New Englad Meet and Greet in January
Hello all-
Anyone up for another get together..it's been a while... I would be up for planning and finding a place - our house is just too small for too many people inside. I can't do the weekend of Jan 7/8 as I have family here from Ireland but I can do the weekend after - does that work?? Any newbies are welcome too! Let me know Karne

I can get together - are you thinking just adults or a playdate with kids? I have some ideas for either situation and look forward to seeing everyone!

Great idea! We had a great turnout at the gathering last January - let's try it again.
The second weekend is MLK Jr. weekend, and we'll probably be away at a family gathering. E's bday is the 18th, so we'll probably have her party the 20th. How about Sunday the 21st???

A get together sounds great to us. We would be partial to getting together with children. Let me know the date. We will do our best to keep the weekends free in January.

How about the last weekend in Jan.? That would be best for us. Would we want to go back to the place we went last time? That was fun there!

Bumping back up and also to say last week in Jan would be good for us too...
Brujitos in Salem unfortunately closed! The owners moved out of state. I'm sure we can find an indoor play area that we can all get to (though I don't have any brilliant ideas... )Laura

Carina and I would love to come this time and meet everyone.
I just can't do the last weekend in Jan. or I should say I could do the 27th but not the 28th, otherwise I am up for it.

Ok - how about we do Jan 27th since that seems to work for everyone??? and we will do it in the morning since that usually seems better for naps in the afternoon (and face it those of us with kiddos are up plenty early!!!)
Jenbmom and I got together last week and she told me about Brujitos! we will put our heads together and find a place where 1) we can talk and 2) our kids can have fun too...(which means no chuck e cheese!) Stacy where are you? are you coming? Linda? I remember where everyone lives so we will try not to make it to far a drive for anyone except you Brit! I wish I could teleport you!! and if you have any suggestions pm me!

I thought I had already replied but count Kira and I, I wish I had a wonderful suggestion right now but I don't. We are in the middle of making the basement a playroom
so in a few months (or more?) you are all welcome to come let them go crazy here. -Peg |

Tim and I will plan to come. There's a place in Lawrence (in one of the old millls) off of 495 (I think it's called "imagine that" or something close) that is a pretty nice indoor play area (they also do parties and such) and is also just upstairs from a Sal's pizza with a nice sit down area. The downside is that they charge admission for the kids - but maybe we could swing a group deal (I'll check)

Hi Linda,
I have been to that place in Lawrence: it's pretty nice, and Anthony always has a good time there. Plus, Sal's Pizza is delicious! Not sure if I can post a link here, but the admission cost is pretty cheap. I think kids under 2 are free, parents are $5.00 or something like that. Jenny |

Is there a place and a time yet?
Just wondering if anyone made any final decisions on
dates and times. Thanks Stacy
