Southeast Missouri/KY/IL get-together?
I know there's a big Missouri get-together at Tan-Tar-A in August, BUT I can't go that month. Would anyone in the area of SE MO and KY and southern/central IL want to meet in STL or Cape Girardeau for just a day at the zoo, or a park or picnic, or all of the above? No overnight stay unless you wanted to.
If you are interested, post some possible dates here, in June or July, maybe? And some ideas of what to do that day, as well. PM me too with your email so I can contact you once we figure things out!

Depending on the day, we might be able to come! We've got stuff going on the last two weekends in July and the first two weekends in August, but any other weekend we could probably swing it! Keep me posted!

OK all, the dates I have rec'd that look good to everyone who has a preference so far are the weekend of 7 June or the weekend of 12 July.
Does anyone have issue w/either of those? Or a preference as to which we do? And, do we want Sat. or Sun.?

We have a lot of trips planned for this summer, BUT for my MO buddies, I could see what we could swing.
*If we do come, we would definitely need to stay overnight.

Becca-I PM'd you.
I'd love to get together with other families if you decide to meet in St.Louis (where we live). I don't think I could make it to Cape. If you do decide on Cape, have a great time! Michele

We live in Central IL and would be interested in meeting in St. Louis. My husband has the entire month of July off for infant care leave so we could meet anytime during the month.
