Hey Family,

I have received an inquiry about the new APE treetop adventure course that is now open in Eagle Creek Park, which is where we will be having our Saturday Picnic for the reunion. This event will have to be an optional event and I can reserve a group spot if there is enough interest in running the course. Unfortunately the reunion committee will not be able to cover the cost associated with going through the course. The cost is:
Adult (18+ yrs) $55.00 and Kids (10-17yrs) $35.00
2-3 Hour Treetop Adventure!!!!

Below is a brief description of the treetop adventure course if you are interested. Please let me know if you would like to participate and if we have enough people I can add this to the agenda. Please note that if you have a fear of heights, then this is NOT for you. :)

Here is the website that will give you more information and pictures. http://goape.com/sites/eagle-creek-park

I will need to know ASAP because the spots fill up quickly!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
Patrinah

Grab some friends for a great day in the outdoors, taking on zip lines, tarzan swings & more. The tree-top adventure everyone is talking about.

Doc and I have been married for 32 years. We are the proud parents of a daughter and a son. Our daughter has been married for 3.5 years and our son is a newlywed. We love our childrens' spouses like they are our own children . There is also a family dog. He is a Shih Tzu and spoiled. We don't know who has who trained LOL.

I am a proud member of the family. I tell people that we hit the in-law jackpot. Both sides of our families have a loving relationship, it moved on to our daughter's husband's family, and continues with our son's wife's family.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the family reunion!!! God Bless You!!!
