We hosted our own family reunion at the Family Cove & Corner Duplexes on Sunday May 20th with approximately 40-45 family members throughout the day (14 people actually sleeping at the homes). So it was a great dry run to see how the homes would accommodate our guests this summer. I’m happy to report that it worked out exceptionally well.
The fridge space was great, the space for people to choose to visit in one home or another (generally the older generation chose one living room while the young un’s were in another). One kitchen was used for food preparation and everyone ate outside. I can even provide a menu list – all of which was purchased at Costco for $352. With most people contributing $15 towards the food – it was all covered by the family. Just an FYI if anyone would like some help with menu or shopping planning – I will be happy to share tips. It worked great cause we got the pre-marinated meats – so no need to buy extra sauces that we wouldn’t use.
One of the yards and picnic tables was used for all the children (blowing bubbles, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chips. Afterwords they got hosed off and some of the adults lead a forage into the lagoon to the playground to wear them all out for their naps. While another yard was used for adult eating and visiting.
The event went all day and it worked out really well. Throughout the day different groups of people (mainly brothers and sisters) broke off and went for walks down to the Wharf and Boardwalk to visit alone and work off some calories.
As night approached the older folks and couples headed off to bed in one unit – while the youngsters who wanted to stay up and watch movies were in the other unit. It was great as everyone could choose their own schedule and activities yet everyone got to visit and head off to bed whenever they wanted.
