Spring break is here again!!!
So we asked our kids what they wanted to do this spring break for vacation….we got the usual lets go to Disney Land, can we go to Florida again bla bla bla. So we thought we would do something completely different this time.
And at 8:30pm on Friday night we took our kids to the sporting goods store and told them we were going camping in the morning and so we all picked out our tent, sleeping bags, etc…
As the store was kicking us out (literally) we had what we thought would be all the necessities of tent camping with 4 kids.
So we get home and we prepare all the things we will need for our tent camping experience.
The next morning we leave pretty early and head up to the lake and to find a great spot for our tent and for the kids to play.
We got really lucky and found a gorgeous view of the hills and lake (see picture) and we all decided this was “the” spot.
We started to put the tent together and realized we had no hammer to drive the spikes into the ground. Luckily there was a nice retired man that lived on the camp site and he let us use his. (note to self) make sure we have our own hammer next time.
Finally the tent is up and the kids have arranged their sleeping bags just where they want them. So we decide to take our new Hummer off roading with the kids…….keep in mind that I am 6 months pregnant. We had so much fun and the kids I think almost lost their voices from yelling and screaming on the off road adventure. It was really great!
We found a nice little spot on the lake to let the kids out and play for a little while.
Once we got back to the tent (everyone was starving and ready to eat) we always make daddy the chef he made us really good chicken and green beans and then of course we had smores after that.
All in all we had a great time on our camping adventure. I would love to hear some of your tent camping adventures with kids….please send me some stories of your own!
