Took my kids camping for the first time solo

Set up the tent myself, cooked breakfast on the camp stove, didn't lose anyone in the woods. We sat by the fire and my oldest was pointing out constellations. My youngest fell asleep on my chest. Perfect weekend and I did it without backup. Feeling pretty capable right now.

This is what it's all about right here. The not losing anyone part is definitely the bar we should be celebrating. Seriously though, did they ask to go again?

That's huge man. First solo camping trip is legitimately nerve-wracking. The fact that you nailed the tent setup and cooked a real meal makes you a certified dad legend. Which campground did you hit up?

Nobody tells you how good it feels until you pull it off solo. Grilling is basically camping anyway so I'm jealous you got the full experience. How did the kids handle sleeping in the tent?
