Halloween Myrtle Beack KOA Weekend Saturday, October 26th

We slept in rather late on Saturday, did not get up until 8:30am. I got up and showered then got the coffee brewing before getting Amy up. We had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and an apple for breakfat.

Amy and I rode our bikes around the campground after breakfast and looked at the different site decorations. There were several really good ones that went all out for Halloween. I think the Peanuts site was our favorite though.

By this time Amy was ready to go to the beach and sit out for awhile. We had just left the KOA parking lot when Amy realized she had forgotten her sunscreen. I had to turn around and go back because we did not want a repeat of last year. 

While she was on the beach i went for a bike ride. I rode up to the Bowery and back again. I stopped several times to look at the ocean and feel the breeze upon my face. 

When I got back I read the Star Tribune and then used it to start the fire. I had a lot of cooking to do and wanted to get a good bed of coals going. 

First thing I wanted to try was cornbread. We had purchased a small  packet that only needed to have water added. I was going to use my 2 pan set and cook the bread. It did OK but it had been so long since I cooked with coals I forgot something very important. I did not put coals on the top of the pan. It did cook okay though it was a little doughy.

Next I had to get the cobbler on and going. We  used the small pot for this and I remembered to put the coals on the top this time. It turned out very well and we shared with a couple across the way.

All this time Amy was enjoying herself on the beach and she returned about 3:30, just in time to eat about 4pm.

After we had eaten, it was time for the kids to walk around in their costumes and collect candy. We gave out 450 pieces of candy and the kids had a good time. Bob Bones and I enjoyed watching the kids and they got a kick out of him and me.

We went back to camp and cleaned up and sat around the fire for a while longer. It was starting to get dark and we drove down to the Boardwalk and spent a little time together.  After that we drove up the strip and then down to the Christmas mouse. On the way back we stopped for gas at the Walmart on 17. 

We packed up most everything after getting back. The decorations, chairs, food and etc. that would not be needed the next morning. They are calling for rain and we did not want to pack up so much stuff in the rain. Tomorrow we head home after church services.
