The kids that have been here all week that I thought might be Mennonite turn out to be Holiness. I’m glad they aren’t Mennonite because yesterday the boys broke Mark’s jousting pole in front of several Workamper witnesses. Mark built that left-handed, so he was pretty upset. It’s fixable, but he’s waiting till just before the jousting tournament today to put it back out. Continue reading

When I spoke with Jamey yesterday, he said he’d like to see more pictures of Marval. I had mentioned last night that pictures are posted on Marval’s Facebook page, but then I got to looking at their page and it doesn’t look like they’ve posted new pictures since March 25th, so I am dedicating this blog to showing pictures from around the park.

This morning was the start of Sunday morning breakfasts for the season at Marval, and it’s the only weekend when moms get to eat free with a paying family member, so Mark and I headed over so we could have breakfast at 7:30 before starting work at 8:00.

It was a filling breakfast, and so nice not to have to fix breakfast and do dishes! Continue reading

I love everyone I work with here. We all tease each other, like this morning when Mark pulled me out on the road in front of the workers who were driving up the hill to start the day. (We always walk up, so we’re a little slower.) The driver behind us laughed and waved when I finally pulled Mark to the side of the road. Continue reading
I was too tired and sore to write last night. Linda and I were assigned to give a thorough cleaning to the Activity Center and the Arcade. Mark worked with the Maintenance crew. Continue reading
Rather than putting Linda in Housekeeping this afternoon, they asked Mark to work with the Maintenance crew because they had to lift one of the cabins four inches. So while he was working with the men, Linda got to stay and help me get set up for next weekend. Continue reading
