Most camps send out a supply list for all campers so that everyone is prepared for a comfortable and fun camp experience. Camp Happy Family is no different! Below is your Packing Checklist for Camp Happy Family 2010:

1 beach towel

sunscreen

bar of soap or shower gel

toothbrush

toothpaste

hair brush

hair dryer (ladies...)

shorts

t-shirts

bathing suits

clothing to go out on the town if so moved

pajamas

books to read on the beach

Kindle

articles bashing current administration to get the blood flowing in the a.m.

gossip magazines for those of us who would rather keep the blood pressure low and worry about the current state of Brangelina :)

loose change for a few rounds of Shanghai

Linens and towels will be provided...we'll be using the Bayard's. There is a washer/dryer at the cottage...no laundry service will be provided unless the cabana boys want to volunteer...NOT!

What About Our Furry Friends?

The canine branch of the Shropshire/Smedile clan will be camping at a nearby luxury spa called The Pooch Palace. The website for this is: www.seespotstay.net Click the link to see where Sierra, Guiness and Mia will be having their own Camp Happy Family! It is located 10 minutes from the island so Aunt Kay can go and get the doggies for a walk on the beach early in the morning if she'd like!?

Beach Time!

Borrowed a tent from a neighbor for us to use on the beach. It'll provide some welcome shade for us. Cabana boys...start pumping iron...you have a big job. We hope to borrow the Bayard's big cart for taking stuff to the beach. Also we may have a couple of kayaks to use...God bless the Bayard's!

Jed and I will go to Costco on Saturday morning and stock up on the essentials such as beer, wine and TP. Pam and Gary will arrive Sat around 12:30 and Cassie a little after that. Blair, Colin/VA and Megan will already be there...hopefully Jack and Steph will too. Jerry and Kay...I think ya'll plan to arrive on Friday/Saturday also? We're still keeping fingers and toes crossed for Tom and Laura. We can get into the cottage by 3pm and maybe a little earlier. Everyone can hang out at the Bayard's on Saturday until we get into the rental cottage.

More importantly...When's Dinner?

~Meals~

Saturday: Jed and I will take care of Saturday night...thinking Shrimp Pasta and some local veggies.

Sunday: Kay, pack that waffle iron...you're on for Sunday brunch. Let me know what I need to pick up at the grocery store. Jed will fill ya'll in on what we thought we'd do Sunday morning to get the week off to a good start.

Sunday night we thought we'd just do sandwiches...maybe homemade ice cream!

Monday: Kid's night to cook
**As the eldest of the "kids" and the appointed Camp Secretary...Megan is asking all us "kids" to leave a comment below with a suggestion of what to fix...I'll start it off!

Tuesday: Pam and Gary are cooking spaghetti/french bread/cherries jubilee...YUM!!

Wednesday: ?? Any ideas? Leave a comment!

Thursday: Everyone takes a course: Appetizer, Main dish/ sides/ Dessert..etc.
**Again leave a comment below to sign up for a course! First come, first serve!

Friday: Go out This is loosely scheduled...we can always switch around. Just thought we could get everyone's taste buds going.
