Back to School

Labor day weekend has come and gone. We've made it to the unofficial end of summer. How does it always go so fast! All the kids are back in school and the leaves are already starting to change. We're so glad we had nice weather for the last big weekend of summer. During the day the pool was the place to be. By dusk there was just enough nip in the air that it felt good to sit around the bonfire making S'mores. It may feel like summer is over, but don't forget there's still 7 more weeks to go before the end of the camping season. We're going to end our season with the 2nd Annual Halloween Bash. You don't want to miss it.

Bounce and Slide

The rain held off just enough for us to have a great weekend. The Bounce Castle and Waterslide were a big hit with the kids. Thank you to Vermont Bounce for coming and setting it all up for us. We couldn't get away without a little rain Saturday evening but it all cleared out in time for the Ice Cream Social. We also had a nice turnout for the candy bar bingo Sunday Morning.

Rain, Rain, Go Away....

We have had our fill of rain here in NH. Our thoughts go out to the folks at Ashland who got caught in the flash flood and to the people who had a tornado (of all things!) do damage to their homes.

Thankfully, the Baker River hasn't flooded on us. We did have a tree get struck by lightening and that somehow traveled to our wireless internet system and fried it. Apparently the crazy weather that brought us tons of snow this winter is hanging around for the summer. The good news is, nobody has to worry about their well going dry or watering the lawn.

Pig Roast Weekend

Jack got up at 2:00am Saturday morning and got the pig on the fire. He spent all day Saturday tending to the pig (with a little help from his brother and the Serra's). We had beautiful weather Saturday right up until it was time to eat. To play it safe we moved the tables inside, and once the last hamburger was grilled and all got our plates were filled it started to downpour. Perfect timing. The food was excellent. The pig was delicious and the campers brought so many tasty side dishes it was hard to decide what to put on your plate. We had lot's of activities besides the pig roast. The men played a horseshoe tournament, and the kids had a scavenger hunt and the weather was nice enough during the day Saturday for swimming and kayaking. Thanks to everyone who came. We had a great time and we hope you come back in October for our end of the season Pig Roast/Halloween Party.

Getting Ready For The Pig Roast

Preparations are under way for the 2nd annual Pig Roast! Chris and Joe have a big to do list this week. They've got the tent set up and power washed and the campground has been mowed. The pig cooker is coming in today and the special wood Jack's been saving for the pig has to be hauled over. We've been busy in the office taking last minute reservations. It's a lot of extra work but, it's worth it. It's going to be a great weekend!

Our own field of dreams

The guys found the time to put a ball diamond in the back field. While they were at it they decided to put in some benches for the teams or spectators to sit on. It turned out pretty nice.

Christmas in July

It was all about Christmas this weekend. At first we were thinking "It's to hot to feel like Christmas" but, once the decorations started going up and the Christmas music was playing it was easy to get into the spirit. By Saturday the kids were ready for making Christmas crafts and after a quick dip in the pool, we started the judging for the best decorated site. Congratulations to the Lynds. Later that afternoon we had a special visit from Santa! Coming from the North Pole he wasn't used to the heat so we let him sit in the air conditioned Rec. Hall. After Santa handed out his gifts we ended the evening with our awesome ice cream social. After dark it was campfires, s'more's, stars and Christmas lights.
