We Have a Home!!!!!

After much discussion and crunching of numbers, we have found our Family Reunion Home! I can't say 100% that we can get the dates we want until I am able to send in the required deposit and sign the contract. If everyone sends the funds they've committed to send, I should be able to do that on June 1st. If you want to take a look at where we'll be staying, go to http://www.bransonvacationlakehomes.com/ We'll be staying at The Rusty Moose Lodge. Make sure you check out the video, it's pretty cool. First I want to give credit to Donna. She found this location and sent it as a suggestion when we first started hunting. I've looked and looked and gotten suggestions from several of you, but we just kept coming back to the Rusty Moose. The property is not far from where Steve's folks owned their lake house, so we know the area and it is wonderful. I'm so excited to think about sitting out on the deck in the morning with a hot cup of tea (hot chocolate for Debbie) and seeing the mist out on the lake. There's no better way to start the day than to be surrounded by all that is good in this world (even if Rick is there). I'm also looking forward to evenings in the Great Room telling stories (about Lyn) and laughing. There's another family room downstairs so when the young folks get tired of the old folks (like Jim) they can get away. The best thing is that there are walk in closets that work excellent for locking small children in. I was getting pretty tense trying to put this together, but I must have a Guardian Angel looking out for me, because I feel really at peace about this. I think this place is meant for this group of mismatched dysfunctional folks we call the Laverty Clan. Take a look and let me know what you think. Love you all!

How many people are planning on going? Just concerned about the number of bathrooms and bedrooms for what appears to be 12 families or more going.

I don't have the list at hand, but I counted 25 adults and 9 kids if all show. I grew up in a house with 10 counting my grandmother and we made it with 3 bedrooms and one bath. Not everyone will have a room of their own. There are queen sleepers in the family room and great room. Trust me kiddo, it will all work out. It's not like a hotel where everyone has a room and bath. It's family style. In a hotel you're locked in one cramped room. Here you have lots of places to "get lost" and gather in. You'll see. It will all work out.
