Charlie’s latest finders
Congrats to Ellie and Kacey for finding Charlie.
Rainy Day Picnic
Even the rain won’t stop our weekly picnic. 55 people enjoyed Sloppy Joes and lots of good food inside our Rec Building.
Staying dry on a rainy day.
One of our guests found his bear hat in town. It hasn't left his head all week. 🙂
Fishing guide seminars
Our fishing seminars are back for a second year. Tonight 23 people enjoyed getting tips from Mike Errington.
All ages enjoyed the seminar.
Charlie’s been active
Charlie’s been active and I haven’t gotten his picture up lately. I know there will be kids looking for their picture…so here they are.
Niko and Lexi had fun looking for Charlie. They hid him in a great spot. It took the kids the following week awhile to find him.
It took several clues, but Hannah and Emily finally found Charlie where Niko and Lexi had hidden him.
Rachel found Charlie a couple of times this last week. Way to go Rachel!
Kaylee and Derek had fun with Charlie too. Kaylee would hide him, then Rachel would find him and hide him. Back and forth it went all week.
Great wildlife at White Birch Village
There’s always opportunities to see wildlife at White Birch Village.
Snapping turtle along the shoreline
Watching the hummingbirds is always fascinating.

Life cycle of the Dragonfly
The dragonflies are hatching today. The shoreline and dock at Hideaway are full with dragonflies in different stages of hatching.
The nymph stage. The dragonfly nymph will attach to anything near the water to begin its transformation.

Almost ready to fly away.

John taking a rest
The raft went in the water today, so John decided it was a good opportunity to take a rest.

Windy, windy night!
Last night the winds picked up and blew and blew and blew! By 2 AM the power was out and didn’t come on for 12 hours. Thankfully only two units were booked so we were able to help them out and let them put their food in our freezer….running off the generator. It’s amazing what nature can do…take a look at the picture!
The top of a birch tree came down and planted itself in the ground.
Charlie begins his 2nd year in hiding
How many places will Charlie find to hide this year? It’s opening weekend and Charlie has already found 3 places to hide. No more kids arrive until the 4th of June so he may stay in his hiding place for a while.
Congratulations to Annika for being the first person to find Charlie in 2011. She drove all the from New York to find Charlie.
Parker and Brenden had fun searching for Charlie.
Time for Planting
It has finally warmed up enough to start planting flowers around the resort, at least the temperatures during the day. With the temperature dipping down to a chilly 27 on Thursday night we have already begun covering the flowers that were planted. Hopefully that is the last frost night until fall. The geraniums are all in place, now to begin planting the 65 flats of annuals.
John bought a new trailer for his golf cart. Helps in hauling the flowers and many other things.
