We did it! Three nights in the wilderness! There were showers and bathrooms, so it wasn’t unbearable, but it was definitely out of my comfort zone and SO MUCH WORK! I think camping is great if you’re the kid in the equation, but as the parent, the work begins days before you leave: cleaning the trailer, shopping for food, prepping the meals, packing the gear, then you get to the site and have to set up and cook and then clean up and when you come home you get to unload all the crap and do laundry for 48 hours. Seriously.
Was it worth it, though? Yep. Awesome family time, great memories.
I am kind of glad I get a year off before we even think about doing it again, though.

You are a braver woman than I. I briefly pondered taking Grady camping this year and then I realized how much work would be involved, plus keeping Grady safe without the constraints of a house, and I shut that idea down hard. I’m glad you guys had fun!
You look sooo beautiful and relaxed in that photo! Hurrah for family memories! So much fun for the kids, and I agree it is SO. MUCH. WORK. as parents!
Looks like a fun time with family :-)
