Dutch Oven Pizza
On our recent camping trip to Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park we successfully made Dutch Oven Pizza. My oldest son had told us last year how easy it was to make, he learned to make it while working on his cooking merit badge in scouts. Turns out it is easy to make with pre-made ingredients and a little prep work. Ingredients Favorite toppings aside, the main ingredients are pre-made dough, pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. We purchased our dough at the Publix bakery. Make your own if you have great recipe, but make it before the campout and store in a refrigerator/cooler until ready to use. Pre-made Pizza Dough Pizza…

Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park
Our Father’s Day weekend was spent camping at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville, Florida. This is a city park with amazing beach access to Jacksonville beaches.

Pop Rock’n Popcorn
We are packing up and getting ready for our next camping adventure. I thought it would be a great time to practice my sister Stacie’s popcorn recipe, Pop Rock’n Popcorn, for our camping snack this weekend. I plan on making this for our 4th of July Blowout Party when I head back home next month. Pop Rock’n Popcorn is a fantastic snack for the 4th of July or a camping weekend. The sweet taste combined with the surprise pop bursting in your mouth is great for watching fireworks or sitting by a crackling fire at night. Recipe 24 Cups of Popped Popcorn (6 quarts) 6 squares Almond Bark 4 Packs…

5 Things to Take on a Nighttime Kayak Tour
Our family had an amazing adventure last night. We experienced a bioluminescence tour at the Merritt Island National Refuge in Florida. Bioluminescence is the creation of light by a living organism and the release of this light. During the months of May-October in Florida you can experience this amazing phenomenon. The water glows when you move your paddle through the water and you can see fish streak all around you. I recommend the clear kayak tours because you can see all of these organisms glowing under you. I highly recommend Get Up And Go Kayaking tour company. Our guide Penny was absolutely amazing and informative. She kept track of all…
