Short travel day and packing to stay in cabins for the week while Momo goes in to the dealer for warranty repairs.
Swimming in a salt water pool.
BIG family talks with LOTS of feelings.
Fishing and karaoke.
Preparing for approaching hurricane.
Another travel day, another new to us state.
Pulling in to KOA campground in Hattiesburg, MS. There was a one lane road about the pond to turn around on the other side before driving back to our site on this side. Notice the No Swimming sign – Alligators May Be Present.
KOA Hattiesburg, MS
Swan Goose. The warning when we arrived was NOT to feed any of the ducks or else they will come out of the woods like a horror movie.
Sudden rain storm caused steam to come up off the roof of the building next door only minutes after we got settled.
Inside our cabin while the camper was being repaired. We stayed in two different cabins for 4 nights. This was the large one where 5 people stayed.
Enjoying the salt water pool. ChimSta even got in the water!
Evening walk around the campground pond (with the ducks coming to see if we’ll feed them).
Color changing fire starter.
Roughing it. I forgot to pack a can opener so we had to used the basic one on Dad’s pocket knife.
The kids fishing from the bridge over the pond.
Munchlax’s catch of the day.
Preparing for Hurricane Ida to arrive. We carefully watched the forecast because we were set to travel two days after this.
Karaoke night at the KOA.
Staying occupied during the karaoke.
Also go to roast marshmallows during karaoke time.
The kids think it’s funny to have ChimSta sing “Total Eclipse of the Heart”
Cabin #10 where Roselia and ChimSta slept, but we spent most of our time in the bigger cabin with the others.
Cabin #2 in the center is where PsyDoug, DestinEevee, Loudren, Squirtle, and Munchlax slept. It’s also were we spent most of our time and cooked.
Another travel day, another state. There was a lot of traffic heading north with us as people were evacuating from Louisiana from Hurricane Ida. The majority of the traffic going south was electric trucks and National Guard.
We of course had to listen to the Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
PsyDoug training up another helper for setting up camp. Roselia did a pretty good job đ
