Taking the Boys Camping and Might Have Made a Huge Mistake
First time camping with both kids, 7 and 4. Took them to a nice state park with bathrooms and running water so not crazy. Everything went fine setup wise but I forgot how little kids react to darkness. My 4yo was convinced monsters were like 30 feet away despite me literally being able to see the bathroom from our site. Got basically no sleep, my 7yo was fine but kept asking why his brother was being a baby. Got up at sunrise, went home by 9am. I don't think I'm done camping but clearly my preparation and planning needs work. Gonna try again in like a month when I'm emotionally ready.
State park camping with a 7 and 4 year old and it went fine? That's actually impressive. Mine would've found mud within five minutes and refused to leave it.
