Wow, I am VERY excited to hear that you guys are considering flying together as a whole family. I guess it would feel sort of incomplete with only Rene.

I agree that we should come up with a fee per adult, and maybe for the small kids we could come up with a smaller fee. I was thinking that maybe $5 per adult per day and & $2 per child per day would be good number, but I am not sure if it would be enough. With all of us there it would give us a budget of approximately $90 per day. Don't you think that would be enough? Or do you think it's too much? In my opinion it's not too much, because you would be getting 3 meals for your 5 bucks. And also, I think it's probably about the same amt. of money you would spend on average for your groceries here in the U.S. Rene & Hanka will probably have a better idea, if it's doable, or what would be a realistic amt. of money per day for 15 adults and 7 children.

One song suggestion I have is: "Beyond the Sunset" (Az zajde slunce). I know that's been one of our mom's favorite songs, and we would always sing it for our Friday evening worship. I can totally picture her in her long black velvet dress with that pattern...

So, what time do you want to do the dinner on Tuesday night? 6p.m.? Let's settle on that, so that we can have our first entry in our calendar. Kamil, would you please reconsider flying in earlier? I mean, we don't want to push you or anything... But how much of a difference is it going to be in the ticket price?

As far as the cake, everyone will be pitching in $10 (I am not expecting Rena to pay) Also, I think we should pay for mom's dinner and Renata and Jirka's dinner too. But the restaurants in Czech are pretty cheap, so it won't be so much.

As far as breakfasts, I don't really care, I think we should keep it simple, but also have variety. I would provide for each breakfast 1 or 2 kinds of cereal (I think it's a good idea that if you want a cereal, bring a box with you), and then slice up some bread and maybe rohliky and have some spreads with it. Maybe one each day, and then maybe just margarine and jelly for kids. I would like to see some soups for lunches, our mom can make some "killer" soups, and maybe something little more "fancy" for dinner (like dumplings with gravy, mashed potatoes with something...) But I am not an expert on dining, so you Zuzka do whatever you think would be best.

Rachel & Zigi, you guys had some ideas for the other days what we could do together as a family, could you please give some concrete suggestion, and would you possibly be willing in organizing some of the activities for during the week?

What day would you want to go do the CD? If Kamil considered flying his family in on Tuesday, could we do it on Wednesday? (considering Tom's availability). I know it would take probably all day, and I know it couldn't be done with kids around, so I was thinking that maybe our mom, Rena & maybe Vladka & somebody else from the church could come hang out with the kids for the day. Then, Thursday we could do some fun activities organized by Zigi & Rachel, and Friday do a "help" day for our mom, just help out with whatever is needed.

So, that's all from me for now...

Ezra & Levi say hi and bye.
