Don't Forget The Kids!

Please visit my website www.camperswebsite.com , and thanks to all who have!

You packed the food, clothes, beverages, chairs, bug spray, cookware, charcoal, and the kitchen sink, and are ready to go camping. Did you forget something? First time camping families tend to make a fatal error before they leave. Packing toys for the kids. I know, you're going out to the great outdoors to enjoy the fresh air and natures beauty, but do you want to hear "Mom, I'm bored", or "Dad, there's nothing to do"?

Chances are you worked all week, you're tired, and you need a break from it all. Going camping tends to be a little more work than staying at home for the weekend, with all the packing, traveling, and cooking over the fire or grill. The last thing you need is more on your plate.
Bring what the kids play with at home. If it's a video game, pack a small TV and the games for them. Cell phones, Ipods, board games, DVD's, etc. Don't forget their favorite sleeping aids, stuffed animals, blankets, etc.

You can never be too safe on a trip, camping or traveling in general. I know this goes against the premise of getting everyone to enjoy nature, but trust me, it's better to be safe than sorry.
