I'm so excited about this whole event. It definitely is a "blast from the past". I have often wondered what so many of "the cousins" are doing: I know we lose touch as we become involved in our own lives and our own families. I can't wait to meet your wives, husbands, children, etc., and to simply relax and have fun with the family. I remember going to the lake and playing volleyball, having cookouts (poor tante Madeline, for I realize now that I'm an adult, how we "ate her out of house and home), and hanging out around bonfires at night. These are the things that I would definitely love to do again for next summer. The only thought I had for accommodating such a large crowd of cousins would be to book the "Gateway" hotel ASAP since the probable reunion date would be around the same time as the Acadia festival. I know "The Gateway" isn't exactly the "Hilton", but can they block out a certain amount of rooms, much like you would do for a wedding party?
