When you need adventure so bad in your life but you are 'stuck' at home many people have turned their backyard into a campsite! We are here to share with you this idea but some extras to make your time a little extra special!
ALL THINGS CAMPING - check out this area for all your gear, tips and ideas!
First of all and of course, check your weather! You don't want the tent to end up in your neighbors yard :) Also, this will help with your campfire blowing into others windows as well- always good to be cautious of those around you.
Have your kids set up the tent with you. My girls feel so accomplished when they 'help' (even if it's not very helpful) and can then feel like it's their own campsite!
We all know the basics we love about camping: sleeping under the stars, being out in nature, fresh air, campfires & more! But we want to think outside the box and make camping a little more fun! Here are some great ideas to do it:
Make your fire flames different colors! - your neighbors may check on you to be sure everything is ok... but your kids are going to love it!
15 Unique S'mores Recipes - You're taste buds are going to freak out just by reading these! Let me know which one you try- our favorite was mind chocolate.
SPARKLERS! - I don't know about your kids but mine love fire... I tell them it's a magical wand of their own fire and we sparkle it up!
Time to be an artist - paint something that you see! Bring out a canvas, brushes and paint... paint something you see. Maybe the fire or maybe even someone roasting a marshmallow over it. The ideas are endless.. the art pieces are one of a kind :)
Hide an animal mask in your luggage - scare people or have him be the photo-bomber in all your pictures of the camping night! (or like us, pick a poor soul and see how many times you can scare them, make sure they are a best friend for life first :)
Chat Together about your day and adventures during your campfire. What was their favorite part, what was their least favorite. Why was this? etc. Have them chat about it then journal and date it in something like this! Now you have the memories logged for life :)
HAPPY GREAT INDOORS!
