Anyone looking for pics of our merchandise??

Our merchandise is still on the blog. Look to the left, and you will see 'archives.' I believe all the pictures of the merchandise is under June 2007 archives!!

The blog only can hold so many posts, and then the old posts go to the archive section on the blog in case any of you want to see past posts.

Thanks enjoy!!

Lonely Lola


Lola says she is tired and needs to catch up her beauty rest. She says,"Mike, stop that building it makes me irritable."

Updated Games


Jeff has updated the foose ball game by adding new people. He also updated the bumper pool as well. Looks good Jeff!!

Under Construction




The new extension is coming along quite well. Mike tore a wall down, and it filled the gift shop with loads of dust!! Things got back up and running later in the day. Dianne and Natalie cleaned the gift shop and re- arranged the merchandise for a new look. All our guests in August will see this project come to a close. It is exciting.
