St. Louis Zoo Get together

**mylittle4** · 08-07-2003, 10:32 PM

Ok I will work on getting this organized anyone who wants to attend is more than willing to post and give me an idea of the ideal time. Kids are getting ready to start school so it will probably need to be a weekend or is labor day open to anyone? We will be at six flags on Sept.13 so that is the only day I am booked. Everyone give me an idea of your schedule and I will pick a time that suits the most people. Also after we nail down a date everyone that can make it can sign up to bring something for a picnic lunch. Oh I will get a pic posted so you will know who your looking for when we get there.

I love this idea ! If I am given a weeks notice I can request a day off from work, so no problem on day. My family loves the idea !

I wanta go but that's too far for me, at least for now------I would love to get to meet some of my village buddies in person.... Sounds like a great idea and I hope whomever gets to go really enjoys the trip...... You'll just have to take lots of pics to share with everyone else here...

Now I am sad. It's too far for me but I sure hope the rest of you have a wonderful time. I think its a great idea. Have fun.

Weekends I'm off work in Sept would be 13/14 and 27/28 My weekends in Oct. are booked up, but don't plan things just around me- do whatever works for the majority.

**mylittle4** · 08-18-2003, 03:05 PM

Ok ladies it looks like our outing will be Saturday Sept. 27. Please post to this list and let everyone know what you will be bringing for lunch so we do not end up with 16 bowls of potatoe salad!

**frugalmel** · 08-18-2003, 04:38 PM

Sounds great! That is dd's 2nd birthday weekend (the 28th is her birthday) so I would probably have gone to IL to celebrate with family anyway. It will take me probably 2 hours to get from the in-laws house to there, give or take traffic, so I am not sure what would be good to bring. Maybe something cold that I can keep in a cooler. (I don't want to give anyone food poisoning!!)

**sunshine** · 08-18-2003, 05:10 PM

Nearly a 2 hour drive for me too, but cooler will keep things cold. Tell me what you want me to bring and see what I can do.

**mylittle4** · 08-18-2003, 06:33 PM

Mel my dd#2 is the 29th! I ama two hour drive also. I was thinking about doing some roasted sticky chickens then pulling it off the bone and having it cold. What do ya think?
