Good weekend weather is here to stay

Finally, our first beautiful weather weekend. Not only did it allow us to be outside for Bingo, with all 3 crowds of over 100 people, but it was nice to see shorts on someone other than myself. While Saturday was the nicest day, Sunday turned out much better than they were expecting. Despite splitting the opening series with the Indians, it was a tough weekend to be a Yankee fan. The best comment I heard was "However much WB Mason may have paid for that billboard in right field wasn't enough", as virtually every homerun was over that sign...including Jorge's controversial game winner on Sunday. The new Stadium looks nice, but not sure why you would put seats right up to the fence...there will be many more questionable interference calls with that configuration. Oh well, back to more pertinent matters. Saturday was a very busy day for the horses, as we had many trail riders and over 50 kids for the ponies. Or should I say 49 kids and one "husky" teenager...my back is still a little sore from that one. I am definitely not in mid-season shape for pony ride lifting. Speaking of shape, a "hats off" to big Mike, one of our long-term campers whose training regimen has seen him drop over 60 pounds. Saw him jogging yesterday morning, with the added weight of a cast on one arm. Congrats on your efforts. The long term forecast for this coming weekend is excellent once again, although the next couple of days are rather iffy. Speaking of next weekend, first meeting of the season between the Yanks and Sox. Brittany from the reservation desk is going to Friday night's game. I hope Wang can lower his ERA under 10 before the all-star break (although that may require 7 shut-outs). Last note...sorry to any long term campers who brought their golf cart up for annual inspection on Saturday. I expect to have someone starting this coming Saturday afternoon--just make sure you bring a copy of your insurance policy indicating liability coverage for the cart.

  2. We stayed this weekend in the campground like we have for many seasons in the past and always used to enjoy an ice cream from the creamery but we were so suprised with such increase. We got a cone and a milkshake and it totaled over 10 dollars. It is a little pricey. From now on we will think twice about the ice cream at the stand and instead drive to Buttonwoods farms just down the road. Just wanted to let you know about are dissapointment.

  3. thanks for the input. while we are offering an expanded menu on the grill side, including a variety of seafood dishes, the creamery side remains predominantly the same. many of our campers enjoy visiting the fine folks at Buttonwoods (including my wife and I on our way home at the end of the weekend), and they offer a great variety of flavors. however, if comparing prices, a single scoop cone at SP is $1.95, and it is $3.95 at BW. Our medium cones and large cones are also priced considerably less, and a milkshake at SP is $4.95, while a milkshake at BW is $5.90.
