2013 Girl Scout Get-away!

 If your name is on the list below, it is because I am under the impression you are attending our trip this weekend.  If there has been a change of plan, please let me know!
Lisa + Amelia, Shauna + Emma, Alison + Maddie, Cathleen + Faith, Paola + Megan & Sophia, Kathia + Gabby & Rachel, Taylor, Kharissa

Please read entire email, as it contains important information for all attendees.

Our Cabin is in Elijay, GA.  Check-in time is 4:00pm Friday May 31.  I will arrive for check-in- we do not all need to be there to check-in (in fact, that sounds disastrous).  Please plan to arrive at the cabin after 4pm.
There is room for 5 cars to park safely on the driveway.  I will be driving from McDonough.  Please arrange to carpool amongst yourselves.
See this link for details on the cabin and for directions (scroll down to the map and click on directions).   (It looks like it will take between 1.5 - 2 hours from Conyers).

The list below contains items that girls will need to participate in activities- if adults are interested in participating, please feel free to bring the same.  If you have any suggestions, please let me know.  :)

• sneakers (for hiking)
• swimsuit (for swimming, possible tubing, hot tub)
  For water activities, all adults are expected to be present to supervise their own girls and assist in supervision of our few "extra" girls. :)
• beach towel (for swimming trips)
• flip flops and white t-shirt (for craft projects)
• sleeping bag (all adults will have a bed, girls will have the option of staying with mom or "camping out" in basement or on back porch)
• pjs, clothes, toiletries, etc.
• SUNSCREEN, hat, other items to keep cool
• book to read (we will have "quiet time!)
• board games/ card games to share
• MINIMAL ELECTRONICS- this is mainly for the girls.  They should not plan on spending the weekend on their DS/ ipod/ TV/ laptop/ etc. They can do that at home!!
  

Meal plans:
EVERYONE should bring the following to share- bottled water &/or capri suns (or similar) and snacks.  These items will be put into the "grab" basket for all to enjoy.  If you require any special drink or snack for yourself, please plan to bring that.  Girls, even picky ones, will be eating from the menu below, as they planned it themselves.  The girls worked together to choose foods they all like, and the idea of "I don't feel like eating that" will not be entertained.
Please choose one line to sign up on and let me know.  First voice, first choice.  :D  I did not price each item, so if a grouping seems unfair, please make a switch. :)

• Friday Dinner: chicken, salad, potatoes  WELCH
