Camping with a 3 year old = no sleep!

Our family recently returned from our annual camping trip and I am already looking forward to next year!

For the past three years we have had a group of friends that get together for a weekend camping trip that includes 15 of us (8 adults and 7 young children) sharing a group camp site. With busy lives that prevents us all from getting together on a regular basis, this weekend is a great time for relaxing and catching up with friends. The kids always have a great time playing together as well.

Campfires that last into the wee hours of the morning and little ones up at sunset can lead to major exhaustion, but it is all worth it. It doesn’t matter if we are hiking through the woods, fishing off the dock, or just talking while we watch the kids play, this weekend forces everyone to slow down and enjoy the time together.

I encourage you to make your own annual family get together that allows you to take a break from all the busyness and truly enjoy some quality time with family and friends.

I would love to hear how your family slows down and unplugs during the summer!
