St. Andrews State Park Once Again

Just since 2011 when we bought our first trailer and started camping, it has become increasingly more difficult to get reservations at state parks (Florida especially).  Last year we camped at St. Andrews State Park the first weekend in November and enjoyed it very much so we made our reservation nearly a year in advance for this site on the water for the same weekend.

Our View

We enjoyed a few days at home after our trip to Lake Seminole and left after church on Sunday for a few days at St. Andrews.  Last year when we camped here, Bubba had good luck catching mullet right behind our campsite.  As we were getting set up this year, we could see and hear mullet jumping and he was eager for it to get a little darker to see if he could catch some.

Mullet Catching Outfit

We enjoyed time in our chairs reading and watching boats go by until it began to get dark.  Bubba got all geared up to wade out and catch fish but to no avail.  (We even brought grease for frying fish this time.)  Although he tried a couple of times, they just weren’t there in the water shallow enough for him to get them.

Waiting Patiently

We got all our lights set up this trip since it was not too windy.  We had one small group of trick or treaters on Halloween so Bubba had a bag of Snickers that he continues to enjoy.

All Aglow

I told Bubba he could be Fidel Castro for Halloween.

Bird Watching

Amy sent pictures of their Halloween.  It looks like super heroes are once again the thing.

We enjoyed walking before breakfast each morning so we could see the deer that frequent the park.  Although we made our reservation for three nights, we only stayed two.  By the way the “no-see-ums” ate my legs up!  I don’t understand how something you can’t see can bite you and cause such itching.  

We always see deer here.
