Memorial Weekend


Another Memorial Weekend of camping has come and gone, and it was another great one! For as long as I can remember, and before I even existed, my family has gone camping every Memorial Weekend at Whipporwill. This year was no different. About 2 or 3 years ago, the campground went under new management. Normally, new management would mean lots of change. In this case, the change was minor, but good. They took out the mini golf course, which was sad, but course was really crappy and overgrown with weeds. There wasn't much hope for it. In place of the mini golf course, they put up a new playground. They also redid the lake, so it's actually swimmable again. Starting this year, they have a new drain for the lake. It is drained, refilled, and chemically treated every week. No more icky weeds and slime! :) Due to the 95+ degree weather, we spent some time in the lake. There was also lots of time spent in the shade. We made yummy food, like cobbler, cinnamon rolls, and mini donuts. There was also bean bags, testie toss, and (new this year) washers. It was a great weekend of fun, fire, and relaxation.
