So, we are ending our 6th week as work campers here at WCR, and we have had an amazing time here. The owners, and all of the people we have met here, have given us a whole new perspective on this life we are living. Our daily responsibilities have been: checking guests in, cutting the grass, trash pickup, office paperwork, taking reservations on the phone, etc…

Here’s a shot of V working in the office.

We have also had fun going on the WCR wagon ride, and here are a few shots of some of our new friends from downstate Michigan, and Don the owner of this 1952 John Deere. The kids were able to spend a little time with these guys, and got a few art lessons from them, as well as encouragement for the future. We look forward to meeting up again with them all next year.

The girls have been catching frogs like crazy, we thought that we had been revisited by the plague. The are gentle with the frogs, and have a catch and release program in place. Besides, those frog legs aren’t big enough to get a meal out of (not that we would eat them).

And check out this shot…

Overall, we have had one of the most amazing summers, despite any of our other circumstances. Silas summed it up one night very well. “If we hadn’t come up here to Wild Cherry Resort… we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to learn all the things we have, or meet the people we have.”

We are thankful for the many nights we have been able to sit out under the stars with a fire burning hot… our whole family together and enjoying eachother. What great memories we have made.

Finally, here I am trying to remember what I came outside for. Never mind me, take a look at the resort beyond me. What a great place!

We will be here at WCR until the first of October, and aren’t quite sure where we are going to end up for the winter. So be sure to stay tuned for our next adventure, as well as updates on the remainder of our stay here.
