Lake Shasta

Well the shopping list is pretty much finished, and other lists have been made that will have the different ingredients for meals. There will end up being one cupboard that has all dinner stuff, one all lunch stuff, and one all breakfast stuff. Also there will be a snack cupboard with the things that everyone can snack on throughout the week.

Others have requested this but I thought I would put out the official request for when everyone is planning on coming and arriving in Redding/Lake Shasta.

Also I am going to be heading down today to buy up some biodegradable shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I know others have bought some as well but I am planning on buying some that everyone can share.

I will be bringing a laundry basket in which we can organize all of the games into and be able to have them all in one spot. I think I will bring one more for kiddie toys and the smaller water toys for easy clean up and storage.

I will emphasize that we do not have a ton of space on the boat and the less stuff you bring the better. If you can get all of your family's clothes, etc into one bag that would be fantastic because that means less space is taken up. I am hoping that we can all work together to keep the boat clean and as open as possible especially on the top deck where most of the kids will be sleeping.

Any other ideas or requests are welcome.

Thanks,
Anne

    We are leaving our house on the evening of the 24th (Wednesday) and driving to Spokane to pick up the jet ski from Peter's brother. We will then head to Vancouver from Spokane around noon on the 25th (Thursday). Then we will be driving down with most of the family I believe on the morning of the 26th (Friday) to Redding and staying overnight.

    We are leaving (with Marnie) on Friday morning and spending the night in Redding. I think Brent and Buffy, Tom and Tracey, Anne and Peter, and Treven and Kim will be caravaning down with us. I think D & A won't be leaving until Isaac gets back from Trek on Saturday...then spending the night and arriving at Shasta midday on Sunday. Brooke and Mike are the only unknown's!

    Love,
    Mom

    We will be arriving Sunday morning. Isaac gets back from the TREK sometime Saturday late afternoon/evening. We'll leave that night and get hopefully to Grant's Pass. Then, we'll get up early Sunday morning and drive the rest of the way. We'll then all be staying for the duration.

    I would like to have the exact dimensions of my sleeping area diagramed on the blueprint of the decks on the Silverthorn Resort website. Could you diagram mine on the side closest to the restrooms so I won't have to step over Mom during the night. Also, could you have someone bring a special electric cooler to keep my Perrier cold, ice cold, so when I call for my hot dogs and Perrier, it will be icy cold. Oh yeah, David, I like the Ball Park kind. Although Hebrew brand is good too. Thanks, Dad "less stress, less mess". Ahh, how I look forward to this relaxing trip. I'd like to thank my children ahead of time for taking such good care of Mom and I during the trip. This is DAD, not the interloper-on-my-computer...Kim. DAD and MOM

    Dave, we'll leave the canoe and the kayaks under the big oak tree next to the slip where we pick up the houseboat. That way, you can just come out to our parking place anytime after you arrive. You won't have to wait for us to come get you. Dad

    Are we seriously going to put a canoe on the houseboat? Doesn't that sound just a little much? I thought the decision had been made to scrap the canoe.

    I feel the need to leave a comment because I have never seen so many comments.... if anyone actually reads this, please let me know if you think I need to bring life jackets for my girls. Kenn was awesome and sent us some last year that we use every time we go to the beach. They are now too small for Hayden but I use them on Danica and Alyssa. Obviously, suitcase space is at a premium for me, however, life jackets are at least light weight so I can bring them if they are our best option. Are there any other really small life jackets that are not claimed yet for the trip? (Keep in mind, my girls are small) Thanks!

    Anne, you're doing awesome. Don't get discouraged about anything. The organizer always gets all the complaints. You're doing a great job. You've also got to remember that the level of sarcasm in this family is above average. BTW, what I said about you doing great above is NOT sarcasm.

    Thanks Dave, I was a little stressed out about stuff earlier. I realized it was a joke later.

    Anne, you really are doing a GREAT job. Now that Lexi has taken note of this, you may have gotten more than you have asked for. However, you are a wonderful organizer and I know that the sarcasm just flows off your back like "ducks on a June Bug"...no, no....that isn't it. Hmmm, like "water off a Duck's back", unless of course someone puts dishwashing soap in the water, that of course changes the water tension and causes the water to stick to your back, which is what you wouldn't want and, so, whatever......you're doing a terrific job of handling all the stresses of this BIG EVENT.
