How To Do Just About Everything
Have you ever tried to get your whole family including your Parents, Sisters and Brothers, kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews to all go on a family campout? We have a large family and we do it! It can be great. It is a lot of hard work and planning but totally worth it. You really need to give it a try. Get your family out of their comfort zone and go.
Setting up a tent
Set up your campsite whether you still do tents like I do or an RV; it doesn’t matter. Just plan on enjoying yourself
Unloading car
Carry in all your things from the car and into the tent. You’ll need blow up beds, pillows, blankets, flashlight and lots of munchies.
Enjoy the fire
At the end of day 1 and all the hard work of setting up camp relax in front of a nice campfire and enjoy sunset.
Cooking over a fire
Day 2 Get a cup of Coffee and start planning some events. You’ll need to build a nice fire for cooking.
Enjoying a meal
Set down to enjoy meal together
Squirt gun being filled
Kids are ready for fun. Filling squirt guns will do for a start.
Ready to go fishin'
The kids enjoy doing a little fishin’ and you can too. Or maybe you’d all rather just take a dip in the water.
Putt Putt anyone
Enjoy a round of Putt Putt you can unwind and be a kid no one cares. Have Fun!
Learning how to golf
Get your Great Uncle to give you instructions on hitting a Golf ball. Hitting those little balls can be a real stress reliever too.
Cornhole game
Play a little Cornhole, again throwing bean bags is great fun. Sometimes it takes a little practice to hit that hole.
Roasting marshmallows
Roasting marshmallows for smores is always a great time. If you’ve never had one try one the next time you build a fire. It’s graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate bar and peanut butter is optional. They are fattening but so good.
Introducing cousins
Family Camp is also a good time to get new cousins together for the first time.
Family Pic
Try to get as many of your family members together to get a big picture. This is a real challenge but rewarding when you pull it all off. Color co-ordinate your families so you can tell who each other are years from now. Trust me, you might not recognize yourself or your grandkids a few years from now.
Mom
If you're like us we try to incorporate our annual family campout with Mom’s Birthday. You can’t have too much family time. Find your own special date to get away.
