FRIDAY - 29 JULY 2011
9:00am Welcome Breakfast (Harrisville Cabin) Rise and shine! Come out to the welcome pancake breakfast at the Harrisville Cabin located at 725 West Harrisville Road, Harrisville, UT., 84404. This location will be "home-base" for today. The cabin has a main event hall, kitchen, reception, and boys and girls bathrooms. The cabin is surrounded by a small park with ample shade trees and picnic tables. There is also a playground for the kiddies. It will be the perfect place to eat, relax, and play.
11:00am Northshore Aquatic Center (Entrance $4/person)
After a good breakfast and some fun, it's time to change into the swim gear and head to Northshore Aquatic Center. Northshore is a great place to play in the water for kids (and adults) of all ages. They have a lazy river, water playground, water slide, diving board, and toddler pool. We will stake out a pavillion at the park. We are getting a group discount for this park of $4/person. Checkout their website for more information: http://www.northshoreaquaticcenter.com/

12:00pm Lunch at Northshore (Pizza)
We will be providing Little Caesar's Pizza at Northshore. No money is required.
2:00pm Free Time
After about 2 or 3 hours of swimming, you'll have some free time on your hands. This will be a good time to go back to the hotel and change out of swim clothes. This would also be a good time for naps, shopping,
etc. Basically, this time is given to you to do whatever you want. You are also welcome to go back to the cabin and hang out. Surely there will be people there talking and hanging out.

7:00pm Karaoke & Dance Contest
Hey there superstar, it's time to bust out the microphone and provide your talents for the entertainment (and laughter) of the family. What would family reunions be without Karaoke? (Don't answer that.) Anyway, here's your chance to show your skills off. Mimi Wilma will be judging the singing and the dancing and there will be awards.

Breakfast on your own
This is your day to sleep in, relax, and have a breakfast at your leisure. You'll need the sleep because there is a big day ahead!
10:30am Meet at Harrisville Cabin
Once again, it's time to meet at the cabin. Only this time, we won't be going in. We will be meeting to caravan up the canyon towards Huntsville. It's only about a 15-20 minute drive up the canyon. The canyon has windy roads, but nothing too crazy. Take some motion sickness medicine if need be. We will leave around 10:45am.
11:00am Farr's Ice Cream (Ogden Canyon)
About 3/4 of the way up the canyon, there is a Farr's Ice Cream shop. We'll stop here and get some ice cream. Ice cream isn't provided. But luckily, it's not too expensive. This is a really pretty area and we'll be able to eat alongside the river. (There is no access to the river. Tables are on a balcony overlooking the river and there is a fence. It will be safe for kids.)

12:00pm Check into Anderson Cove (Huntsville)
Another 10 minutes or so and we'll be in Huntsville. We are going to Anderson Cove. Anderson Cove is a campground/park. (We will not be able to park all of the cars there, so we will need to make a parking plan as we eat ice cream. I think only 2 cars per campsite will be allowed. We have two sites.) Anderson Cove is a very pretty area. It is not your typical campground. It is more like a park with grass, paved roads, and tall trees. There is also a beach area. As soon as we settle in, we will make some lunch.

1:00pm Beach and Lake Time
After lunch, we'll make our way down to the beach and the lake. It will likely be very hot. Make sure you have enough sunblock for the afternoon. The beach has nice soft sand and will be a great spot to play around and soak up some sun. Trees provide a little shade in some areas, but not a lot. We'll bring frisbees, water guns, sand toys, etc. for this day. It will be awesome.

Anytime you want to leave the beach and water and go back to the campsites, no problem. Everyone will need some time to change and relax for a bit. The sun takes a lot out of you. Go back, kick up your feet and have a lemonade.
4:00pm Games
We will have some organized games going on around 4pm. This will include a tug-o-war, potato sack race, croquet, horseshoes, and more. Non-participation will not be tolerated. (I'm very serious.) However, those helping prepare dinner may be excused for some of the time. ;)
6:00pm Dinner (Dutch Oven)
We'll have a dutch over dinner this night. The food will be awesome, so come hungry. It will most likely consist of chicken and potatoes, but that is just the beginning. This will be the banquet of the reunion so be prepared. Wear your adjustable belt.

9:30pm Closing (All non-campers need to head home)
Anderson cove closes their gate at 10pm, so everyone who is not staying will need to be out by 9:50 at the latest. If you would like to stay and camp, you are welcomed to do so. I (Mark) will be staying that night and heading back in the morning (around 9am) for church. Anyone who wants to stay is welcome.
