5:00 Start heading over to the High School for the FIREWORKS! You will have to pay for parking! This helps to fund their awesome fireworks show next year, and isn't very expensive. The earlier you get there, the better parking spot you will get…

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING???
***You are in charge of bringing your own drinks for meals! We will have a 5 gallon jug of ice TAP WATER to drink! If you want something different--BRING IT!
***For the parade: Bring sunscreen, toys, water balloons, etc. canopies for shade, chairs, sunglasses, and drinks! We usually have about a 2 hour wait time to sit and visit before the parade starts.

***For the fireworks: Bring money for parking and food, or eat beforehand. Bring chairs, blankets, pillows, glow toys (Katie will sell you some--but it will cost you) jackets, cards or games to play while we wait, etc. There will be music playing, and dancing, as well as lots of yummy treats--this is the BEST part of the weekend! Expect for it to go late--so if your little ones need a nap that afternoon, plan accordingly!
***We will be making a slideshow with pictures from the reunion to send out to everyone later--so if you have pictures that you want to be included, give them to Justin before you leave the reunion and he will load them onto his computer.

Pictures please!
ATTENTION !!!
The reunion is fast approaching=)
We are needing pictures by Monday the 14th. With everyone's busy schedule we need them now. If we don't get the pictures by then we will not have the slide show. Justin will be going out of town for a week or two, he has work and school. If it is too hard for people to get him pictures we will just cancell the slide show.
HERE IS WHAT WE NEED.
Pictures from anyone who served a mission who is now a part of the family.
Pictures from all the families: weddings, births, parties, family gatherings, old family reunion pictures...
We want pictures of Bob and Glen growing up and their families growing up.
