Nay from this guy... just don't have the time :(
I'm in, I'll bring my disc golf stuff and we can have a round!
Just wanted to bump this post and remind people to let us know if they are planning to attend.
Sorry I didn't answer by the 13th - had other matters on my mind.
My clan is showing up and we'll make sure to bring toys for the kids, along with whatever else is needed.
I'm bringin' my disc golf stuff and probably a few wobbly pops.
With D&D cancelled for this weekend, im taking off to Banff. Thanks for the invite though, but im going to have to pass.
I won't be there. Besides spending every weekend for the next month or so doing some rather large renovations on my new house, I'm also helping another friend move that particular weekend.
Quote from: "Lazybones"Just wanted to bump this post and remind people to let us know if they are planning to attend.
Sorry for the delay.
Might make it with me and my 3 little ones. I let my brother know he was welcome along with his son. So that's a total of 4 kids, and 2 immature adults.
If we somehow end up not making it, will that somehow make your life miserable, and therefore cause you to hold a lifelong grudge against me? Just curious. Either Lazy or Mrs. Lazy can answer. ;)
heh do you really want me to answer that... my answer may be rude and slightly inteligble, due to grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. lol
hope to see you there regaurdless of the lifelong grudge i may or may not already be holding against you.
:rolleyes:
j/k
just let me know on this thred what you will be bringing as it is potluck and freeloaders will be prosicuted... i mean they will be held in a lifelong grudge on my part...
yeash what is with the cynisism any how darren? your conemptible posts and behaviour is unbecoming.
hehe :huh:
my cousin mike is bringing pop
and my friend is bringing smokies hot dogs. plus some plastic cutlery and a big jug of orange gatorade
my dad and tom are bringing potatoe salad and macarioni salad
ron is bringing wobbly pops whatever they are (dave says they r alkie of some sort, however no alcaohl is permitted on park property, but i am smuggling some in jello :D ), and disc golf eqt
Thorin is bringing kids toys, plus two big bags of spring mix salad (frm superstore cuz its cheap there)
Dave n I are bringing a freezer full of meat hamburger chicken steak ribs ect
and maybe some crub (potatoe dumplings) , its either scandianavian or german not sure but its good tho
Darren ?
Chris ??
Tammy ?
Mellissa?
Derek?
Kori?
Margret?
did i forget anyone please let me know.
Some big bags o' Ridges Chips + a couple of tasty Chip Dips (none of that crappy no-name type, this you'll actually taste the onions or whatever).
Since somebody already stole my hotdog idea... Plus if I don't make it, chips+dip won't be missed as much as hotdogs.
Cynical? Me? Have we just met? ;)
I work that day, but I'll try to be out later, if this is a all day affair!

Bring the kids! It'll be fun.

Thanks, Mr. Corrdry.
Oh, and remember, he proved that children aren't worth it. They want to rule the world. And they suggest using poop as an alternative fuel source. Rob tried it. I mean, coooome ON! :rolleyes: ;)
I was thinking of Peter from Family Guy, but Rob'll do just as well.
C'mooooooooooooon!
I believe I should be able to make this. Since it sounds like there's enough meat to go around, I'll bring some cookies. I'm not sure if they'll be homemade, it depends if I can unpack my cooking supplies and equipment in time :)
actually i am bringin desert.... sorry
plse bring a decent size fruit tray and a decent sice veggie tray <_<
Don't forget you can buy veggie platters (etc) premade from places like Superstore and Save-On-Foods.
I'm in. I'll be bringing along some of the "extra" stuff like:
- hamburger buns
- marshmallows
- Ketchup/Mustard and maybe relish
- paper plates & plastic forks/knives/spoons/cups
- other utensils where necessary
I'll probably also pick up a party platter of something to bring with me (it might be a veggie, fruit, or cold cuts platter; it depends on what Sobeys has and what you decide to pick up Ustauk).

