Our second annual goofy golf tournament was again – a great success!  Thanks to Paul and Margaret for organizing and thanks to everyone who set up a “hole” on their lot!  Lots of imagination here!

Our second annual fish fry was also a great success! Thanks to Rusty and Cindy for the majority of the work – and special thanks to Bob, Jocelyne, Jonathan and Laura!  Couldnt do it without you guys!

Enjoy the heat everyone – its not here forever!

We welcomed the Canadian Motorcycle Cruisers – London Chapter to the campground this weekend.  I’m afraid all their plans didnt go through but they seemed to be able to weather the rain fairly well!  Thank you guys – we enjoyed your visit to River View.

We also had karoake Saturday with the usual great voices!  Thanks to Ron, Mike, Tammy, Cody, Tim and Raili for your entertainment.   Special mention to ” Bobbett” and her dark locks! 

Thanks to the kids that helped me set up the rec hall and clean it up the next day!  – Laura, Katie, Kyle, Nathan and Chris – I always appreciate your help.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the next weekend!  Come on Mother Nature!  Give us a break!

We want to send out an extra thank you to Santa, Laura for all her work and Laura’s helpers – Kyle and Katie!

Santa even made a return performance later in the day – for one great little boy who missed Santa earlier in the day!

Santa even took the time to visit the lawn dart tournament and visit with a couple especially good girls – Margaret and Kerrie!

Thanks again Santa! See you next year!

Santa with Margaret & Kerrie!

Cabin 3 Rental

Cabin 3 Rental

What a great week weather wise!  Mid 20′s  – sunny – mild breeze – what more could we ask for! 

The work on Cabin 3 is now complete!  Many thanks to Don & Cathy, Sharon and a special thanks to Monte & Liz for the exterior paint job!  Looks great guys!  Thanks!

The kids are well into their holidays – and the pool is well used. 

This coming weekend is “Christmas in July”  Look out Santa – we have a bunch of good kids waiting for the hay ride!

Everyone took full advantage of the weather – the pool was full – bocce ball – crocket – cards – bbq etc…..

I think everyone really appreciated today after the weeks of rain!

Thanks to Don & Cathy – cabin 3 is almost completed!  I’m sure they are sick of the reno!

Our thoughts and prayers went to the family of Scott and Carol Irwin for the loss of Scotts brother this week.

Thanks again Mother Nature!

The Pool is Open for Business!

Duke - The Mascot

Well we started out having great weather!  Friday and Saturday were beautiful.  Hot days – cooler nights with the stars shining.  Then Sunday  – Mother Nature decided to take charge and rain again…  Sunday afternoon so far has been great!  We had some past campers come back  for the weekend.  They couldnt believe the changes!  We’ve come a long way!

Lawn dart tournament on Saturday was great fun!  We’re still trying to get the pool open.  Its always a fight to get it clear and ready for everyone!   Hopefully by Tuesday!

Well wishes to Nickla – surgery again on Friday!  We’ll keep our fingers crossed for you!  Get well wishes to Norm – banged up in an accident at work!  Take care of yourself Norm!

The official Canada Day holiday is Wednesday July 1st.  Some people had Friday off,  some Monday and the rest Wednesday.  It makes for a really long weekend for us.

Happy Canada Day Everyone!

Gracie

Rain – rain – go away!  I think we’ve had enough.  Mother Nature sure takes charge!  The positive side of all this is the beautiful flowers and the trees are looking great! I finally have small pockets of shade in my back yard from my new trees from three years ago!

We found a ophaned fawn this past weekend and we passed her onto to the authorites for her safe keeping.  I only had her “Gracie” for one night – but I fell in love!  They are so gentle.

Bless you Mother Nature!

Doves

Well – this is the first weekend in a long time – with no rain!  Hopefully I havent put a curse on the weekend.

Lots done this weekend!  Don and Cathy have made great progress on cabin 3 – our second cabin to be turned into weekend or weekly rentals! 

Tim James was wonderful and took his first Saturday off in weeks and installed our new screen/projector and Wii game. 

Our first bowling tournament is tonight! 

My baby doves are almost ready to leave me.  They have been great company for me and I’ve watched them daily grow!  Time moves on….

Great night for a campfire – Laura will be having a marshmallow roast and story time tonight with the children – while the adults compete in our bowling tournament.

I have never seen a dove nest and the photo of this one and her new youngsters is beautiful.  Mom took over a robins nest and she never moves off the nest!  I assume its “Daddy” that brings her meals!

What a beautiful time of year!  Enjoy everyone!

Nature at its Best!

What a great weekend!  Sunny during the day – cool, clear nites – great for camp fires and spending time with good friends!

Lots of activities – fishing, ATV’ing , ladder ball and hiking.  Everyone is cutting their grass, adding flowers to their gardens and walking their dogs.  Life is good!

The children are looking forward to ending their school year soon and spending the sunny summer days at River View!
