What a blast we had. Talk about family fun and just quality time spent together. We did more camping and fishing we even saw fire works. We didn't take the boat I could only tow one trailer at a time. We went approx 3 1/2 hours away to a place called Fantasy Island. The first night there was a surprise when we go there. The water main had broken to the island and it would be 10:00 when we finally had water. Well as we improvised and went to the camp site it was an easy back up and park. My kids and I started to unpack bikes and dog stuff. Than they went to investigate the campground. My oldest daughter and I started to hook up all the utilities. You know you really can't replace the time spent with your children. We than had a lot more fun well tried we were going to have a fire but it started to rain. So we decided to stay in the trailer and rest. We finally called it a night and went to sleep.
As I like to get up early. It was about 6:00 am when I got up and took the dogs out. Had my first cup of coffee and started the day. There were lots of activities at the campground. Chocolate Olympics, Bingo, parade, a DJ, and flash light hunt for candy.
The family fun didn't stop there was a time to have a BBQ with all the campground and than a auction and raffles. And guess what my youngest daughter won a nice lamp. My son was discouraged because he didn't win anything so he and I went to play shuffle board that was his second best thing to do. The first was miniature golf yes they had a little set up and all the kids loved it. We did try to go fishing but all we kept doing was getting snagged and breaking the lines. Since we didn't have the boat to go out far. The place to fish from was by the bridge and typically the is a lot of rocks also a lot of fish if you can get out far enough. The river kept bringing the lines to the side. So we finally gave up.Well as we had lots of family fun through out the weekend. WE had fires each night and marshmallows and smores. Lots of good food and exercise. The kids rode there bikes a lot it is nice not to have to watch over them like hawks. They just had to check in and let us know where they were. The dogs seemed to like it also. Even during the fireworks the dogs were content a lady even said that was the first time she saw dogs so relaxed during fireworks. We really enjoyed the campground I was hoping it wasn't so far away so maybe we could go more often. The day before we left we went to Knobles it is an amusement park and I'll tell you it was the most reasonable park I have seen. The kids went on all the rides they wanted to and we had lunch also in the park. We got a large pizza and it feed the 5 of us and drinks for only 18.00 that is what we normally pay at home. We have been to the shore and that same pizza and soda was 25.00, but the food at Knobles was very good. Better than any other park we have been to. To get into the park was free no charge. Only had to pay if you wanted to go on the rides so if mom and dad didn't want to ride they didn't have to pay to get in. That was nice because we do go on some rides but not all with the kids. Can't even name all the rides they went on. We even took the dogs they were allowed as long as they were on a leash. All had fun and now we are ready for bed well mom and dad are. Back at the campsite they even had a nice Sunday morning service which was a blessing. Well time to go home and unload. As we packed up and got ready to leave we will all miss the family fun here at Fantasy Island.

Start of Family fun and Making money

Well last year was great as we had lots of family fun. We did a lot of fishing. In the Delaware River we did a lot of cat fishing the kids thought it was great and it seamed like we always caught some. The boat was all finished and we took it out to many times to count. The whole family had a great time fixing the boat and now they are enjoying the fruits of their labor. What a joy for a father to see the smiling faces as a fish is caught. We also went and saw the fire works on the 4Th of July. We are not sure if we want to do that again most of the boaters that leave are going fast and not watching where they are going so it was scary for the little ones not to mention me as the drive. It was almost like riding a motor cycle where you need to watch out for everything and not many see you. Not sure why that is but that's the case. Now where we go to launch the boat is the friendliest place and when you see them on the river everyone waves to each other and if someone is would stop and it looks like they are having a problem they stop to check. A few times we would just cruse around just for fun. I remember that there were waves close to shore and we went toward them and water came in the over the bow the kids loved it they all got wet and since it was planed it was OK. What family fun it was just to spend time with the family. We also went to the bays and rivers down the shore. My wife and I both have our boat license and she likes to drive when we were at the river we caught a lot of crabs and it was cool. My sun caught a fish in his net and dropped it cause he was scared. we all laughed. He also caught a crab on top of the net and he ran to mommy in the boat. We are not real good crabbers or fishers but we are committed to the family fun we do have. My wife and I even got a baby sitter and took the boat out ourselves. We took the boat in the ocean oh what a blast. We caught sand sharks and skates. The biggest was 3 1/2 foot long shark and the skate from tips was approx 2 feet. You know if there was no money to use for these trips it would be a bummer. I am glad that I can earn some money online to do these things. I could not replace the times spent with the family and couldn't even put a price on it. I praise God for all he has provided. Stay tuned as we share the next trip or elaborate on one of the other trips. Family fun and making money.
