I want to compose a recap of the "plans" for next weekend and then email to those involved of whom I know mail addresses.

Friday: Hannah and Will arrive in Indy at approximately 10:30.
Hope has already driven to Indy and dropped many blankets, sheets, sleeping bags and things to make people comfortable, perhaps even a small card table at Heather's house.
Hope picks up Hannah and Will, instantly likes Will and approves of Hannah's good decision.
Hope Hannah and Will come back to Bloomington and sleep as much as possible.

Barbara & Matt arrive at Indy a couple of hours later. They rent a car and drive to Heather's apartment and sleep there. Heather instantly likes Matt and approves of Barbara's good decision.

Saturday: Hannah, Will Hope and Michael volunteer at the bike race in Plainfield, drive on to Lafayette from there arriving at approximately 2-3:00 pm.
Barbara & Matt drive to Lafayette, bringing all the comfort items previously deposited at Heather's and spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa, who instantly like Matt, and approve of Barbara's good decision.
Heather has to work at the store :( But comes to Lafayette later in the evening to meet up with everyone and enjoy some calm-down time and get to know the new nephew-in-laws, instantly liking them and approving of the nieces' good decisions.
Karen and Angela and Rebecca also arrive mid-afternoon.
Spencer and Kim and girls arrive mid-afternoon. We all meet Kim, like her instantly and approve of Spencer's good decision.
Luke and Jessica and Jane arrive and we all squeal with delight at Jane's inherent Pechin beauty, with a little bit of Humphries thrown in for good measure.
Dinner that night will be at Columbian Park most likely, and consist of an easy repast of sandwiches, chips, deli salads and refreshing beverages. If there is no shelter available, we'll blanket it and find a bench nearby for Mom and Dad and nursing moms who may need a nice place to sit.
Sleeping arrangements will most likely be: Hannah and Will and Barbara and Matt at Mom and Dad's: Karen, Luke, Jessica and Jane at Aunt Jean's, Hope, Michael and Heather at Emily's (or Michael in a tent somewhere), Spencer, Kim and girls in the hotel room. Rebecca and Angela? Aunt Jane's? Aunt Jean's? Tent somewhere?
Sarah and Jake and children will arrive in the middle of the night and squish into a tiny room in Emily's apartment.
Amber and Steve have shunned us in favor of Steve's family in Michigan and we all mourn their absence.

Sunday: Those who wish get up and get ready for church, which begins at 11:00. They attend sacrament meeting only. Those who do not attend church make preparations for lunch. Afterward we all converge at Happy Hollow Park for a nicer luncheon, including vegetarian options and cake and again, refreshing beverages. After much happiness and conversation and loving and fun activities, those heading to Michigan depart. Hope and Michael head back to Emily's apartment to pick up any remaining bedding or cooking gear and make sure it is clean.
Hope and Michael head over to Mom and Dad's to pick up any remaining bedding and/or tent if it has been used. If it gets very late, Hope and Michael can stay overnight because Hope is now on VACATION!!!

Heather needs a little time to recover from driving and then heads back to Indy because she has to work the next day. :(

When the crew arrives in Michigan they tell Amber and Steve how wonderful the Indiana experience was, and the Price family regrets their decision to shun the Pechins. Everbody is happy and satisfied and YAY! We all got together again despite the long distances between us.
