Camping with the Family!

Summer time is meant to be spent outdoors, having fun with friends and families.

It's a great chance to enjoy nature, explore and make some everlasting memories.

We live in an incredibly gorgeous country, and what better way to spend time with the family outdoors getting back to nature than camping!

Sure, some of you may think, camp? outside? all night? with the kids! (GASP!) But really, think of the great memories you will build, camping doesn't have to be scary... although I will tell you it has scared me in the past!

So, you are ready to tackle a weekend of camping with the family? What do you need? momstown has a great list of things you need! A tent, some sleeping bags, camfire cooking accessories (no ovens or microwaves in the wild!) maybe a lantern and of course some fun stuff for the kids!!

Our friends over at momstown Mississauga wrote a great post on preparing to camp as a family, she made it sound easy!

For those non-campers (like me!) I am sure your first thought was campfire cooking accessories? What on earth can I cook on a campfire!!! You would be amazed at what you can cook on an open campfire! And I am not just talking hot dogs and marshmallows (although a good spidey dog and some s'mores, sure make the kids smile!). You can make tacos, pizza, shish kebobs, bacon and eggs and even PIE!!!

momstown has a great list of all the amazing food you can make on a campfire, you might just eat better while camping than you do at home!

This week momstown Barrie is going to test the camping waters with our wee ones as we adventure into Back Yard Camping!!! We are all ready for some tents, good food and great fun! Be sure to join us, you won't want to miss this one!
