I'm certain we'll get most of them. It would be good if all three cottages were booked by members so we can party over there without disturbing others that are not there for the meet.

[Vaughn]

My boys don't want a cabin for this meet, I wonder why.

Nobody wants to sleep in the same cabin with the 18 month old baby.

[Vaughn]

I don't think it is because of the baby, might be the bench racing, just saying.
