June 19-21, 2008, DelMarVa Chicken Festival!

Off to the Eastern Shore to help celebrate the Chicken Festival! About 90 miles from Washington, it was a nice easy drive. Got to campsite at last-light Thursday evening.





Trap Pond State Park, just across the Maryland line in Delaware. Nice campground!


Kathy & Lee have been traveling around in the Barth for five years, but this trip had a new twist to it......Their first camping weekend with a grandkid. Raegan, 3-1/2yrs, made her maiden voyage with Bampa & Grandmom. Gotta tell ya, THIS trip had its own set of dynamics to it!



The "pond" in Trap Pond State Park, a few miles outside of Laurel DE. Lot's of local fishing boats, so it must be good fishing........


The Delaware, Maryland, Virginia peninsula (ie: DelMarVa) is known for it's chicken raising.
The annual Chicken Festival promotes this industry - kinda hokey, but fun! It's biggest claim to fame - World's Largest Frying Pan!..........


....and here it is today, still in use (60 gallons of peanut oil!)


No doubt about it......We got ourselves a future astronaut here!



Raegan & Grandmom......(Bampa doesn't do Ferris Wheels...........)




Not chickens, but ya still gotta watch where you step.............Trap Pond, DE


Major accomplishment - Raegan comes within a nano-second of holding a chick!
