Announcing the Groneman Vacation for 2010!!!

By -

We have decided that since Brigham will be done with his residency and Steve will be in his third year (much easier than #2) , we would like to take all our kids/and kids "in love" (as Erica puts it) on a fun trip together....but we would like to see if it would be possible with the kids. So, here is the deal. There is a very old and very cool Bed and Breakfast in Marysvale http://www.oldpineinn.com/?gclid=CMv4zMCp2poCFRMUagodAHZK2g (where Kim took his sysops 2 years ago). We would pay for the lodging, the main meal for the day, and ATV's so we could all go riding together! Breakfast and snacks for the trail...we'd likely leave to your own preference. Now, the problem is, when? Brigham will be done in June, but they will be getting ready to move and moving then...and the summer is too hot, and stays too hot until fall, but then likely Brett and BJ, and probably Steve would be in school again. Is there any chance that Brigham could take like 4 -5 days off in May? I am hoping that whomever hires you to be their awesome Dr would also pay for your move, so that shouldn't be as big of a pain...
The only grandchild that is even feasibly old enough to be a participant is Benjamin...and I know that CK and Brigham don't want him going on one at all, say nothing of the 60 mile trips we take down there. Babies don't work for that kind of a trip, so you would need to get in-laws or someone else to take them. So, feedback people? Steve would you be available in May or fall?

The last 2 days of the trip were great, weather wise. I went out on Monday with the group. We saw lots of deer, turkeys, elk, squirel...and we found fresh footprints of a bear...along with some beautiful scenery! I think you would all enjoy it very much! So what do you think folks?

Would it be possible at all for THIS fall?

Wow! I'm not sure how this all fits into the new Groneman super-savings mode, but I'm not going to complain.

Actually, while Cambrie was here, we were discussing how we would love to go do Havasupai-- and Brett and Katie want to do it as well. It would be a lot less money, and I think it would be awesome!

What do you all think?

I am fine with whatever the group decides, but, as Kim wants to introduce his new passion to all of the family...thus his volunteering to pay for it. If we decide something else, you will all have to pitch in more to make it happen...but, maybe we could do one one year and one the next.

Price? How long has it been since we took a group vacation together...I think it was 2002. Average out the cost over 7 years, and it is not that much!

Steve has a school break this semptember, but we are using it for a cruise (PS you are all STILL invited to join us). His next school break is Christmas, Then march 19th-28th, than June 11th-July 5th, and then some time in late september again. It is POSSIBLE that he could have a long weekend somewhere else, but until we start 3rd year we don't know exactly what his schedule will be like. We know it is lighter homework wise, but it is also MUCH less flexible. He HAS to be in lab when they tell him to be (and there is no trading days). So, we will have to wait and see.

As for me, it would be fun but I won't be able to do it until I graduate at least. Then I'm pretty much free for anything... I don't think I'll be in school in the summer so whatever ya'll decide to do is good with me.

My rather useless answer is that at this point, we have no idea what in the world 2010 summer will be like. We won't be able to tell you for a long time. I imagine I'll be able to get time off of work, but that's no guarantee that we could do it even with time off of work.

I'm all for vacations though. If we can, we'll be there.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
