    @oliviaoblivia: You thinking the 23rd or 24th? I definitely want to do a meetup! Not sure I can commit though because Hubs parents are divorced so we MIGHT have to see someone that weekend, but I'll definitely put it on my calendar anyway so I don't book anything else!

    @Adira: I think the 23rd. I'll book early flights and then an afternoon meet up. That way if everyone can only do the 24th I'm still around.

    @oliviaoblivia: I am available anytime! I work two days a week but will know what days next week, so I can let you know. I'm in Cumberland, so we can meet wherever works best for you guys! Here, there, somewhere in the middle, whatevs!

    waiting for more bees for date ideas! I need to grab a sheet of paper and write down who can meet when to try to figure out the best date for more people?

    I could potentially do the 20th! I can't do the weekend of the 6-7.

    Bumping! So far only replies are for 20th?

    @cheesetomywhine: @oliviaoblivia: next week, right? Where do you guys wanna meet? I'll have my work schedule for next week today!

    @sorrycharlie: yes next week. I am fine for anywhere. Roger williams park (near zoo) is pretty. We're free between 11 & 1 and after 3/3:30.

    ETA- you can contact me on FB to finalize if you prefer discretion

    @cheesetomywhine: @sorrycharlie: I'm good for Roger Williams park next week! We have something Tuesday, but the rest of the days are open.

  17. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    bumping for more beeeeeees??

    @cheesetomywhine: @oliviaoblivia: yes! I don't get the days I'm working til this weekend. She had to check with her husband before telling me the days. But if we figure one out I'll just tell her I'm unavailable that day. I also have a zoo pass if you guys are interested in that! Park works too though, less walking more sitting hahah! @oliviaoblivia: can you wall me an email address? then we can figure out a time and day not on public blast I'm already fb friends with @cheesetomywhine

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    Soooooo... are we meeting up on the 20th? I'm not super local to Boston, but I'm about an hour away, so definitely want to meet up. Somewhere I can drive to and park would be the best for me, though I don't know about others. I'd love to meet some Bees!!!!

  19. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    I think 20th seems to work! I meant to come back to this thread last night and spaced out.

    @Adira: @maybebaby: @rachiecakes: @mrs. wagon: @cheesetomywhine: @MrsF:

    am I missing anyone? also..call me paranoid, but should we move the specific place and time to email? or a gold thread (is everyone gold??)

  20. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @sorrycharlie: I'm Gold, so that's fine with me! Though I think if we pick somewhere public, it should be okay either way. I know other Boston meetups (that I missed) were scheduled before Gold and they seemed to go okay.

    @sorrycharlie: I am available on the 20th!
    I am not gold though- so maybe you can email me the info?

  22. cheesetomywhine

    pear / 1586 posts

    @sorrycharlie: I am not gold either.

  23. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    I stink at remembering to update this. Sheesh.

    So is everyone on board for 20th? Any ideas for a rain date location - or even regular location?

    Timing? I think 11:30 ish would work for us - we're about 45 minutes away from where we will probably end up meeting, and she wakes up at 10:30 or so from morning nap. Anyone else have time input?

  24. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @sorrycharlie: I'm not super familiar with Boston and its suburbs, so I'm not sure where to meet, though somewhere that I can drive to and park at would be preferable. Where were previous meetups held?

    11:30 would work for us too. That should allow me enough time for travel without having to feed Xander. I will have to nurse him once I'm there though, so all you ladies might get a view of my boobs!

  25. MrsF

    honeydew / 7283 posts

    @sorrycharlie: I'm hoping M and I can come! 11:30 is usually a great time for us, nap-wise. I second the request for a place that is drive and park-able.

  26. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    I know they met at Patriot Place before. Anyone know if that was a good location? Would people want to go there again or are we hoping for something different (or something outside)?

  27. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    @Adira: we met at Legacy Place at Au Bon Pain. The second meetup was @ Milennium Park. There may be options at Patriot Place though? I haven't been there in awhile!

    How old are the LOs going? If there are several mobile ones, space to roam/play on floors might be better?

    @MrsF: drive able and parkable here too! Lol

    @cheesetomywhine: @cheert16: @maybebaby: @rachiecakes: @mrs. wagon: @bpcmarj: @novbaby1112: @mrsh:

  28. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @sorrycharlie: Meh, I was just making shit up anyway.

    Xander's only 4.5 months, so not mobile at all!

  29. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    @Adira: lmao! No worries. Sound the same to me.

  30. MrsF

    honeydew / 7283 posts

    @sorrycharlie: M is 9 months and crawling

    just making sure I didn't miss anyone - I probably did going back and forth between the pages, though! weather channel app says 10-day forecast shows 85 and chance of tstorms for Saturday.

    I'm not really good with the area as far as indoor locations and can't remember the location @mrs. wagon suggested last time. I also missed the milennium park meetup, so no idea on shade/etc. may be good to have an indoor backup

    so tentatively this saturday..anyone else in?

  32. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @sorrycharlie: If it's going to be that hot, might be good to have it inside regardless. Not sure how old everyone's LOs are, but 85 in the sun might be a bit much? Though if we go somewhere that has good shade, it would probably be fine.

    blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts

    @sorrycharlie: hello hello hello!!! so sorry I have been missing these tags, they didn't get emailed to me... bahhhh. And obviously I have been busy..!!!! This weekend was insane! I am so run down today!!!!!

    So my suggestion is ABSOLUTELY to stay indoors. I think the heat wave is supposed to break this weekend but probably not in time for Saturday morning. My suggestion is the indoor playground in Watertown. There's a great baby-only area that's large and flat with lots of toys around so semi-mobile babies can crawl around and play. We could just find a spot to sit in a circle, let the kids play, TRY to talk, and take lots of pics, of course!!!

    http://indooroutdoorplayground.com/

    First child is $10, First adult is free. Second child: under 8 months is free, over 8 months is $8. Additional adults are $2.

    Does this sound like an ok location for all?? The other indoor playspace we frequent is right by us in West Roxbury (just outside of Dedham) but it's not nearly as big, and the baby area is really tiny.

  34. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    that sounds like a good location! but no one really seems to be replying..LOL. would pushing the date back by a week or two work better? grasping at straws here

  35. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    AHH just saw on their website that they have an RI location coming soon!!! that is awesome! we don't have many great indoor areas around here @cheesetomywhine: we will have to get on that when it opens

  36. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    @sorrycharlie: @mrs. wagon: That location looks good to me!!!! And I'm still in for Saturday if others are!!!

    @MrsF: @cheesetomywhine: @cheert16: @maybebaby: @rachiecakes: Are you ladies still available for Saturday??

    11:30 a.m. @ http://indooroutdoorplayground.com/ ???

    i have a friend who might be coming to visit me from out of town this weekend, but if those plans fall through count me in! 11:30 works well for us too.

    honeydew / 7283 posts

    Sorry! For some reason I'm not getting notifications regarding this thread and some others even when I'm subscribed and tagged. It seems like others are having problems too?

    Anyway - I live right near watertown and I think M and I will be able to make it! I have to double check with DH about plans when we get home

    @sorrycharlie: @mrs. wagon: @Adira: @MrsF:

    we're going to the Cape Saturday but I would definitely want to stop in - can anyone do 10/10:30 am? I could probably hang out until around noon, I think (gotta ask DH).
    we live just a few blocks down from this place

    @sorrycharlie: I could also do next weekend if it works out better than this one
