Took the kids camping alone for the first time

Wife was at her sister's so I packed up the two boys and headed to a state park about an hour away. I was nervous as hell but figured I had to start somewhere. Set up the tent, made some decent campfire food, and honestly it went pretty smooth. We hiked for like 3 hours, kids were tired and happy. Only real problem was my 5 year old woke up at 3am terrified of a cricket outside the tent but we got through it. They want to go again next month which means I'm doing something right. Thinking about trying an actual backcountry trip next year. Scared but excited.
