Swan Lake

We have a pair of Swans and their babies on the lake. The other day they came up by the shore and we got close enough to get these great pictures. They are not moose but they are pretty great and now you know why they call it Swan Lake.

Lazy day

We do get time off and here is Dennis & Jack enjoying their time off by enjoying my swing. Jack has gotten really big but still thinks he can sit in the swing or on Dennis lap in the chair inside the Motor Home.

Sand art

A couple of weeks ago one of our guest and his granddaughter created these sand art on the beach. The grandkids were here for a visit and really liked the gator and the turtle.

Memorial weekend

Memorial weekend was full and it had rained for several days so we had to be creative and put tents where it was dryer. Everyone had a good time and most did not seem to worry about the rain. The docks are looking great and everyone is enjoying them.

Baltimore Orioles

We have Baltimore Oriole's in the campground and our co worker gave us this feeder. I had not seen a Oriole in years and really enjoy watching them at the feeder.

Pontoon boat

First I must say I am sorry for not posting anything for so long. We have been busy. We are enjoying Giles campground so very much and it is great to be on this beautiful lake that Dennis went out and purchase a pontoon boat. We have been out several times and the grandkids are really enjoying it.

The summer begins

We arrived in Allegan on April 21st and begin our new jobs with Giles Campground. The experience began with us getting stuck trying to get into to our new site but as you all know about Dennis we got it in and settled for the summer. The reason we got stuck was because it had been raining and continued to rain for another week to 10 days after we arrived. But we have begun our jobs and as you can see the big project was to get the docks put together and into the water. These are brand new docks and it was a learning process for all of us involved. David our son came out to help and of course Dennis and our co-manager Steve (whom we will work with all summer), also included was Art (the owner and his brother Richard). We may have started out not know how these docks went together but we got them there and into the water. It is a beautiful lake (Swan Lake) and it is a beautiful campground. It is well keep up and clean and I think this is going to be a GREAT summer. Will do my best to keep the blog up and lots of pictures. P.S. Jack loves it here too.
