Several questions...

can you tell me what the costs involved are? is it just fuel, campground, and food, basically?

any fee's to go on trailrides or the raffle/dinner?

I have three daughters ranging from 4.5 to 6months. We're considering bringing the two older ones. Think they'd have a good time? They're already good campers!

pic. thread of the camping spots?
 
Fuel & food are somewhat mandatory costs. Campground's $28/night where the group is. Some folks stay at the Motel 6 in town, or at a friend's, etc. Some folks just drive up for the day (but from San Diego with younger kids, I'd think you'd be better off using the girls' camping skills.

The raffle & dinner are both optional; the raffle tickets will be for sale, as will the dinner tickets. There is no fee for the trail rides. I would presume your girls would have fun, as it's pretty & camp-esque up there. May be cold, may be balmy (it was beautiful last year, though!).

I did not know you were a" Madam" Carol Nice.....SANTA
Hey, if I was, I sure wouldn't be as broke as I usually am!! So I think that's one thing I'll have to declare myself innocent of...
 
Wow, Karen, I had no idea you thought like that! (Yeah...right). Actually, "pranking accordingly" could be about right, on some trips (like the one with the wandering gnome).
 
I might bring family up for day.
