Ice Cream Party #2

I scream . . .

the campers tumble and SCREAM . . .

WE ALL SCREAM . . .

For ICE CREAM!

What a great turn out!  The campers brought lots of fun toppings to share

and we found two  hard working  ice cream scoopers

so everyone could make their own sundaes

Tami told me that lots of kids showed off the tattoos they’d gotten while hanging with me Saturday afternoon

Can you see the dragon on his arm??   It’s a little worn off, but Bryant did a grrrrrrr-eat job!  Then again, he should. ‘Cause he does face painting eeee-very Monday afternoon, rain or shine.  I get to hang out with all my little campers then too!

OOooo!  I just peeked at this weekend’s schedule!

Guess what?

C’mon, guess!

We’re having candy bar bingo tomorrow night!!!

And a chicken BBQ Saturday night .. .

Dad eats free . . .

Camping, bouncing and ice cream!

Maxx here!

Do you see that bouncy house behind me??  Bryant set it up for us again this weekend!

My friends had a great time bouncing around.  I got into line too,

But Bryant said, “No moose allowed, Maxx!”

Aw, shucks.  I never get to do the fun stuff.

Did you know we had an ice cream party too? When Tami and David went to open the rec hall, they saw these ice cream lovers  camped outside the door with their toppings

Before you could say “Ice Cream is the bestest treat ever!”  The line grew thiiiiiiiiiis big

and then some!  At one point, it snaked all the way along three walls.

The Official Scoopers handed out ice cream for half an hour straight!!

Thanks you two!!

My little buddies brought lots of great toppings; Teddy Grahams, gummie bears, chocolate and strawberry sauces, cherries, whipped cream, M & M’s and my personal favorite, caramel  . . .  YUM!

Also on the schedule this weekend was Arts and Crafts, soccer, ceramics, waterballoon games and the movie Bedtime Stories.

I can’t wait for this weekend!  We’re setting up the Bouncy House again.  Shhhhhh – don’t tell, but I have a plan to get inside and do some bouncing!

Hmmmmm . . .

No one in the pool . . .

playground’s empty too!

Where was everyone?

At the ice cream party!!

making sundaes . . .

and having fun!

Even this little guy got a taste . . .

Ice Cream Party

One of our favorite Poland Spring Campground activities is our Ice Cream parties.

Each family is “charged” one topping, and they’re all laid out smörgåsbord style.

Chocolate sauce, butterscotch, bananas, crumbled oreos and chocolate chip cookies, M & M’s, strawberries, whipped creme, spice drops, chocolate covered pretzels  . . . I’m always amazed by how creative each family can be!

Then Dave begins scooping for a line with no end . . .

he’s a little worried there won’t be any toppings left for him!

But he didn’t have to be, as these campers will tell you

This coming weekend . . . a spaghetti supper, horse drawn hayrides, basketball, arts and crafts, horseshoes and Kids Games!
