Camping Trip Maiden Voyage Part 1 "The Fun Part!"

We'll we're back. It seemed to go by quickly. Probably because it was a pretty quick trip. We wanted to stay pretty close as it was our first trip in the RV so we went to a park down south called Long Point Park. It's right on the river and had large spacious sites.
We learned quite a few things about RVing, but that will be tomorrows post.
I'll just give you some highlights of our trip through pictures. Cause everyone likes pictures better than a lot of wordiness!

Here's my hubby holding our site number tag to put on our RV! Ain't he cute?

Site #57 was sweet!


Hubby getting right to work setting up the poles to fish!

    And the boys quickly learning the ropes!


We had a stalker, trying to see if we caught anything.
Sorry Mr. Stork. Nothing for you.



My husband has this neat skim net that he dredges along the river bottom, and it ends up catching a whole lot of things. Including these little sea horses. Among those he caught crabs, needlefish, baby flounder, pinfish, and a whole mess of shrimp (that the racoons ate that night out of the bate bucket). It was so cool for the kids to get to touch all those things. Yes, we put them all back. We'll minus the shrimp!

Our first night in the camper. Don't they all look cozy?

The next day we decided to tour the island near the campsite.
Here we are making our way over the bridge to the 8 acre island.


This looked like a pretty sweet spot for a picture.

 And of course I had to take pictures of the kids standing under a pine tree with the water in the background.

Here we are back at the campsite, chillin'!

And being silly! I know, big shocker!

My daughter decided that she would try out our 4 year olds fishing pole.
She quickly realized why it's not made for a big person. She cast it with a wee bit too much strength and it broke in half and went flying into the water. I got a picture of her retrieving the top half. I wish I could have gotten it on video.

I like this picture because if you look really closely you can see a dolphin in the water. They were all over the place, along with sting rays and mullet.

We took tons of pictures but I know you have things to do so I'll keep it at this.
We had a good time and it was nice to get away for a couple of days.

Be sure to come back tomorrow when I share all the things we learned during our first RV trip.
Mmmm hmmm! Trust me, we did some learnin'!

Have a fabulous day my friends.
