Camp Cornelius

Belhaven North Carolina is a 1,685 located in the Inner Banks.  I know 6 of those folks really well.  We call it Camp because it comes complete with golf cart, trampoline, pool, hot-tub, playhouse, go-cart, 4 wheelers, dirt bikes and a boat.  My husband's sister is but a 5hr car ride away.  The kids love hanging with their cousins and we love hanging with the adults.

Last year they added some new members to their family



I had no idea how much work chickens are.  They are living in the lap of luxury in Belhaven.  They were so well taken care of that they had to add an addition to the coop to accommodate them all.  Some of them wear jackets...the things you learn in NC

Checking for the loot

Who is having fun?

Holding the loot


The latest in chicken fashion

When we weren't slaving away taking care of the chickens (ok, I was taking pics and the my sister-in-law was doing all the work with an audience) we went crabbing.

We had the nets ready for our bounty...


Waiting....


Our one and only!!

Ok, so if crabbing isn't working, fishing was Plan B.  I don't know about you, but baiting the hook is the part of fishing I can't get past, so I took pics.

Ok, so one to Plan C, a little crab and fish feast at their outdoor kitchen.  Then on to R&R...




All in all a great weekend, even came back with a goodie box packed with crabs, fish, chicken, hush puppies, cake etc.  THANKS Donna and Joey
