Listen to New To Camping HERE
With summer quickly approaching, we are starting to think about all the summer fun we plan for this year. Topping the list for us is our favorite warm weather get away!! Camping can be an extravagant glamping expedition or a simple tent and bonfire adventure. We definitely lean toward simplicity.
We discussed our experiences over the years. The experience changes as your kids get older and can help make it happen more. When your kids are younger, it is harder because they have a limited ability to help. But as they get older and can help with the set up, take down and food prep it becomes less work and more fun.
Big Announcement Coming!
Make sure and check back in on Wednesday! We have big changes coming for our podcast. We are going to mix up a few things we’re doing to make it more fun.
Have you heard our episode on warm weather meals. You’re going to need to eat while camping. Listen to this episode HERE to get a few ideas.
