We’re going to decorate bikes and have a parade,

And we’re going to do arts and crafts, and waterballoon games, and jewelry making, and story time, as well as egg games and watermelon seed spitting!

Then of course we’ll wave all our flags on the hayride around the park.

But just because Maggie and Debbie go back to school, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun in the fall.  The boats will still be in the lake for a couple weeks, and there’s always a game of manhunt out front of the store.  And no matter when you go camping, you always roast marshmallows!

Ohhhhh I can’t wait!  We’re going to follow the clues to find the Treasure Chest of Poland Spring.  But before we do that, we have to prepare ourselves.

We gotta learn how to lasso…

And targeting any enemies…

And running away from those enemies…

THEN we’ll be ready to find our treasure!  And then after that is Labor Day weekend, and then … and then after that … is … is …

AH!  Labor Day Weekend!  Do you know what that means?  Thatmeansitsthelastweekendforrecwhichmeansthesummerisoverandallthecampersaregunnagohome!

You just gotta to come for Labor Day Weekend, so we can ride the hayride one more time, and play games together, and you HAVE to walk the parade.

We’ve gotta make sure it’s LOTS of fun!

What a cool Halloween Weekend!  I mean, there was sooo much stuff to do, and it was all Halloween-ish!   I swear, even the bubbles at bubble play looked ghostly!

On Friday, some of my little camping buddies met with Debbie to take a nature walk.  They gathered all kinds of sticks, bark, pine cones and other nature things to make Lake Monsters!   Check these out!

On Saturday morning the kids made jack-o-lanterns for the campers who wanted to give out candy.  Whenever anyone asked for a site marker, Tami sent them to the “pumpkin patch”.

I picked this one.  What do you think?

Of course, all we could think about was trick or treating and the costume party and the haunted house . . . but no matter how many times I asked Alex and Maggie . . .

they wouldn’t start it any earlier!

The little campers and I filled our time with the waterballoon slingshot, halloween games, horseshoes, jewelry making, a scavenger hunt, and a watermelon eating contest!

Finally, it was time to trick or treat.  Of course, Tami makes us all meet at the office for a group photo . . .

and the ruuuuuuuules.   Sheesh.  Trick or treating rules?  Who ever heard of such a thing?

But we had the best time going site to site

Getting candy . . .

lots and lots and lots of candy.

And then, we were invited to a party by the LAKE!   How cool is that?

I got lots of kisses . . .

and played a bunch of games for prizes!

Evan with the bean bag toss

Maggie with Fred for the lake ring toss

Kate with the Tick Tack Toe Game

Debbie and Ernie ran Pumpkin Head Dart Game

Joanne and Terry served pretzels with frosting and punch

Sam ran Yolf

and Caitlin ran the spider ring toss

Sooooo many of my friends dressed up too!

and then there was the haunted house.

I don’t have pictures of that for you.  Partly because David is very, very secretive about his house.

But mostly because Tami is afraid of it.  Once again, she hid in the office; all the windows closed . . . and the doors . . . listening as her campers screamed their way through the house.  How silly is that?  Alex, who monitored the front door, said even a very, very brave three year old went through.

That Tami. She’s such a scaredy cat.

And you know the very best thing about Halloween One?

I get to do it all again this weekend at Halloween TOOO!

We’ve been having such a good time!  Debbie comes up with all kinds of fun ideas, like dressing up as mummies…

And trying Witch’s Stu…

And awesome games to play at the Halloween Party…

And once Halloween is all done, we’ll start activities for Adventurer Weekend!

Is that theme music I hear…

And after that?  More Halloween!

I can’t wait for a WHOLE WEEK of Halloween!  There’s trick-or-treating, and a Halloween party, and even a haunted house!  But I think I’d rather go in with Debbie, she makes sure all the monsters are gone…

Last year, we had a great time dressing up.  And we made site markers for the people who wanted to hand out candy, and you should have seen how many candy bars we had for Candy Bar Bingo!  Also, Debbie helped us make boats and try them in the lake!

Oh, geez!  I gotta start working on my costume!

We’re the Poland Spring Campground Justice League, and you don’t want to tangle with us!

Why??

Because we can run faster than a speeding bullet . . .

Jump higher than the tallest building . . .

Make our own Super Hero costumes to hide our identity . . .

Mask making . . . with Mom's help. She's the only one you can trust your secret identity with

Cape making

We can shoot water balloons at evil villains . . .

and then tie them up with toilet paper!

Poor Cat Woman

Those villains were no match for us!  Not when you have super heroes like these hanging around the campground all day . . .

Spiderman has an admirer

BatGirl found her batman!

Spidey and some of his favorite Superheros . . . is that a villain in the middle?

Super Girl gives the Joker a "talking to"

That's a pretty amazing group of Superwomen!

There were superheros at horseshoes . . . superheros at the scavenger hunt . . . and superheros at the hayride too!

Tami wants to make a BIG, BIG shout-out to all the amazing helpers  .  . .

Bryant, Nancy, Mighty M, Debbie, Tami, Alex and Maggie

Our Super Villains who let the Justice League pelt them with waterballoons

We even got David to dress up!

I cleverly hid my secret identity behind a cape and mask to arrive as

Dah ~ Da ~DA!

Mighty Moose

Do you think anyone knew it was me???

The line is always long, ’cause they’re just so good!

All the games are tons of fun, too, like the darts and the jumping bean game, and then there are the pinatas! Those are always lots of fun!

I can’t wait to try to whack them! Did you know there’s candy inside?

The weekend after this one is Medieval Weekend. This year, the Steelgraves are coming again with their amazing magic show! They always do an amazing job, and they’re really funny, too!

I can’t wait to see what they do this year!

Last year, we had Bat Girl, Robin, and Wonder Woman all joined us, as well as all kinds of other super heroes who wanted to practice their super abilities! We had tons of fun!

And then the super villains appeared!

But don’t worry – they were easily defeated by our awesome powers!

After all of that hard work – we deserve a fiesta! Which is exactly what we’ll be doing the weekend after. Fiesta weekend is a little more than a week away, and that’s one we always have fun at! For Saturday night, we pull out our Sombreros and have a party!

We’ll play all kinds of great games, eat great food, and even pull out the bouncy house! Maybe this year I’ll get a chance to sneak inside!

We play all kinds of fun games, like the cup cake walk and pin the nose on Rudolph!

And at the end Santa hands out presents! Last year I got an awesome book called Hot Rod Hamster by Cyndi Lord!

I can’t wait to see what I get this year!

Once we pack up all the Christmas decorations, we’ll be getting ready for Superhero Weekend! You know what that means, don’t you?

Maxwell by day, and Mighty Moose for the hayride!
