We met Allen, his fiancee Karie, and her little girl Kailey near Cape Henlopen State Park for camping. The state park was all filled up, so Allen and Karie found a private campground with fishing ponds, a huge stack of free firewood, and no other tent campers. We cooked over the fire Saturday night and this morning. Owen and Kailey especially liked the fire. As soon as Owen woke for the day, he tried to get out of the tent, and repeated, "fi, fi, fi," ("fire, fire, fire"). It was a good think Allen had rebuilt the fire before his early morning run, as both the kids enjoyed keeping warm first thing in the morning, and we could get breakfast going.
Allen and Kailey brought along their fishing poles, so they did a bit of fishing in the pond this morning. I believe all the catch were bream and were released. Sunny tried to take a bite out of the first fish of the day, but seemed to get a bit of a rough touch on a sharp fin.
After we packed up out tents, we went to the beach at Cape Henlopen where Owen and Kailey enjoyed the COLD water, playing in the sand, and looking for shells. We had a tasty picnic on the beach, and said our good-byes. Owen got a great nap on the way home, and we got gas for $2.779 in Maryland to boot!
Thanks for a great weekend guys!
