Icky, Rainy Day at the Park

Posted by Cynthia

Today it basically rained all day. We are far enough from the coast that the hurricane did not really affect us here, but close enough to have a rainy, cold (in the 70’s) day. Everything is wet so the humidity was ridiculous, especially during the times that the sun was shining. We had the slowest snack bar day so far, but the weather kept people inside. There are still a good number of people here, but if the pool isn’t busy, the snack bar isn’t busy.

We did have a girl (maybe around six or seven years old) get her arm stuck in one of the candy machines in the game room. One of the kids knocked on the kitchen door and I went out to see what happened. She was stuck all the way to her shoulder and was laying on the floor. One of the other kids went over to the office to get someone with a key and someone else went to get the girls Mom from their campsite. With the help of the Mom, they got her out, and she was fine–just shook up a bit. Good times. :)

I was able to get some pictures posted on my last two entries. Yesterday of the rainstorm, and the day before of some sunsets and of the concrete slab that will be the new office. I guess they are only working on the new building two days a week until the end of summer, so we may not see much of a building by the time we leave.

We Got Some Rain–July 23, 2008

Water Slide Before the Storm July 23 Rain Storm July 23 Rain Storm II 

We were at the snack bar when the rain started. I was actually outside taking some pictures of the water slide in use when one of the work campers started making everyone leave the pool. Seconds later, the rains came. And the wind was strong enough to almost blow our table umbrellas over. I took a bunch of pictures of the storm from the porch of the snack bar. The storm didn’t really last long, but it stayed cloudy and icky the rest of the evening, so they never did reopen the pool. We are supposed to have rain all day tomorrow as well. Hopefully the weather won’t send a bunch of campers home early, or change their plans for the weekend. It could be a boring weekend in the snack bar if they do…

p.s. How do you like the new layout for the website? Kevin has been working on changing it for awhile. I like it, but I am missing the picture of my cat at the top. He said he will add one–I just have to pick out one that will work.
