I have only heard people express they wouldn't mind going to one of the lakes and doing a potluck-like thing! So! What we need to do next is to get a date and time set!
Please reply with the date/time that works best for you and what you think you'd like to bring! We (Adamswife and I) will take care of beverages and eating utensils/plates, etc., so no need to worry about that! I also have a propane camping grill (pretty good size) that I can bring, so how about we keep the pot-luck to side items and each person bring their own meat they'd like to grill?
I am also thinking Lake Harriet would be a good spot! There is a play area near the lake on one side of the lake that the little ones would enjoy, if they're old enough (for those of you who are familiar with the lake, it is near the split between Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun)!
Also, please keep in mind that if you can't make one of these dates, we're hoping to host other get-togethers, so please don't worry if you miss this one. I hope this to just be the first of many!
Thanks, ladies! Please reply by the end of next week (7/19/09) so we can get an idea of how many are possibly coming! I hope to give you all a 'head count' by Monday, July 20th!
Enjoy the sunshine!

Update: Feel free to bring your DH/SO if you'd like! Not sure how many guys will be there, but it's a good chance to meet other couples as well as other moms!
Re: MN Moms GTG: Let's pick a date!
Just so all know, I added an edit above: DHs/SOs are free to come if they wish! Not sure how many will actually be there, but it could be a good way to get to know other couples -- first time parents or not!
Keep letting me know the dates you want! :-)
Most of the dates work for me except for August 22nd; DH and I will be out of town. Look forward to our GTG!
