WORKING ON SLEEPERS GETTING THEIR DEEP CLEANING

GUYS HAVE BEEN GETTING EQUIPMENT IN THE SHOP AND GETTING READY FOR ICE SEASON  DOZER, GEO’s, TRANSPORTERS!

 

Closing out summer and getting winter ready!!

Will start deep cleaning of all 11 sleepers this week!! They are all lined up and calling my name!! Winter camping guests are moving into their winter campsite. Summer is closing up.

Pergola’s will be staying on the shoreline this winter and they too are all tucked in for the winter!!

DVD rotation time. We take the “toy box” out of every sleeper, take out every DVD and rotate them so no one gets the same movies this ice season. Except of course Grumpy Old Man 1 and 2!!!! All the playing cards are counted and replaced if needed. Dice are counted and replaced, new crayons, books, cribbage board is checked for the pegs with a spare set

We are stocked up and ready to replace what is missing. You know how that bounce on the fish house floor always has a “hole in one”!

Toy boxes ready for another ice season!!

Garden hoses, sprayers, sparklers, extra solar lights all cleaned up and packed away ready for next summer!!!

 

Winter bring it on! 

We have summer packed away!!  Thank you each and every one of you that blessed us this past summer!!
