Well we do need it – but this is enough now!  There is a mini river flowing towards the Thames River From Valleyview! Stop!  Mother Nature – turn off the taps!

This week has gone quickly as usual.  I’m not sure where all the paperwork comes from – but it seems never ending!

This week has consisted of gardening – getting my pots ready.  We’re having a great year for weeds too. 

Don and Cathy are in the process of building a new wheel chair ramp for the rec hall and then onto cabin 3 for the reno to turn it into a nightly or weekly rental.  Your work looks great guys!  Thanks!

Great news!  Mike Kenny is much better!  Great to have you home Mike!

The weather for the weekend is looking great!  Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Well another week has gone by!  It was a short one but still managed to over fill it!  Lets see – grass cutting, coke order, wood delivery, cleaning, garbages…..Life is going way too quickly!

Good news – our friend and long time customer Mike Kenny was released from the hospital!  Good to have you back Mike!

The campground is looking wonderful!  The grass is green – the sky blue and the birds….even a wild turkey this week!

Great news – Alf and Mabel had their moose “Hercules” delivered today. 

Hercules the Moose

He’s a beaut!

Tomorrow is another weekend!  Lots to do – our work is never done!

Well the weather channel didnt scare the hearty campers away.  Friday was beautiful, Saturday rain and then cold.

Sunday was beautiful although Mother Nature could have turned up the heat a bit!  The children spent most of Saturday afternoon doing crafts – making cards – bingo and playing ping-pong, air hockey and fooseball!

The weather channel called for frost – and did we ever get it! 

My hearty customers are sitting by their blazing camp fires as I’m writing this.

We had some non-paying customers arrived last nite – a racoon family!  They made themselves right at home at one campsite – even helped themselves to the chips left out on the picnic table!

Tomorrow is to be another sunny day!  Turn up the heat Mother Nature – please!

Well it wouldnt be Victoria Day Weekend without rain and cold weather.  Mother nature has yet to disappoint me!

The hearty campers are out in full force with their rain gear and winter coats – sitting my a roaring camp fire.

Hopefully the weather channel is in fact incorrect and we have a great weekend!

Happy Mothers Day from River View!  Hopefully the sun will shine this afternoon.  Very dull and cold right now (I’m afraid this is typical camping weather!)

My wish for all mothers is to have one day of peace and love – they all deserve this!

Well I’d like to know who turned off the heat!  What a weekend so far!  Rain, hail, lightning, thunder and temperature drops.  Typical May camping weather!  I wore a tee shirt this morning and a winter coat tonight.  We had our “welcome back” pot luck and had a good turnout with old and new customers.  Renovations to the rec hall are under way. With the expert work of Don & Cathy – we now have a new set of steps and railings into the store.  Safety first!

Next weekend is our “Victoria Day” long weekend.  Sure seems early this year.  I’m not sure I’m ready for this yet!

New Sign!

Well we made it through the first week – grass is cut and needs it again.  Just trying to keep it cut through rain drops.

Many people out this week – gardening and building decks.  Good to see the regulars hard at work and our new customers busy setting up!

Our “welcome back” pot luck is this Saturday – a great way to meet new customers.  Hopefully Mother Nature will work with us on this one!

Our new sign is up thanks to “Auto Trim”  – great job!

Well we made it through our first weekend at River View Campground . 

Great to see everyone – its amazing to see how much the children have grown – over 6 months!

The weather was typical camping weather – sun, clouds, rain, and the best – heat!

Still lots to do to get in full production!

Our River View WiFi is up and running – another additional feature of River View!

Back to work – too beautiful outside to be on the computer!

Well we finally made it to opening day!  Mother nature took control in the order of “rain” but the hardy true campers were out around the campfire tonite!

Old friends – new friends .

We look forward to many “good times” at River View Campground for the 2009 season!

Join us any time!

Well everyone – one more sleep until the official opening of River View Campground for the 2009 season!

We’re hoping these April showers will slow down by tomorrow as we’re aware everyone is very anxious to get the season under way!

We’re looking forward to a great 2009 season!
