More information-

So after contacting everyone with information, and hearing back from some of the family.. here is the update. I heard from Brett that Rod and Julia turned in there papers for a mission... YEAH... I am excited.. I cannot wait to hear where they are going. But I also heard from Brett, that his family will be all here August 7Th,8Th,9Th. So here is couple suggestions. I was thinking some of the people would like a longer camping weekend then just an overnighter. This would be nice for the family coming long distance. Another thing is everyone really likes the property idea of Joan and Steve's.. I think why is because it cuts down cost and we could see each other longer. Any if people would like to have just one night thing together as a family, then the people who couldn't' come for the whole 3 days could at least come for the auction and dinner? So that could be Friday night... Then the ones that couldn't' camp that long or get off work could at least attend some of the fun. Also many would like to make this a yearly thing. Then by going to the property the first year, we could save up money by doing and auction for the next year.. and try some where new. But most have been satisfied with what we have planned so far. As for Brett's family they would love for us to consider August..And for my family, we are going to have a new baby in the family in may. So a few months old would be great.. By the way (I am not the one pregnant, Justin and Jenny are going to be having a baby boy.) So here is the suggestions, is anyone up for it????

• August 7-9 Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
• Joan and Steve's Property

So I have a rust estimate on head count for my family (11-12), and Brett's (21)

Any questions or ideas?

Steve and Joan's Property

I wanted to show you some of the fun things we do at "Grandma Joan's Mountain." It's located in Fairview, Sanpete County, at the Skyline Mountain Resort 3 1/2 miles up the canyon from the gate. They have approximately six acres to hike and play in. There is an upper camping area which is more open and a lower camping area down in the trees. Down at the main resort there are a lot amenities such as golfing, swimming, tennis and basketball. Up in the canyon are trails galore for four-wheelers, motorcycles and mountain biking.





If you would like to bring a camping trailer or tent trailer, they have electricity for you to hook into. They do not have water or grass but you can fill your trailer with water down at the gate. We bring our own water bottles to drink. There is plenty of places for tents out in the open and in the trees. There is a bowery with lights to eat at, a swing set for the younger kids, plenty of room to play games (volleyball, tether ball, soccer, etc..) and trees to hide away in. They have two volcano cookers for the dutch ovens, two camp chef stoves and a two firepits for marshmallows. One of my kids favorite things to do is to have a treasure hunt. The older boys (I'm talking about you, Brad) love to play "Airsoft Wars" down in the trees at the lower camping area. It's beautiful and peaceful up there. There is plenty for all to do and I hope it's something that will be fun for all.

-Let's Get this Started-

Here is to a great year!!! We are going to have a family reunion in 2008. YEAH!!!!! So I have been calling around getting information for this big event, and decided on doing a blog so everyone can enjoy seeing the progress while contributing there ideas. I have decided that we are going to have spokes people for each family. So far I have Brett and his Wife for Julia's and Rod's family. Kathy and Jenna for Russ and Janice's Family. Burton and Pat are going to take care of their family. While I believe that Kim will be taking care of Joan and Steve's family. The main e-mail will be thecahoons@hotmail.com, while the blog is the-cahoons.blogspot.com.

Here is to the first question?

What time of year would be best for everyone?

2. And where? ( Here is some idea's of places we have so far... Brett said ( delta) for that is where are parents grew some of there life. While we spoke with Steve Ames and he said we could have it on their property. There is 4-wheeling, room for parking trailers, Power, and room for tents, cool in the evening's to wear a jacket in July?? ( we will get you more information on this location. Or we can do something in the slc area.


So you can either create your own blog, and then you can comment on this blog, or you can just e-mail thecahoons@hotmail.com, then I will either post what everyone said or e-mail spokes people. Then we will decided what is best for this large of a group.
