It's YOUR time ... time with your family and friends.  You get to choose what you want to do and who you hang out with.  :-)   In a way ... it's plan your own party, time along, together or whatever you would like to do.

Mark & Rosanna’s property is a place to relax, connect, and simply enjoy life. Whether it’s kayaking, spending time by the river, reading beside the pond, walking through the woods, playing volleyball or other sports, or riding the go-cart (helmet required 😊), there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 

Start the morning with breakfast overlooking the river and some of the most beautiful sunrises you’ll ever see. Spend the afternoons enjoying cookouts, and end the evenings roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, laughing together, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. You, your family, and your guests are welcome to come by anytime and enjoy the experience.

Mark & Rosanna, along with their children and grandchildren, may be around the property, at one of the parks, out on the pontoon boat, or off kayaking or canoeing — and that’s part of the fun. Everyone is free to enjoy the activities and atmosphere at their own pace. Some moments may be shared together, while others may simply be enjoyed individually.

There is a spreadsheet, naturally with Rosanna's desire to have things organized😊 outlining optional activities and events throughout the week that anyone is welcome to join. The schedule is intentionally flexible, so you have the freedom to spend time with the people and activities that matter most to you.

Above all else, the goal is simple: have FUN, create meaningful memories, and be reminded just how precious life truly is.
There is absolutely no obligation to participate in anything. Join in for a few hours, a day or two, or the entire week — whatever feels right for you. It’s completely your choice.

For additional information, details, email Rosanna at MakingAdifferenceInLife7@gmail.com  or call / text Rosanna at 630-649-4059

Rosanna can get your the spreadsheet which will keep you updated on the plans.

There are many reasonably price accommodations.  There are RV Parks, camp grounds, Airbnb, Bed & Breakfasts and you could camp out by Mark & Rosanna's by the river / pond or in their non-renovated cabin.  :-)   Sorry ... Mark said he was willing to give up his waterbed, but Rosanna's not going for that. :-(
