              MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND A SMASHING HIT. The weather was great, the families were terrific, the water was fairly warm (so the kids say).  All and all a great weekend of fun at Parks Pond.  Friday night our wagon ride was followed by an ice cream social.  Saturday we had fun doing planting flowers, painting plant pokes, bead art and making paper lilies.  After lunch we played a good game of kickball on the court. Sunday morning we cooked up a wonderful breakfast for all to enjoy and in the afternoon Horseshoes were thrown, as well as cribbage boards were pegged.  Congrats to Nick & Matt on winning the air hockey tournament this year.  The kids were sad to be going home Monday morning and the parents and grandparents were exhausted. A great time was had by all.

CARNIVAL & FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND:

The weather couldn't have been better, hot, sunny, perfect for camping and playing with all our friends.  Friday night everyone wanted a wagon ride and we topped it off with 21 kids trying to blow the biggest bubble. Congratulations to Lucas for blowing one 8.5 inches (how many pieces of gum did it take???)  Saturday more fun with decorating cupcakes (I made 50 and ran out), face painting, and painting with nature(pine cones, sticks, tassels, rocks, flowers).  In the afternoon we started off with a watermelon eatin contest, followed by the infamous Pie in the face (the line was longer to receive than throw LOL), and a terrific waterslide with water from the pond, really warm- the line was almost all the way down the court. Lots of sunburnt folks, tired, happy campers.  Sunday was a real washout with the "get the dad's waterfight"  Kids RULE, Dad's Drool once again. 

 Thanks for playing in our neighborhood.

  Ready for our annual 4th of July PARADE.... everyone loves a parade

   FREEDOM......

4TH OF JULY weekend was great fun. Friday started our weekend with a wagon ride and strawberry shortcake.  Saturday we all gathered to decorate for our annual parade around the campground, it was very HOT so then we cooled off with the infamous waterslide.  Fun was had by all. Everyone was thoroughly tired by the end of this super fun weekend. 

Waiting to see Santa and Mrs.Claus, what a special treat for our neighborhood.

Tristan was some proud of this fish. Great Job!!!

Christmas in July, always full of wonderful memories here at parks pond.  Friday night was a wagon ride followed by a scavenger hunt, everyone joined in. Saturday we enjoyed making carolers, bell bracelets, and decorating gingerbread boys and girls. then the waterslide came out, then we were blessed with Santa and Mrs. Claus stopping by with candycanes and goodies.  Thanks to all who decorated their sites, our judges officially picked Lot B 12, Lots 1 & 2, and Lots 45A & 45.  Presents were gotten by all our great kids followed by our annual Christmas morning breakfast. What a wonderful group of fun folks we have in our neighborhood.
