Me too on the putting the tent up and packing. I was getting the girls organised most days and poor Hubby did the bulk of packing the stuff in the trailer. We did alright with our instant tent...we got completely up in about 20-25 minutes, the tent itself is quick say 5 mins, its just then putting on the fly and pegging it down :) I'm more of a stay in a caravan park with amenities type of girl. xxJulie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-21803057479768340432016-12-09T12:12:02.567+11:002016-12-09T12:12:02.567+11:00Thanks Elisa, it was amazing!!

I hate helping put up the tent and gear but enjoy it when we can camp away from caravan parks. I like bush camping or places where spaces are far apart. Have fun and happy anniversary.

My husband and I have some great memories from camping trips away.<br /><br />We have self-inflating mattresses so I am thankful for those, but we just found that the stretcher beds we purchased don't fit inside the tent...arrggh!

Maybe now the kids are older you could try a weekend away camping. You could always tie a little bell to the tent, so if he did try to wander off you'd hear him open the tent :)Julie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-85677481809330630412016-10-18T13:54:08.045+11:002016-10-18T13:54:08.045+11:00This sounds like a wonderful family holiday.

It's because there are six of them and I think I would go batty with the worry, noise and washing!Six Little Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387889788389322969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-69207653289503951402016-10-18T12:46:22.060+11:002016-10-18T12:46:22.060+11:00This sounds so exciting, Julie.

An air mattress is my saviour. I don't think I could do it without one. We have an air pump that goes into the dash of the car and inflates the air beds super-quick. Enjoy your adventure and happy 20th anniversary. Such a fabulous milestone. xMaxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-56245775317194035032016-10-18T11:20:26.974+11:002016-10-18T11:20:26.974+11:00When my children were younger I was always too sca...When my children were younger I was always too scared to take them camping as one of my kids was a wanderer and a sleep walker and I was scared I'd wake up and he'd be gone! Looking back I wish I hadn't worried so much and just gone camping with them. I'm sure there could have been strategies I could have taken to prevent him wandering.Fabulousandfunlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874154462328317603noreply@blogger.com
