The days are getting longer, the nights warmer, and the campouts are beginning to be added to the calendar. Our first family campout will be this week, and so the planning must begin! Camping with children can be fun. Camping with children can be stressful. Even though camping can be both, when you bring children with you, there are more things to remember.

Everyone says that they grow up fast. Everyone is right.
I remember the days. Packing and unpacking are a lot of work, but the fun to be had is worth it.
Me too, but I don’t remember how much work it was to unpack 🙂
Wish I would have had this list before this last weekend! Good list to start with! Thanks
Thanks for commenting! Now that we camped for the weekend, I am trying to think if we forgot anything important.
