We went for a walk around the park in the morning and out both of the cabin roads to have a look at some of the properties.
These two "cabins" are pretty fancy!
There are around 80 cabins on the park property. Some of them really are cabins and would sell for about $80k, others are full size houses worth upwards of $400k! Funny thing, is that you don't even own the property, only the house that is on the property. The cabin owners pay an annual lease fee to the park.
Many of the cabin owners have pulled in their docks for the season.
We've been having a real stretch of great weather. Sunny and 28C (82F) yesterday, and they're calling for 29C (84F) today which is close to a record high for this area at this time of year. Still, even with the great weather the campground is pretty much empty. Supposed to cool off to the seasonal highs of around 21C (70F) but still sunny this weekend, so we'll see if that brings any late season campers out.
Had a great happy hour with our friends and then we each made a dinner meal and shared it at the picnic table.
Dwayne, Agnes, Kevin, Ruth, Nancy. This is from their camera with Doug taking the photo.
Doug and Nancy still had a bottle of our favourite tequila and brought it along with them! We had a toast!
Lindsey sent us a camera phone pic of our 6 day old granddaughter Sadie! Sleeping peacefully!
It's nice seeing you together. We can hear the laughter from here!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet picture of Sadie.
I wouldn't be surprised, Paula and Jerry there sure was lots of it. We had a great time, it was just what we needed to help tide us over until we are finished up here for the season.
DeleteAh, a beautiful little lady she is! :c)
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul and Marti, we can't wait to meet her in person.
DeleteSadie is such a little doll! I'm afraid Agnes is going to pop you on the head when she sees that you posted that photo of her eating! LOL! Looks like you all are having a great time! Grace (in Tucson)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't blame her if she did bop us over the head. I never even noticed that in the picture and for the life of me I can't figure out what it is that she is eating, we didn't have anything at the table that looked like that. Sure hope she doesn't end up hating us for it, lol!
DeleteSadie is precious - love her little smile! That was so nice that your visitors shared their Happy Hour stash with you. Like they say "and a good time was had by all!"
ReplyDeleteLindsey calls that smile a sleep smile and apparently she does this a lot, I guess she is a pretty happy little baby.
DeleteWe are lucky to have such great friends, everywhere we go it seems. ;)
I would love to be with you all together and have fun like we used to have at HC in Mexico. Please say greetings to Doug and Nancy.
ReplyDeleteYour Sadie is such a cute little girl.
Wish you would have been able to join us too, Renate!
DeleteCongratulations to you and your family, on your new family addition! She's beautiful! Blessings, Lynn
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynn!
DeleteRuth, you look fantastic! The baby looks very happy, almost smiling! She must have been dreaming about something.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chris! Lindsey calls these smiles, sleep smiles. She seems to be a very content little girl and she shows it. :)
DeleteThat is a precious little photo of your Sadie.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of special times with your friends. You all look like you don't have a care in the world!

Thank you Sft, she is a precious little thing for sure.
DeleteAt that point in time we didn't have a care in the world, we all just wanted to enjoy each other's company and live in the moment.
Oh i meant to say I posted my blog past for the CAPTURE THE COLOUR COMPETITION today. I took AGES choosing the photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up.

Good luck with the competition, your photos look great, love the one looking down on the elephants from the airplane.
DeleteSadie looks to have reddish hair???
ReplyDeleteSo glad you cab finally let your hair down and just relax. Enjoy the beauty of nature.
I don't think so Contessa, Lindsey said it looks like the colour hers was in the pictures of when she was a baby so that would have been a sort of browny kind of colour, even though she ended up being blonde by the time she was a year old.
DeleteYes, it has been nice to be able to relax just a little bit. Hoping to get out in the canoe again before we leave.
We can't thank you, Kevin and Ruth, enough for the fun! Like always, you made us feel so welcome and it was SO good to see you guys.
ReplyDeleteTravel safe through this fine world and we look forward to seeing you, somewhere in Mexico!
Great jacket, Ruth!
It should be us thanking you and Doug. You brought Kevin beer and shared wine and tequila with us, we thought we had died and gone to heaven! :)
DeleteWe are so glad that you came to visit and also Dwayne and Agnes, it was so fun to get together with all of you and just relax and enjoy ourselves. Take care on your drive back home and enjoy visiting your relatives along the way.
We look forward to seeing you both again in the future too.
