OKAY, so I took some of your advice on changes to make before embarking on camping trip #2. So let's chat about how those changes planned out and what I think of camping now.
Many of you told me to plan more activities for the kiddos to keep them busy. That worked pretty well on this trip because it happened to have been a campsite that is attached to an amusement park. We did morning rides, back to the camper for lunch and naps, out for afternoon rides, then back for supper. Little kids usually went back to the park for fireworks or more little rides while the bigger girls and I hit up the amazing concerts available!
Even though everyone was way over tired and exhausted, everyone seemed pretty happy because they just wanted to keep doing things. This made life easier for me!
I also made SURE that I did not forget my hormone loving oils and supplements.......HUGE difference that made! No crazy mom syndrome on this trip!
We were located in a great spot across the road from the bathroom and showers. A five minute walk from the shuttle for concerts and about eight minutes walk to the park. Close enough to see fireworks from our picnic table but far enough to not have a ton of noise.
Overall, this trip was much more "fun"! My kiddos did try to kill me on some of the roller coasters and other rides but it was still fun! I am SO glad that we decided to make a focused effort on fun with our kiddos this year!
We are already planning our Kingdom Bound 2019 trip. We need to bring friends this time.....ones with roller coaster loving kids because this momma ain't doing that again ;)
