GOIN' CAMPING!!!

School is almost out and Memorial Day weekend is quickly approaching! As I awoke yesterday morning 20 minutes earlier than my alarm was set to go off, to the wailing sounds of Kiss on my husbands bedside radio (why does his alarm only seem to wake ME up?!), I found myself thinking that this weekend would be the perfect one for our first family camping trip of the season. Which of course led me to immediately begin composing my mental to-do list! Generally, it is me that gets the wonderful task of packing and shopping and food prep. Somehow Ken manages to find other things that keep him from helping me with these tasks, but I guess it's for the best. Knowing us, packing together would just create chaos! So I thought it would be great to blog about the family fun to be had camping and how to ensure there are no tears (from kids or moms!) on your wilderness getaway! First of all- understand that camping to me does involve a tent (no cabins here!) but I draw the line at toilet paper in the woods! There must be bathrooms! Maybe I could handle it if it were just myself, but with an 8, 4, and 2 year old, bathrooms are a must. To save space on my homepage, I'll continue this as a "page". Just check out the right hand column of my homepage and click on the "Family Camping!" for more on making your weekend camping trip a blast, even for mom!
