Jellystone Campground

From now on, when we get to a campground I am searhing for the tornado shelter just in case…..especially since we are traveling right during tornado season. Just when we get out of it, we will be headed to florida during hurricane season.  🤦‍♀️

What was supposed to be a 3.5 hour drive turned into a 5.5 hour drive because of traffic. We had to whip out the wiki stix.

Brielle made a bird nest  I asked her if the mother bird has any hired help arranged to help with all those babies that are coming. She said “no she doesn’t need to hire anyone because grandma and grandpa are planning to help.”

I had the brilliant idea to introduce Mr. patience to this scrabble square puzzle. It’s the perfect RV activity right?

I had to explain to him that he was putting it together wrong. It had to be put in 3 rows of 3. He did not handle this news well.

After working at it another oh…maybe 10 minutes, he cri d “this is impossible! There is no way to do this right!” Then things ended like this. So this was a fun activity.

We finally arrived. We are staying at a Jellystone campground in Fort Worth for several days. I am glad to stay put for awhile. Brandon will be traveling to his trainings each day. We’ve stayed at a Jellystone before, but this is the biggest one we’ve ever stayed at.

We had quite the wait getting in. This place is swamped. Summer is just beginning and most schools here in Texas are done. On top of that, we came on a Friday evening.

I quick whipped up dinner in the insta pot. We had chicken and rice tonight. I know I haven’t been documenting our meals very often, but this insta pot is extremely used while we RV.

  1. The Jellystone park looks more like a resort than a camp ground. Have you guys been to almost all 50 states at this point with your kiddos? Do you happen to have them marking off the states that they have visited? Also, how do you make sure that you have a spot at the campground? Do you reserve it like you would a hotel room?

    1. We do have a map that we’ve been marking off after we travel. We have been to most of the states. There are still some out East we haven’t visited yet, that we hope to. Also the non connecting ones and Washington and Oregon. Hopefully someday we will make it that far. The Jellystone campground is very nice, like a resort. We usually stay at KOA’s, but have also stayed at a couple Jellystone’s(if we know we will be staying in an area for a long time). Campgrounds are very similar to booking hotels. You can do it online, but we usually call and talk to someone. It’s easier that way. We always need a pull through site because we are towing a vehicle behind the motor home. We have had to book campgrounds further in advance, with it being Summer time. Summer time camping is obviously more common that camping in the Fall.
