Reelfoot Lake only 100 more to go

Reelfoot Lake is about an hour away from my house which is no big deal. Here is the link http://tnstateparks.com/parks/about/reelfoot-lake the drive is beautiful. Every year Reelfoot has an Arts and Crafts Festival that I grew up going to. Reelfoot is ideal for fishing, boating and any kind of water fun. The family (all of us this time) stayed at the RV camp site. Not that we have an RV but we do have a small pop up. Actually it's my parents and they let us use it whenever we want to. The RV camp site is EXTREMELY clean. The bathrooms were equally as clean. We went there on April 18th which was Easter weekend. We arrived on Friday afternoon and pulled in the campsite feeling like the Clampetts. They were crowded, very crowded, and there was about a million kids there. We had just gotten a new puppy the day before we went to Reelfoot and the puppy was the hit of the campsite. All the kids there loved up on that puppy and he had to be held while he slept that weekend. He is a rotten dog. The kids had a wonderful time playing and hanging out with all the other kids there. My husband and I ended up feeding all of the kids at the park. I wanted to ask if their parents forgot to bring food and did their parents even know where they were. Please don’t think that I am being unkind but I got a little miffed when I went into our little sad pop up and there were 4 kids in the pop up and none of them were mine. I immediately told them to get out. Really? The funniest thing that happened or at least I thought it was VERY funny was that we were being watching by a family of campers that "lived" there? I am assuming that they lived there because there was a full refrigerator outside under a canopy. WOW! However, every move I made I could hear two elderly ladies sitting outside their RV (which was extremely nice) talking about what I was doing. At first I thought that I was crazy but it was like I was a movie and they were the commentators. "What is she doing? I think she is going to start a fire". I looked down and thought that maybe I was crazy. I ran into the pop up and got out my dryer lint. Yes, you read correctly, dryer lint is the best way to start a fire. Plus, you are recycling. I took it out to where the fire was going to be and proceeded to shove it into my stick tepee. All of the sudden I heard rather loudly, "well would you look at that, that's a good idea using dryer lint. I'm always a day late and a dollar short." After I got the fire started and I continued to listen to Statler and Waldorf (old guys from the Muppets) commentate my every move. The next day we went to the museum with the new puppy. No pets were allowed in however, no one said a word about the fact that I was carrying the small dog in my jacket pocket with his head sticking out. If you go to Reelfoot, take a trip to the museum and walk along the board walk. It's truly beautiful. There are eagles and owls there and one of the owls must not like people because it kept creepily hissing at everyone. On the board walk there were tons of snakes bathing on rocks which were a nice nature lesson for the kids. My lesson was, "for the love of God get the hell away from them. They will bite you." Water moccasins are not a snake that I find interesting. In all actuality I find no snake interesting. All in all, our entire trip to Reelfoot was a lot of fun and everyone was very friendly and the campsite was clean. Let’s not forget clean.
