When planning this date, we discussed a picnic and/ or Frisbee golf. Suggestions on activities, menus and times are welcome.

EDIT: We've decised on a picnic with disk golf for those who wish to play. We will meet at Lone Lake Park in Minnetonka. Show up in the afternoon for games/activities. Grilling for dinner will begin at 6:00.

The May event is finished. Do we have any ideas/discussion on June?

I like the idea of picnic and frisbee golf. Although...since we didn't get everything done on the float...perhaps a painting party? or we can do that seperately, just throwing it out there.

I'm feeling squirrley!!

I really don't think the painting will take more than an hour (on the high side). It just needs to be rolled on. You all can decide what we should do in June. Just don't let a little unfinished float work dictate the meeting.

Can anyone suggest a good park with a disc golf course for those interested. I know of one in Eden Prairie, off of Shadey Oak, just north of 62.

I know a few parks that have disc golf courses and places for bbq/picnic stuff. I believe the one you are speaking of is Lone Lake.
There's also one off 62 near Southdale.
There's one by my house, it's in Crystal and I think it's Douglas and 32ndish...I haven't been there yet, so not positive it has picnic stuff, but it's a pretty big park.

I found the park today in Crystal. It's called Bassett Creek (sp?) and it's off of 32nd ave east of Douglas Ave. The main parking lot is really close to Xenia ave. There are baseball/softball fields, volleyball courts, frisbee golf course, a small garden next to a lake, covered picnic areas and some grilling stands. I think it would make a nice location...however, I may be unable to attend

That is a nice park. We had a company picnic there. As I recall, even if the shelter is in use, there was ample shade.

I'm a maybe for this one. I will have just gotten in from Portland OR on the red-eye. I'll be at my folks' house, which is just minutes from the Lone Lake park (hint, hint).

I think my brother knew I was wanting this Sunday free and just messed with my head...Sadly I will be busy working on my dad's house on Sunday the 14th. So...if you guys do end up at Lone Lake, I might be able to drop by and say hi, no clue how long it will take to do his floors, but they live very close to that park...

Well, between Karen, Brian and me, that is kinda like three votes for Lone Lake Park. Let's make that the plan.

The park is located on the west side of Shadey Oak Road, north of Hwy 62 and south of Excelsior Blvd. (in Hopkins). It is really easy to find. When you enter, there are some play fields, with parking to the right. However, if you follow the road to the left, it winds down around a hill to a lower lot. This area has more parking, a picnic shelter, and I believe, hole 1 of the disk golf course.

What time should we meet? Do we want to plan on grilling, or sandwiches, etc?

I assume they have BBQ pits so let's plan on grilling. Summer in MN is too short not to grill whenever you get the chance.

Dinner about 6:00 PM with activities before that? Could start as early as people want to show up, really depends on how long they want to hang out. Say start at 2:00 PM and go from there? I have a few yard games (washers and corn-bag toss) if we want to have those around.

Meesa Jar Jar Binks, meesa love you long time...

I like that plan, the later in the day it is the better odds I have to making it. They also have a volleyball court and horse shoe pits...or at least they did a number of years ago.

Cool plan. I can bring bocci ball.

Brian, since you work near there, could you run over at some point and verify the grill situation?

Wow...have they changed the park bigtime!
First of all there's a ton of construction on Shady Oak, so the entrance to the park is no longer labeled. They have taken out the golf course, volley ball courts and horse shoe pits in favor of...parking?!
not sure who's bright idea that was; take away all the reasons to go to the park, but triple the available parking.
There are two pavillions, both have grills, one currently has come construction going on around it so there are no picnic tables under it. Um...so, yeah, that's my report.

Hmmm... shall we proceed with this location? Any thoughts? The park Brian mentioned up in Crystal (Basset Creek) is a very nice location too.

I love how tax dollars are spent on redoing perfectly good parks, since that is obviously the biggest social problem we have in the country.

I knew about the construction on Shady Oak Rd, but had no idea they were working IN the park, too! If you'd rather change locations, don't count my vote unless only a few of us are going. If it's farther north, I probably won't be able to stay for the picnic, since I have to drive home, then be up early to teach on Monday in Mankato. (darn red-eye flights!)
