Okefenokee Swamp - Georgia - Fishing trip with my Dad - SO MANY ALLIGATORS this year!

I don't remember how old I was when we started the tradition that I go fishing at the Okefenokee with my Dad, but I wasn't a teenager yet - I'm sure of that. We've missed a few years here and there, and this year I think it has been several years since I've been. This year though...we made it happen. Both of us are extremely busy - my dad is retired, but I think he might work more now than when he was retired:). (slow down dad:)). With the renovation and the farm, it's hard to get away, but I'm so thankful I did. The memories and stories we come back from the swamp with are some I never grow tired of telling, and some I'll never forget! It's always something new to see, and this year was no different! Nature is so fantastic!
If you've never been to the Okefenokee, I hope this convinces you to take a trip - even if in a tour boat at the refuge...although I do like being closer to nature than those boats are. They also rent canoes if anyone likes that kind of exploration - every inch is just amazing!
Come on along and be sure and watch every minute - it's a video you don't want to skip part of- if you do...I promise you'll miss something fun!

Follow along on our crazy busy life full of family and a farm that was started on faith alone. We are so blessed to be able to piddle about on the farm, loving on baby cows, horses, goats, chickens, pigs and even a donkey or two! My name is Julie and my husband is Matt. We have been married for 15 years. Our family of five is complete with three kids...two boys, Carson (15), Cullen (11), and a girl, Effie (13) sandwiched in the middle. We want to invite you to tag along on some of our adventures - from farm outings to everyday life stuff that is the core of families from all over. We built this life on faith, family and a farm...and we are more blessed than we deserve! If you think you would enjoy this, please subscribe to our channel and send us a comment!

I cannot like this video enough! I’d give anything to fish with my father again. Now I can only “visit” him at Arlington National Cemetery. Loved watching you and your dad!! 💛

I am truly thankful for our trips, and really treasure every single one. My oldest, Carson, is actually driving back from a fishing trip with him right this minute! He treasures them too! I'm sorry for the loss of your father - it's hard for me to even imagine. We will be planning a date for our trip this year too pretty soon:)

Don't rock the boat. lol Wow! all the babies . This is so cool fishing with your dad. My father has passed brings tears to my eyes.

[@faithfamilyafarm8549]

Preserving this memory and these times truly is something to be thankful to our channel for. The baby birds was so cool, and as many times as I had been, we had never seen that. Thanks so watching❤️
