Hmm...well, it may remain pancakes then.  My mom's going to make a fresh fruit salad to go with breakfast.  But I do know what I'll make for dessert for the Saturday dinner potluck:  Red (cherry), white (cake) and Blue (blueberry) DO cobbler. When I told Dave tonight what I had decided on making, his response was "YUM!!!!"  Dee, if you're wondering what flavor ice-cream to buy, I think vanilla would be lovely!  

 
Dee, how does the BYOB(eef) to BBQ work?  do you have a giant grill, or do we just grill our meat at our site and then bring it on over to the potluck?

Quote from: griffsmomHow many people are we up to total on this mini-rally? I'm toying with maybe making Belgium waffles for breakfast on Saturday instead of pancakes. hey, if you've got hook ups, may as well take advantage of them!

Did I hear Waffles????  My family will leave mine for yours if that's what you've decided!:D Lori - let me know if decide to stick to that plan, we have a belgian waffle maker that we would be glad to bring to make it easier.

I also have one and that's what I was going to bring and use for the waffles. I just counted about 16 of us: 4 for Dee, 5 for you guys, 3 for Brian, and then 4 for us. My concern is being able to cook enough waffles for that many people before the waffles grow cold or it becomes lunchtime! I wonder if two waffle irons would blow the camper's fuse...I know that a coffee maker, electric heater and tv all on at the same time will...:o Oh what the heck, life's too short to not have Blegium waffles when you're camping. Maybe I'l even make one batch banana! :D

wow I got busy on the yearbbok, celebrating Dan's B-day and working..and BAM!! looka at all the stuff going on.

1. we are 3 for Sat. Breakfast
2. if you want for waffles or pancakes I'll turn my oven on low to keep warm(Brian Point # 236 on why we need a Hybrid)
3. BEEF is my fav(but I don't think it matters) and I have a Grill-to Go and I also have the Colman Firepit grill  which is pretty large. so we can use either one or both..
4. Dinner out Friday, I'm passing..I'd rather hang out and drink beer :p( I'll need several after BBqing & DJing at the school all morning :eyecrazy: )  DD will go DRAMA on me if we do..she want's to "eat in the camper".
5. I also have a waffle maker (Waffles you could cut in half, we will also have egs, bacon & sausage) but pancakes are easier
6. since Dan's not there Sat morning..someone better pound on my door and wake me up :yikes: about 1/2hr before breakfast..or you know what would be good.. served to me on a tray in bed :J (sorry fantasizing there for a moment)
7. my GPS is a garmin etrex legend C I'm sure any of you can figure this out..I don't have the patience

We have everything ready to go.  The PU is ready, gear is ready, got a new cooler, I even fixed the things that broke on the PU while it was sitting. (How does that happen anyway?)  And I'm sure we will be ready for a drink when we arrive after dealing with Friday traffic.  Kristi read the posts about Geo Caching and wants to see how that works, it sounds like a lot of fun.  Kinda like a hi-tech scavenger hunt.

Now there's a man of action! :D  He decides to finish a patio so that he can go camping, and ends up fixing the PU and getting it all packed and ready to go in the span of a weekend!  We'll be getting all of our stuff together Wednesday night after I get home from Bible study and choir.  Good thing we don't bring much when we go camping... ;)

Lori:Cobbler dessert
Dk&3 KidsPasta salad and a potatoey something yummy
Dee4j:Green salad & Garlic bread & Ice cream for the cobbler (if I don't forget)
The Viking:you tell us (again not mandatory)
 
 
 
Sun Breakfast Dee4jBreakfast Burritos for everyone!!!(and their brother)
 
 
 
Dan is running a 5K Saturday morning so he won't be joining us until after saturday mid morningish
Just wanted to update our contributions:
 
For the Saturday morning breakfast potluck, I'll be making waffles and my mom will be making a fresh fruit salad. Saturday dinner, I'm making red, white and blue cobbler. Friday night, I can make DO cookiesafter we get back from pizza, if anyone's interested. btw, mom's looking forward to the breakfast burritos. She remembers how tasty they were at Casitas this past September. :D
 
Dinner Friday night is at the local pizza place with Dan, Kristi and their 3 kids. IIRC, Brian you said that you'd grab something on the drive down? If that has changed, let me know. Dee, if you really want to go, we can drive--we have the room in our Expy for you, Dan, Kevin and Cara. or we can bring a pie back for you so that Cara can eat in the camper, but that could be a late dinner--maybe 7:30 or 8-ish :confused:
 
 
Dave and I have decided to go up Thursday after work. To use PopUpMomma's counting system over in the William Heise rally thread, that means only 3 more wake-ups for us and then we're camping!!!!!! :-() :D :# :!
Cant' wait to see you all on Friday (or Thursday if you could swing it!!)

We are leaving after the DD gets out of school, around 2:30 or so.  However long it takes us to get there in LA Friday traffic... your guess is as good as mine.  So unless there is a miracle, count us out for the Pizza thing. We are bringing the eggs for Sat. breakfast and baked beans for the potluck Sat. night.
Our meat selection for Sat. is green chile cheeseburgers.
