Hi again lovely ladies,
OH & i are going camping this saturday (we only booked it today, very, very last minute!) Im worrying about so much!
We are going with his 9 year old daughter, & my nearly 19 month old son. All we have so far is a tent!! (& even that hasnt been collected from the store yet!) I plan to take my LOs travel cot, but what else will he need sleepwise? He usually sleeps in a nappy & a GroBag at home in this weather. OHs DD will be on a camp bed in a sleeping bag. OH & i need to purchase a double airbed & a double sleeping bag. I think everyones pretty much sorted sleepwise- just my LO! & how did your LOs sleep in a tent for the first time? Im so worried its going to unsettle him & the trip is going to be a disaster! He is normally a good sleeper though.
What else do we need to buy? Are camping chairs necessary? Cooking equipment? Oh gosh in a panic!!
Also, im researching online 'things to do in the area' & making a list of 'rainy day ideas' & 'sunny day ideas', as there isnt anything on site. But what do you do of an evening when the kids are in bed? Especially if its raining (which hopefully it isnt!)
Please share your comments/experiences/advice... Im getting in such a state! I thought we had weeks to plan this trip, but OH can only get next week off work!
Thanks for reading
