And the home of the drowned rats... I meant brave. If it rains anymore though, I'm going to have to steal a kayak from the campground and paddle to work. Seriously, Mother Nature, the whole world gets it. You like water. We like our basements dry. A little bit of sunshine and a nice breeze would be wonderful to dry this all up so the world can celebrate our Independence with dry feet. At least, we want our feet dry before we dunk them in the water.

On a much happier note, someone told me that this weekend is the 4th of July!! So that means it's time to get out your reds, your pinks, your yellows, your whites, your blues, your blacks... Never mind. I'm being informed that you only need red, white, and blue. Okay then. Let's get festive people!!!

Friday kicks off with inflatable bouncers from 1:00-5:00. If you can't find them, you're blind. And now, we have a schedule change: The euchre tournament is not Friday. At 4:30 p.m., we will have the egg toss by the pond and pavilion. Bingo is at 7:00, and karaoke starts at 8:00; both are in the pavilion.

Saturday starts with crafts at 10:30. Kids: they're making ice cream. This may be your only chance to get ice cream for breakfast. 2:00 is the parade. The euchre tournament is at 2:00 in the pavilion. At 3:00 the Farmer Fire Department will be spraying water from the dry hydrant! The hog roast/potluck starts at 6:00. Bring a passing dish!! We're bringing the piggy. At 7:00, the Farmer Fire Department will be serving ice cream. (Side note: Farmer Fire Department ice cream is free will donation. Farmer Fire Department is the responding department if there are ever ANY problems that arise at our campground. They also alert us of any and all bad weather approaching the area. They also put on the Easter Egg hunt, and do so much more for this campground. Support them!!! We will be!)

8:00 is the start of a new band, Pete Schlegel. Google the man. You're going to love him. And last but not least, we're going to be shooting off some boom booms around 10:30 p.m. Do NOT be late.

Ladies and gents, this weekend is going to be crowded. Kids are going to be popping out from behind every blade of grass. Please, please, PLEASE, drive smart and follow the speed limit. Even some adults are to blame for sometimes not looking where they're going. Keep it slow, safe, and smart, or you will not like the consequences. Let's have a grand weekend!!!

P.S. boom booms is fireworks!! :) 

P.S.S. I don't think I forgot anything, but who knows. I might have.

This week's forecast is showers with a chance of never feeling dry. I just looked it up; today's humidity is 71%. That's just enough to assure everyone that even though they did shower this morning, they will never feel like they are clean. I carry a stick of deodorant in my purse (too much information?). But whatever you do, dear Lord head this warning: NEVER LEAVE THE DEODORANT IN THE GLOVE BOX IN YOUR CAR!!!!! You will regret it.

Okie dokie. All the grossness aside, we have got another fun filled weekend planned. Friday night starts off with Stick Horse Races at 7:30 in the pavilion, followed by the Flashlight lollipop hunt at 9:45. Saturday, it's the usual. Kid's crafts is at 10:30 in the pavilion. They will be making a firework painting. 2:00, the adults will be finishing up their wine bottle crafts. Bingo starts at 7:30. Don't be late for that.

I think that's everything. If not, too bad. You have to come into the office and get an activity schedule. How sad. If you come this weekend, you will not get to see me. I have a weekend off. I know that's very upsetting for all of you, but never fear, Lisa is here!! She's still evil, so be careful around her.

Have a fun and safe weekend, my little minions!! :)

I previously made the comment that I liked rain, along with everything that I liked doing in the rain. Well, after two weeks of non-stop rain, I'm done. I hate rain. It's not helping me sleep at night. It's humid. I can't breathe. I feel like I'm still not dry from the shower I took three days ago. My white dog got groomed Friday. She's brown now. The rain can just go away.

And it can go away  just in time for bingo Friday at 7:30. Saturday is the day. Matchbox car races start at 10. Crafts is the same time at 10:30. They're making some glitter goo. Why? Because Cherie is evil and wants everyone to be infected with the glitter.

Continuing! 4:30 is the start of the texture wine bottle craft for adults. It will be finished the following weekend. I really hope you have all been drinking wine lately. I know I have. 6:00 kicks off kid karaoke, followed shortly after at 8:00 by adult karaoke.

Now, I know there was some confusion, but Sunday June 21, 2015 IS Father's Day!! Do not forget those crazy, weird bbqing aprons and tools and such. This is just as important as Mother's Day. This is the day to celebrate the guy who, when asked, sends you to your Mother!! That's why your Dad is the guy. Do not forget to show him some appreciation!!

My Dad is getting a card, and maybe a meal out of me. Maybe I might give him a pat on the back and a "thanks for giving the world such a great gift: me." I mean really, besides me, he gave the world 2 more boys. Boys are gross.

Ok enough of that. Have fun this weekend kiddos. Behave. I know it's hard, but if I have to, then ya'll have to! :)

I like rain. I really do. I like splashing in puddles. I like the cool air it brings. I love me some thunder and lightning storms. I love listening to rain drop hit the roof of a lazy, rainy day. Rain gives me a reason to be lazy! What I don't like is so much rain that I can't be outside and enjoy the weather. Seriously spring, we get it. You're here. Message received. You can give us sunshine and rain free days now. Thanks.

So... with that said. Stop crying Mother Nature. It's really not that bad.

Friday, bring a candy bar and play some candy bar bingo at 7:30 in Cherie's house. It costs a candy bar, NOT money. Candy people. It costs candy to win candy. Saturday, at 9, kicks off the Antique Car & Tractor Show! If you are a camper, and if you own an antique vehicular contraption (car or tractor or bike or truck or whatever) then line it up between the pavilion and playground for everyone to enjoy. You can stand there and brag or just show it all off!!

10:30 we have normal crafts. Kiddos, you will be making a stepping stone. 5:30 is the potluck. Show up at the pavilion with a passing dish and your own tableware to enjoy! 7:30 is bingo.

Don't forget to drop off your recipes to us by June 29th!! We NEED 50. So chop chop you chefs. I'm hungry.

We have a bit of an Activity Schedule correction. June 14th is NOT Father's Day. I repeat, June 14th is not Father's Day. Do not screw up and bring him an early present. We, all of us in the office, screwed up because Cherie's father's birthday is that day, and we all just get confused. And, yeah. Forgive us.

Or don't. No sweat off my back. I'll just stick my tongue out at you and run away. Sue me.

No... please don't. I really don't have much money, but seriously, bingo, old cars, food. Get here. Have fun. Be merry. Don't get married, and do NOT do anything that I would do. Which is a lot, but just don't do it!! :) Happy  camping, campers!
