How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Well, opening the campground is like being a mouse looking up the leg of an elephant…if you look up long enough, you begin to believe there’s no end in sight.
I know, I hear you saying…stop whining, it’s been a dry Spring and Winter was a piece of cake. Yup…but that just adds to the ambition. You know how it is, your plans expand in direct proportion to how much time you think you have…so the bottom line was simple…without the help of friends we’d never have been able to open…yesterday!
Our clean up weekend is always Mother’s Day weekend in May. We’d love to host everybody who wants to come but found that it’s best to limit attendance to about 20 families…that way there’s room to relax, improvise and enjoy each others company. If you’d like to join us next year, let us know beginning in March 2013…we’d love to have you join us!

What a fabulous weekend!
The sun was shining . . .
the temperatures were mild.
Some of our campers even went swimming!
And if you think that’s just crazy talk, what would you think if I told you I talked Tami into buying Edible Crickets to sell in the candy aisle. It took like hours and hours of begging and pleading and whining before she finally caved. Even as she wrote it on the purchase order, she bet me no one would buy them. She said she’d be stuck with them for years to come! She said she’d make me sit down and eat them all by myself if they didn’t sell.
Well, guess what?
I win!
HA!
These brave campers . . .
bought . . .
and ATE . . .
Not one, but threeeeeeee boxes!
(Whew! I was worried there for awhile)
Good news! Maggie’s back for the 2012 Summer Season!! She helped my camping buddies make flower presents for their Moms on Saturday morning.
Then they all shot water balloons in the playing field and tossed horseshoes too. Tami said she could hear them playing, and screeching and having fun all day long!
On Sunday Morning, they served their Moms at our Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast.
We had tons of volunteer cookers, and servers and cleaners . . . a big, big Thank You to everyone who helped!
We couldn’t have done it without you.
I hope all our campers had a wonderful Mother’s Day Weekend!
‘Cause we sure did!
