Family Gathering in Lincoln and David's Birthday

We (West coast, Natick, Canton, and Lincoln Hales) will gather in Lincoln to celebrate the family and David's birthday on 16 June. The pool will be open and the weather at this point supports swimming for those brave enough to confront the cold water. We will have a mint chocolate ice cream cake and will order BBQ from Blue Ribbon in Arlington. Some of the food we will order is pulled pork, brisket, ribs, green beans, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and corn bread. We will also ensure there are chicken and veggie options available.  

The gathering will "start" at 1pm and go until people leave. We will have our dinner and cake late afternoon and early evening. There are no hard times surrounding this event. Come when you can make it.

We will have a variety of pitas, wraps, bread, and glutton free options with cold cuts, peanut butter and jelly, chicken salad and other similar options. There will also be chips and people will have options to get sandwiches from the Island Market as they wish. These lunches will not be formal sit down family lunches, but as people get hungry they can eat. 

Grilled Chicken Pita Sandwiches

These sandwiches are served in pita bread consisting of hot cut up grilled chicken, tomatoes, onions, olive oil, feta, lemon, cilantro, cucumbers, with either tzaziki or hummus.

The left over chicken will be made into chicken salad for lunches.

Food Safety

Currently the only dietary considerations are having gluten free options and low meat/veggie options. Additionally, we will try and generally have a healthy meals.

Drinks

Families should bring the adult beverages they desire. Please bring quantity enough for a little sharing. 

There is already some soda up there and we can get more from the Island store. The island store will be open. There are also several little boxes of Chrystal light.

Snacks

Cookies, chips, veggies, pretzels, and such. We will also have pub cheese, hummus, and dip like snacks. Popcorn will also be available with a variety of flavored salt.

Sleeping Plan

Natick Hales have the second floor. Grandmother in her bed room. Kate and Quin in the bunkhouse. Sam, David, and Bryan in a tent. Please no sleeping on the couches in the main living room as it significantly impacts the ability of people to get up early and chat while drinking coffee and tea.  

Transportation Plan

Driving

Lincoln Hales will go up in Sam's truck and grandmother's car. Natick Hales will transport themselves.

Ferry Tickets

Grandmother will purchase ferry tickets for the family. She will provide Chris and Sam with images of those purchased tickets which they and their families will be able to use. 

Random Tasks

Golf Cart

Grandmother has already coordinated with Dylan for a golf cart. She and whoever will be the primary driver of it will pick up the golf cart on 17 June when we arrive and will return it on 19 June. Driver of the golf cart must be 21 or older.

Water

As the season has been wet, water is not a major concern at this point on the island or for the house. With that said, we want to take brief showers and will possibly set up the outdoor shower.

We will have plenty of spray to help keeps the ticks off.
