Is anyone excited to be together this summer? WE ARE!!!! The Homestead is booked and the reunion will officially be June 23 - 26 (W-Sat) - MARK YOUR CALENDARS, REQUEST WORK OFF NOW. John's family will be there the 22-27 and anyone else is welcome to come the extra few days. We (the planning committee - John/Don) hope that this will be a priority for your family this summer. We promise that it will be worth all the effort that is put forth!
Welcome to the Whiting Homestead! We are excited to share with you one of the most sacred and special places that our family enjoys. We thought some pictures might help you to get a feel for what is in store for us this summer. Located in the White Mountains of Arizona - enjoy cooler weather surrounded by pine trees and star lit night skies. (Bring jackets and sweatshirts for the evenings! AND older clothes! There's lots, um... lots and lots of dirt!)

This is the inside of the family cabin. It's not large, but it's clean.
When it's over... we all collect the trash! Gotta keep the Homestead clean!

We appreciate everyone making this 2 year tradition a part of our family. Having us all together is what makes the best memories. We love you all and look forward to a wonderful reunion!

Thanks guys! I was just thinking about it today and was going to email you for the official dates. We are excited! Do we have a rough idea of the cost per person?
Oh, and let me know if there is anything we can do to help.
Sounds like a riproaring radical ride. And that's just the drive to get there. We can't wait!
I was going to email you on facebook today to ask for dates. You are so on top of things. Thanks for booking it! We should probably chat soon and make some more plans. Thanks Mindy!
