A minute to talk quickly about the summer event
We could go to Eric's parents' cottage, which has two sleeping cabins
- The Sanders could stay in the cottage ... easier for looking after small kids
- Eric's family could take the larger cabin and Ben could have the smaller one
- We could offer to help out with needed tasks around the cottage while we're there
Need wetsuits if we're going to do YayLifeTri 2013 in Canada
Evaluation
- Eric ... I loved this call. Since it is the last call before a major event, there is the feeling of all pulling together to make something happen
- Shelley ... I feel good
- Ben ... Excited about the trip, and a little apprehensive about forgetting to pack something important
- Brandon ... I really dig the work bee style; getting the news together was very rewarding for me.