Oh, and I'll pack all the usual stuff I would take camping, just in case any utensils are forgotten...
RaeOfSunshine, please post Sunday afternoon if there is anything else that needs to be brought.
Is someone bringing a propane-powered barbeque to cook on?
Quote from: "Thorin"Is someone bringing a propane-powered barbeque to cook on?

soccer ball - check, my son's gonna have a blast kickin' it around.
I'm thinking of getting a football too, maybe will bring it along too - gotta teach my son to throw one of these days after all :)
Do we have enough people for baseball to be any fun? ;)
I will bring the fruit and these strange veg-e-tab-les platters you speak of.
Maybe I'll bring tortillia chips and salsa too!
Quote from: "Ustauk"I will bring the fruit and these strange veg-e-tab-les platters you speak of.
LOL
lazy thought you'd say somthing like that...
the soup nazi says----> NO SOUP FOR YOU..... :angry: ;)
Gonna bring a 2 pound bag of baby carrots, you can never have too many of those for picnics. And I used a coupon today and Safeway to try something called a "pudding ring cake". It's rather small but I'm sure quite tasty, so I will resist opening the plastic cover until Monday and bring it along too. :)
PS: Final headcount = Me + 4 kids = 5
Yay, other kids! Mine will be 7.9945205479452054794520547945205, 5.569863013698630136986301369863, and 3.9561643835616438356164383561644, roughly. Maybe I should say nearly eight, five and a half, and nearly four :P
And they're active... Hope your kids like to run around and be active, Darren :)
oh my..............
well we still need the following
****jug(s) (or 2 flat's of 500ml) water (not tap water!!!!)..............
******BBQ sauce
*****mayo
***letus (romaine is better)
***tomatoes
tonnica looks like your on the hook for that cold cut platter
anyone who wants to bring more hot dogs (the big ones) and smokies by all means, bring them.
some one said they were going to bring cheese for the burgers... i still need to count them =( (the bugers i mean)
also WE NEED HOT DOG BUNS the person brinning them wont be off work till three.

9, 7, and almost-4, plus my nephew who is 8... Did some kite flying today, it was a blast. They are a handful, but I got a bunch of Dollar Store toys for the picnic so they should be amused... And they make friends easily, as do most kids under 10 when running around is involved :)
Should be a great time, looking forward to it.
PS: Where in Rundle will we be meeting? And is it possible for anyone to drive all 5 of us? If not, I'm sure the ol' ETS will "Get [Us] There" since that's their slogan.
Oh, and I just opened a good-sized Mayo jar today. Will bring it I suppose, not much of a mayo eater but I had tons of cans of salmon... That reminds me, are we covered for blastic cutlery and plates etc. ? Always seems like that's the stuff we run out of at larger gatherings I've been to.
lol too funny.
well, any way darren i am so glad your bringing them. almost all the ppl i invted with kids at the last minuite canceled on me.
dave was worried that there would be too many pleople. *snort* ya right.
two familiies to go tho the lake, one to see the queen, and one to see starwars.
oh well whatcha gonna do? :blink:
grrr :angry: anyway... i still hope to do this again, if i end up getting enough sleep this should still be a blast, come rain or shine!
see you all tomo.... err today.
:o
GRRRRR RAIN!!!!!
what is the plan?
we are thinking of moving the gettogether here.
it may still end up being nice enough come 1pm tho.
1)we could push the time back. (thinking for 3 or 4pm)
2)we could go ahaed as plaanned (as we have a covered site).
3)we could move it here but the time would be pushed back as well.
4)or we could try for next weekend.

Yeah, I was about to post this too. The rain is so depressing. Why can't it only rain when we are sleeping!? All them chemtrails, you'd think at the very least as they poison us or whatever they could at least do predictable cloud seeding :rolleyes:
Anyway, FYI: today's forecast (from
weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca) "Cloudy. A few showers beginning this morning. Risk of a thunderstorm. Wind northwest 30 km/h. High 13. Tonight: Cloudy with 60 percent chance of shows. Wind northwest 20 km/h. Low 8."
For comparison, yesterday was a high of 19, winds peaking at 30-45 km/h.
So today will be a little cooler, a lot wetter, but less windy. So forget sunbathing, forget outdoor BBQ, and forget kite flying. :(
what does everyone else think???
I work till 8 tonight, so if its later that would be great!....lol
RAINED OUT
