5ish. i'm not sure what cell coverage is like out there, but i'll bring mine with me just in case.
directions:
* I-5 south (about 250 miles, just over 4 hours)
* exit #55
* go south on 199 for about 6 miles
* turn right on willow lane, 2.3 miles to the park entrance
we will be in group site: P G2 in schroeder park.
there are coin operated showers- $.25 per 5 minutes.
it looks like we're only going to be allowed to park 3 cars at the campsite (overnight). however, we can park the rest of the cars at the day use park for free. i'm not sure how far away that is, but it suggests walking back to the campground so it can't be all that far. worse comes to worse, we'll use our 3 other cars as shuttles. obviously, don't bother parking in the day use lot before you've unpacked your vehicle and set up your site.
so this is where i become super overprotective, freak mom...
i think everyone knows that stella is fatally allergic to peanuts, peanut products and peanut dust. i want to ask you guys if you can leave the trail mix home. i know this is probably way too cautious, but i'd rather be way overly cautious than stabbing my 2 year old with epipens and going to the ER. please, please read over the ingredients of the food and snacks you buy (whether they're to share or not) and just be sure that it's not processed in a plant that shares equipment with peanuts (it will say in bold at the end of the ingredient list on the nutrition label- this includes most chocolate, candies, and lots of different snacks and mixes). if you do decide to bring a snack that could have had potential contact with peanuts or peanut dust, please just let me know. i'm really nervous about not being able to constantly watch her and have complete control over what she eats, but i know that camping is about letting loose and sharing food and fun. if you guys could just help me be aware of what she's eating, that would rock. i'm also open to other ideas and suggestions. okay, thanks for letting me be a freak about this. i'll let you know where the epipens are when we get to the site. heh.
so i think that covers it. email or call if you guys have any questions and we'll see ya'll by the river!
