Camping!!!!

We recently reserved our site for our first camping trip of 2012!  I don't know who's more excited, my husband, 4 year old or myself!  Even Oscar LOVES camping!  We have always camped, in a tent!  Yep, I said it, a tent!  There are several trips that we were thankful that our friends had a camper so we could hide out during rain storms but otherwise we love our tent! 

This is our first tent!  We actually bought it on a camping trip when we were dating! 

 This is our tent now!  LOVE it!  We can fit our double up inflatable mattress, area for Del to sleep, pack and play, chair to sit on and all of our clothes!  Plus there are so many nets to use to hang clothes on or keep certain items handy, which is nice with young children!  We always bring our oscillating fan with us, which is wonderful for those cool nights or warm mornings!

 This was our 2nd camping trip last year, our first one was Memorial weekend.  Abe was just 6 weeks old but it was so much fun!!!

 SOOOOO glad I saw this while registering, the best bouncy seat ever!!  Except there are 2 holes that you have to plug to keep bugs out.  Otherwise, it worked wonderfully last year!!!

Who doesn't love some creatures near your campsite!!

We have camped for years and each year we learn something new or think of something that we have to get for our next trip!
Tips:
Always bring shower shoes, for everybody!
Be friendly, you never know what you might forget and need!
Travel light, you'll be so much happier with leaving some stuff behind!
Invest in a good mattress, you'll be refreshed after a good night's sleep!
 If camping with others, share food!
Enjoy your time together as a family!

Do you have family trips planned?!
