I would like to purchase a family camping tent for my husband and kids - only problem, I don't know ANYTHING about camping! I know I would like a 2 or 3 room tent, but I would like to be able to stand up in the side rooms. Some of the tents I have looked at it appears that you must "crawl" into the side tents. Is this a common thing? Also what do you suggest I purchase as necessities along with the tent? Sleeping bags, cots, stove? Any help is greatly appreciated, again I have never in my life camped so this is completely new to me.
What are some things that you find essential for camping? Things that you don't leave home without???

ok so im watching 2, 3 year olds tonight i need some good ideas for crafts and fun things to do please help me. they are both boys.
Answer
** play outside- go into the backyard and swing or whatever
** making cards for mom or dad
** go for a walk around the block- this is fun at night if you take flashlights and catch fireflies.
** make a music video- choose a fun song and make a funny video to it.
** have a picnic outside with a couple neighbor kids- eat mac & cheese, hot dogs, and milk outside on blankets and then let the neighbor kids play for a while.
** go to a park- run off that energy that all young boys have...
** make cookies- my kids love making cookies :)!
** watch funny movies (Shrek, Cars, etc.)- make popcorn and set up sleeping bags in the living room!
** make a series of obstacle courses and have relay races- do this outside! great way to burn off steam..
** have a camp-out in the living room- set up a tent or make a tent with a card table and blankets and sleep in it
