DFW area WTM gathering

[Valerie(TX)]

Hi, ladies!

I would like to see what kind of interest there would be in having a meet up for the DFW area WTM moms and kids. I live pretty centrally in the metroplex, so I think it would be a relatively convenient location for most everyone.

Here's the date I'm thinking of, Thursday, June 17th, from 11-2pm. I have reserved the subdivision's pool cabana for us. The pool is very large, and we won't have it exclusively, but on most days it isn't busy, expecially not on M-Th. The cabana provides shade and several picnic tables, there are many lounge chairs for moms, there is a toddler pool (one foot deep), and a nice playgound and swings right outside the pool enclosure. (It's next to the street, so the littles will need to be watched!)

I was thinking everyone could bring their own picnic lunch (no glass), and we could all enjoy having lunch together. I can also get several teens to come help watch the littles, if you would like to pitch in $2 bucks per child (no more than $5 per family) to help. Let me know if that would be worth it to you.

They ask that we keep the size of the group to around 20 guests, so it will be first come first served, if you would like to PM me. If there are more families who would like to come, we can schedule a second date, as well.

Let me know what you think! If you would like to come, please respond with an adult and child headcount.

I'm looking forward to meeting many of you!

I think we live near each other and I have 8 yo twin boys. Maybe there could be another play date at another time!

:lol::lol::lol:

I tried to give you rep but I am all out again! Dang!

[Mom2GirlsTX]

to make it, I'm not totally sure. It sure sounds like fun! Would we bring a sack lunch...never mind, just reread it. I would be happy to chip in $$.

[tinkgumby]

Oh man, we'll be at Cub Scout Day Camp all that week. I would have loved to come! :sad:

If you end up scheduling a second date, I'll be all over it. :)

[Valerie(TX)]

Everyone is welcome to come, but please post or PM me that you'll be coming, as I need a headcount. Thanks!!

[Ferdie]

Drat! My kids are in VBS that week, otherwise we would love to come.

Great idea. Have fun!

That would be fun! PM me with your town and we can set up a playdate for the munchkins :)

[Jami]

Shucks! I can't make it that week, but maybe another time later in the summer we could do it. I swear, our summer is filling up faster than our schoolyear did! Whereabouts are you, Valerie?

Is this Tues. June 17th or Thurs. June 19th? Either way, I have to work that day, but would like to try another time. Wendy

I'll ask my wife if she and the kids are free and PM you. I won't be able to make it myself, but they might enjoy such an outing.

Thanks for proposing this! :)

Valerie,

I was completely planning to be there. But...somehow...the "outdoor" part of "pool" hadn't ocurred to me.

I don't think I can do it. And if I did, I don't think y'all would like me. :001_huh: I'm sort-of an air-conditioned-aub these days.

Forgive me?

Dear, you're T-3, T-2 by the projected date of this event.

I've watched my wife go through two pregnancies in Texas summers.

I think I can speak for everyone and assure you that forgiveness is not necessary. :D

[Valerie(TX)]

you do *not* need to ask for forgiveness!! Let me put my thinking cap on, OK? (I've been off the boards for several days; sorry for the delay!)

PM me several choices of weeks when you could do it, please, and I'll schedule a second time.

I can't do the week of June 9-14, nor June 30-July 4.

Thanks for your input!

My girls have swimming lessons that week and the week after Monday - Thursday. Not sure where you are located...

We'd try to make it, though, if it was another week. As it stands, we have no to very few plans in July and August. I'm pretty close to Aubrey in the hot and outside issue, but I'd see what I could come up with. :)
