My family is going to have a reunion this summer. I need some ideas if anyone could share. We are going to have about 12 Children under 10 years and 10 kids between 10 and 15 years old. Anything will help. One of my nieces started a web site so we can all keep in touch. This site is easy to build easy to use and its free to start with. anyone else using this site. http://familylobby.com/ Joe Mckenzie Joe, My absolutely favorite site for obtaining "affordable" items for family gatherings is The Oriental Trading Co. I have ordered via the internet and the site is safe and I've had no problems with receiving my goods. The have many items for picnics games and small prizes. They will ship your items to another address besides your billing one. Many places will not. This has come in handy for me as I live on the west coast but ship my goodies to a friend in Frostburg and they are ready and waiting! Another nice place to hold a picnic is New Germany Park. There is a lake with life guards during the summer months. There is also a play area for the smaller ones. The teens might enjoy the lake area. I added some URLS for you. Have fun!
