Down by Two Rivers

This trip took us to Roylton Minnesota to Two Rivers RV Park. 

Day1

Before we got to the park we just had to stop at 

Teasure City in Royalton

 it's about a mile past our exit but as kids Jennifer parents and my parents would stop there for a little treasure. There's usally something different to buy there. I picked up two shirts our son got a toy, and our daughter is into rocks so she got a treasure chest full. Jennifer decided against the bottled shark. 

  After we nab our booty we headed to the park do to a detour we had to go through some curvy roads which we all handled well and reacher our destination. It's at a dead end road so you're not going to miss it. When we arrived we were greated by fella at the gate you told us to give our license plate number to the check in and wait for the guy to show us to our site. I noticed plenty of trees younger ones and more mature trees. This park is in between well two rivers The Platte River and Missisippi it's on higher ground so flooding isn't a concern there is a lower area where you can camp but that was closed due to higher water concern. The majority of the park is on higher ground. The sites are fairly level grass sites (no mats), and spacious, fire pit, picnic table and full hook up. I always like to see how far the sewer hook from the site next to us is from our picnic table or fire ring is and it's about 16 or better feet. Just in case someone decides to open theirs it's nice to know you're not sitting on top of it. The garbage is across a parking lot well away from the sites, personally I like that. While we were setting up the bugs/bettles were jumping on us and just being a bear. We'd swat and stomp these things it was really terrible. Then we decided to walk the park and check out the playground which was really nice.

Once they saw the pool & kiddy pool it was on!

The pool 

This is the first time the kids got to hit the pool at a park. There's a kiddy pool that has to little fountains in them and it was about 1 1/2 feet deep.

 The kids found out if they plug on fountain with their feet they make the other one powerfu. It was a riot to see the other get an in suspected shot of water. The pool started to get some of those bettles floating around and I asked a lady what they are and she called them potatoe bettles. I've never heard of them till today.  After the pool we head back for some food. Just as the grill started warming up it started to rain. So I shut down the grill and Jennifer warmed up some brats in the microwave. The rain stopped and we decided to start a fire and have the newly found treat campfire cones.

We noticed that the rain knocked out those darn bettles and it was nice to sit by the fire. Then a small shower started and we headed back in. It stopped we went out and the rain shower came again. 

With off and on rain we decided to shut down and just go in and watch a movie for the rest of the night. 

Day 2

This morning we wanted to try something different thing in our dutch ovens, a Monkey bread and a egg bake. With the wind and the clouds looking like it's going to rain we weren't sure how this was going to turn out. We lite the coals anyway and got started.

The bread took about 45 min and the egg bake took hour and 15 min. Man the smell from the bread was amazing!! 

Times up on the bread and oh my was it good!! The top got crunchy and the middle soft like bread. We couldn't stop! Was there even going to be room for the egg bake which was the main meal.

At the end of cooking in the oven.

The second or eighth one, who's counting? Even our neibour liked them. 

Then the egg bake was done. We had to start another batch of coals the wind just was not in my favor today they burned quick. This was the first time doing both of these and we weren't disappointed. These will be on the menu from now on. 

It was a great start on day two at Two Rivers RV Park. After we cleanup we headed to the park to wear some of this great food off. I actually ran into one of my cousins here who has a season site. It was getting to be lunch time so we headed back to do some cleaning before my parents and brother came for a visit. (It's $5.00 per guest in to the campground) They brought us lunch which was awesome. We set up out canopy cause of a few rain drops. While we were hanging out our canopy blew over and got bent not the one attached to the rv but our portable one. The wind didn't seem a problem at the time we put it up. (Note to self stake it in)  and then the kids wanted to hit the pool again. This time we let them hit those slides and we let them go up and down as much as they wanted. When the kids finally had enough we headed back to relax and talk. Jenn and our son read a book while grandma and our daughter played go fish. My dad,brother and I stayed outside. The clouds started to move and they decided to get out while they could. We had to dump the tanks and just as we were the rain down poured! We got soaked. Then after about 10 minutes it cleared up. This is been an on and off weekend as far as the rain. We decided to grill those burgers. What would rving be without burgers and beans. The salad is just to even things  out.

 To end day two we started the last 5 pieces of wood we had and just relaxed. The kids and Jennifer hit the park one more time and when they got back glow stick time. Then it was off to bed it was a busy day.

Day3

Dump & Roll

We took our  time on the last day since check out wasn't till 3:00 but we were going to leave a little earlier than that. It was a beutiful day out but the wind was still blowing heavy. We got up cleaned a little, ate some left over monkey bread and egg bake. Then we headed to the park, the kids love the firemans pole. Then we went back to the site picked up and did the usual dump and roll. We always do walk around make sure nothing is left behind and make sure that the compartments are closed. The wind on the way home way crazy it felt like we were all over the place. When we got home we unloaded and clean the inside of the rv, and all before 3:00. This was a very fun trip and we'll definetly be back to Two River RV Park. Check it out at.
