I hope this finds everyone eagerly anticipating the weekend to come in a couple of weeks.  I am excited to see everyone and wanted to bring you all up to speed on a couple of things.  First, on Friday, July 20th, Shannon and Birch will be having their rehearsal dinner.  Because most of the family will be in town on Friday, and not everyone will be attending the rehearsal, I thought it would be fun to have a BBQ at Nate's and my house.  Everyone is invited.  We will have a new deck built, some yard games to be played, a park with a pool half a block away, and lots of food and beverages.  I don't know why you wouldn't want to come!  So if you could post on the blog something that you could bring, I could figure out what I need to round up on my end.

Second, I thought it would be really fun on Saturday morning to play some golf.  Anyone is invited to play, and I was thinking of doing either nine holes at the regulation golf course, or 18 holes at the par 3.  I figure both would take about the same amount of time.  My idea was to do a 2-person scramble, so it won't take us forever.  We could randomly draw names from a hat to pair up, then play as foursomes once we get to the course.  I also thought it would be fun to include some prizes for closest to the pin, long drive (if we play at the regulation course), and longest putt.  So this post is also to see who may be interested in participating in something like that.  I would need to know fairly soon as I would have to call the public course to see if they have anything going on that day and set up some tee times, or talk to the pro shop at the par 3 to do the same thing.  Aunts and uncles who read this, if you could pass it on to the Facebookers who rarely come on here anymore, I would greatly appreciate it.

I hope everyone has been having a great summer and surviving this heat.  Moorefest 2012 is shaping up to be epic, so bring your party pants and plenty of energy!  See you all soon.
