You're just a few clicks away from one fun time!

Well... Hello there.

 The keeper of the site....is Cherie Kimpel.  If you really, really need something, you can probably ask me. If I don't know, I'll find out!  This blog is where I will do my best to keep everyone updated on what's going on, but sometimes, work gets in the way.

Thanks for the Memories

Stole that title from a song. Surprise, surprise. I'm a thief. I'm slightly obsessed with Fall Out Boy. Google them, old geezers. It doesn't have anything to do with the song at all, but I just like the title. It's catchy, and really it works perfectly for what I wanted it for. This weekend was great. Seriously, thank you. The water park opened, the weather wasn't terrible, and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. You guys really make this campground!

Now, without further adieu, let's move on to this weekend! I have checked WeatherBug, again, and according to that goofy app, the sun temperatures are supposed to be warm. There's nothing that says it will be dry, but it will be warm. That should make for a significantly humid weekend. What I'm hoping for is the weatherman being wrong, like usual, and the rain really goes away for the weekend. You just never know with him. That guy must get alcohol in the mornings or something. Hint, hint, cough, cough, I could use some! 

It's going to be another busy weekend, camper wise. We really only have two things going on this weekend. Obviously, there's Bingo. But after that, we're kicking off our first Wine & Cheese Social of the year! I'm excited for this one. Ryan Roff will be there. I would tell you about him, but I like the suspense. Show up and find out who he is. Now I know all of you know the details of the Wine & Cheese Social: 21 and older only. Bring a wine (or beer is okay, I promise) and a snack to share. 

Happy camping!

It's Gonna Be a Good One

According to my WeatherBug app, not that it's ever right, we're only supposed to get rain on Saturday and Sunday. Small chances. Which means it's going to rain at some point. Welcome to Ohio. If you want to play a fun game, find the weatherman for your area and dump water on them. It's totally deserved. Just don't tell them who gave you the idea. 

Now, for this weekend, get ready. It's the first holiday weekend. Summer starts. The water park opens. We have activities galore. The sun shines.The water park opens... did I say that already? We're state approved! Do the happy dance! Do the happy dance! Did everyone see our tourist attraction signs on State Route 6?! They're pretty, and it took me over a week to see them. If the weather turns out good, then we're going to have a bomb weekend. I'm stoked! 

Activities! Who didn't get their schedule? Never fear! Read my blog:
Friday: Bingo (Not telling. Get over it.)
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. Breakfast (I'm cooking omelets!)
             2:00 p.m. Poker Hike (start @ Pavilion)
             8:00 p.m. Dale Vaughn Band
Sunday: 1:00 Bouncers
           3:00 Bingo
           8:00 Memory Lane Band 

If you get bored this weekend, then you're a hermit and should meet with me on weekends for tea. 

Did all of you know that I can see how many people click on my blog link weekly. 140! One hundred and forty! That had me smiling ear-to-ear. Keep it up. Even if you guys really aren't reading it. Just keep clicking! Make me feel loved! 

Now, since our offices are combined and the park is opening, you're going to get to see some really awesome faces. They're worse than me. You think I'm lying. I'm being seriously. They came in here like trained ninjas during the night. Dangerous girls. Don't believe me. Stop in. Or just stop in to see me and ignore the rest. :)

FINALLY! I promise I'm done after this. The speed limit is 5 mph. I love everyone, mostly, but if you are seen speeding this weekend, you won't like me. Kids are everywhere. I never want someone to get hurt because you couldn't follow the speed limit. 5 mph. Please. 

Happy camping!

Sun!

Who was just excited as me to get outside and get some work done?! The sun shine is awesome, just not on my skin. I got burned on Sunday. Surprise, surprise. Gingers need sunscreen, and I conveniently didn't have any. Seriously, I'm almost 27. You would think I'm adult enough to remember things like sunscreen, but apparently I'm not. I guess I'll be regretting it later in life. I wonder if I would look good without my nose... 

According to the WeatherBug app on my phone, it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend. Of course, there is some rain on Thursday and Sunday, but that can always change. Well, it probably will change. No one trusts the weatherman anymore. It's not a good job to have. 

We're having a slow weekend before all the madness starts. Saturday is bingo. If you've drove through, you might have noticed that the dock in the pond has been moved. It's not hard to spot, but you just never know with people anymore. We're going to have a "Where's Waldo?" moment. Find it! Also! If you didn't stop in for ice cream or a milkshake last weekend, shame on you. You need to stop by and see what we're handing out. It's worth it! No, I'm not going to tell you what it is. Visit us. Megan likes making ice cream! :) 

Megan will never know I'm writing these things about her. She doesn't read this! Haha! They'll learn. They'll all learn. 

Happy Camping!

I Need a ... Beverage

5/9/2017

For all those high school girls and boys who think it's a good idea to become an accountant: DO NOT DO IT! I love numbers. There are numbers in my head that really should never be there. My own bank account is under more evaluation by myself than it ever should be, and really, I'm the biggest tight wad you'll ever meet. Not only all of that, but tax season. Those two words should be enough. It is the most stressful time of year for those of us who have to file taxes. Imagine if you had to prepare them. Tax season is a rush of numbers and forms, but it really never ends. 

I'm still stuck in the back room trying to get everything the way it should be for the year, and it's May. Our first holiday is around the corner, and I'm not ready! Slow down year! There is some good news, though, ladies and gentlemen. I am done with QuickBooks classes! The torture is over. For now. Who knows what else the boss people will decide for me to learn next. I'm hoping nothing. Although, if technology doesn't start cooperating, there's a chance I may never make it out of this back room, and that's not good. The darn thermostat is bipolar. It's either hotter than a sauna or cold enough to freeze meat. 

Bingo this Saturday! For those of you who don't read this posting weekly, ahem everyone, Megan is back! She's been working quite regularly for us. Stop in and see her. She's nicer and younger than the rest of us. Give her a few weeks and I may have her corrupted.

The Letter 8

5/3/2017

I meant number 8, but at this point, I'm too lazy to change it. Sure got your attention though didn't it? Amanda, wrong?! That just can't be! She's amazing. Her decisions are absolute. She's genius!

Why thank you! Now that I have my boots on and my feet in a safe place, you can all continue your praise. But really, do you want to know what the number 8 is? Of course, you do! It's the number of people that have viewed my blog this past week. I'm not sure why that number is so low. I'm a real comedian, didn't you know? I could really be reading everything on the website wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm right. If this keeps up, I'm going to start giving away free stuff again that no one will receive because NO ONE READS THIS! 

And angst me is done. Whether or not anyone reads these, I'm still going to keep them going. I really have nothing better to do! If you're just getting into the camping groove this year, you're just now realizing that I'm in hiding in the office. I'm still here. No one fired me. I'm just doing to serious paperwork in the back office, as well as QuickBooks classes, which is no walk in the park. It's really just a way for my bosses to torture me. I must have angered them at some point. If you stop by the office and hear sobs, don't be frightened. It's just me in the back office. 

Bingo! Saturday! Be there! Guess what else is happening around the office area? You all get to see a familiar face. Megan is back!! She'll be back starting this Friday at 5:00, so don't forget to stop in and see her adorable little face. Also, we have a couple of new ice cream flavors that have arrived. You have to stop and try the new Cappuccino Crunch. Or don't. That just means more for me. Coffee and ice cream are my favorite things. Coffee flavored ice cream. I knew Heaven was real. 

Well, that's all folks. I have work to pretend to do!

Happy Camping!
