ATTENTION: Tri State/NY Metro Family Picnic UPDATE
Hi everyone!
So the date is set for Saturday August 25 at 2 p.m. nykrissy's home in Dutchess, NY. It will be a BBQ and nykrissy and family have generously offered to supply the meat for the grill. The purpose of this thread is to ask everyone to post what they can bring as far as sides, desserts, drinks and paper goods so we don't have 10 desserts and nothing to drink- LOL! There will be about 20-25 of us including the kiddos so you should bring enough to cover that amount of people. So, start posting!

Unless something else needs to be filled in for the meal, we will focus on pre-meal snacks. Tortilla chips and salsa; veggies and bread and dips; and fruit salad!

We can bring soda. Let me know if you need desserts--boxed, of course. I'm not a great cook.

Wish we could make it...We are expected to go out to dinner that night with his parents for their anniversary. I did not realize it was on the same night. We would of been there in a heart beat. I was so estatic thinking I am going to meet some of my forum family in NY but they had other plans. We should be there again Thanksgiving week. Maybe we can catch up than. Have fun you all and I will be thinking of everyone.
Rose
