Q. ok so in august i am taking my batch of four to a lovely campsite in cornwall uk
i will be 6 months pregnant - so pretty big
questions
portable toilets - the campsite does have loo's but as i'm pregnant and have a 3 and 4 yr old boys
are they good, has anyone used them , are they easy to empty ?
camping in my condition - has anybody else camped pregnant ?
airbeds - are they comfy i got ones for the whole family ?
any tips on how to keep warm ? for anyone that lives or has been to cornwall - you'll know that even in summer weather temperamental)
and because my badgering me to do it after some bloke in the pub told him about it - tent sex, we have a 12 man tent so it would not be in front of the kids - there once there asleep , there asleep kinda kids - has anyone done it, is it alright ?

Answer
Camping in your condition? YOU KNOW--- listen to your body--you can do just about anything you want! Toilets? Plumbing is great, but sometimes we don't have it. Just take lots of paper to keep clean and don't be afraid of your waste products, it's not that big of a deal. Air beds? YES--comfortable,, remember not to inflate them all the way, go about 3/4, and to KEEP WARM-- be sure to put blankets UNDER you as well as on top. As for having sex in the tent with the kids nearby, I can kind of see it both ways--to some it seems a little uncool, but I remember when my kids were that age--hell, you could drop a bomb in their shorts and they wouldn't wake up! I say---if you keep it just a little quieter than normal, go for it and have fun! Camping Sex in a tent is great and very memorable! A nice little spinoff, no worries about getting pregnant....

any dog friendly holidays? (UK only)?

Sarah

Answer
there's loads, you can rent a dog friendly caravan or a cottage by the sea then take your dog to the beach, let him swim or have a paddle in the sea, throw him a ball on the beach, meeting other dogs, give him a walk on the beach, buy an ice cream and give him a bit, or have a bbq and give him a burger and a sausage =]

or your dog camping, i took mine, we got him a dog tent and a dog sleeping bag although he didn't like his sleeping bag zipped up so he was in it, we had a bbq and gave him a burger, sausage and chicken wing, we also let him join in in our activities, he came on a hike with us, he came swimming with us in the lake and he even came cycling, i brought a little trailer what you add to the back of your bike what little kids sit in and he went in there xD

what are good sites in central Illinois for tent camping with kids, 5 and 8?

dansmith12

I want to take my niece and nephew, along with my sister and brother in law, tent camping. the kids have done backyard camp outs in a little tent last summer, my sister is not real big on camping and the kids are little. so I need a place with real toilets and showers a playground and possibly a pool or lake for swimming. The problem is so many of the more commercial campgrounds that offer these amenities are geared more towards rv's and aren't particularly tent friendly.I live in Peoria and My sister lives in Bloomington. so that is the region we are looking at

Answer
Hi!
Shawnee national forest

http://www.destination360.com/north-america/us/illinois/illinois-camping

Yes! As long as the kids know not to take food into your tent and what to do if they do see a bear.

theme for kids party?

sissie

I'm planing to do a BDAY party for my son, I was thinking of doing spiderman theme.
So, how can I decorate the place, from candy bags to table decoration?
I will really appreciate the help ((:

Answer
The color theme for this party is red and black. Cover your table with a white sheet for easy cleaning. Then run some red and black streamers down the center of the table. Make a centerpiece with a Spiderman toy, the birthday cake, or a bouquet of balloons placed inside a Spiderman gift bag. Scatter some toy spiders around the table. Add matching plates, napkins and cups. Hang a few Spiderman posters, balloons and matching streamers. For a fun effect use black streamers to create a web hanging from your ceiling.

You can also make fun "spider treats"...one way is to melt chocolate and add chow mein noodles and remove using 2 forks to grab the clump...add 2 mini M&M's for eyes and let dry on wax paper or foil.

Another way is to use Oreo cookies: add pieces of cut skinny licorice for legs on each side poked into cookie cream...."paste" 2 Mini M&M's for eyes on with frosting.

I'm sure there must be gift bags in Spiderman theme at party goods store. Fill with tattoos, candies, a toy like a mini Slinky--hand out coloring books of Spiderman or whatever you can find in the stores.As the big treat, guest gets a Spiderman book or a Spiderman tooth brush. Each bag has Spiderman fruit snacks, Spiderman Cheese Snacks, Spiderman stickers, Spiderman fruit roll-ups, and a Spiderman CD filled with Spidey songs....are some ideas.

A Spiderman Pinata is another idea for activity to do.

Play a Spidey Game:

Spiderman Web Walk
To Make: On black construction paper draw webs with Elmers Glue. Then sprinkle glitter on the webs. Let the webs dry. Once they have dried, cut off the excess black area. Laminate the webs. Tape bad characters on all the webs, except one. Place spiderman on one of the webs.

How to play:
Each player stands on web. music begins and all players walk on the web. When the music stops, draw a character. Person standing on that character must sit down. Keep playing till all characters have been drawn. The last person standing will be standing on Spiderman and is the winner. Play again!

As an activity: Buy some cheap shower curtains from dollar store...have kids decorate them as capes to wear during the party....Have children decorate a mask to make their own superhero mask. Use stickers, stamps, crayons, and markers.

Spiderman Catch a Bad Guy Relay
Split players into two teams. Each player must put on the cape, go through the spider cave (tunnel), shoot a bad guy with silly string, and into the Spiderhut (a pop-up Spiderman tent). Each tent has pictures of bad guys in it. Each player must grab a bad guy, go back through the spidercave, and then take off the cape and give it to the next person. Repeat till each team member has had a turn.

Another game idea: 1.) Play Sandman, Sandman - He or she sits in a chair with their back to the group. A Spiderman doll or picture is placed under the chosen personâs chair. Then everyone would sing: Sandman, Sandman where has Spiderman gone? Somebody's saved him and he has swung home. Then Sandman has three chances to guess who took Spiderman. If Sandman guesses right then he gets to do it again. If Sandman guesses wrong than the person who had Spiderman gets a turn as the sandman.

Get a poster from Walmart...cut out Spiderman and attach to sturdy cardstock to post on mailbox so guests know where party is.

Im babysitting! KID GETS BORD EASY!?

lexa

im babysitting a kid and she is 8 and almost 9. i take her to the pool every nice day but i want to know some new things to do. we do fun stuff but after this whole summer the games we play together to pass time get old. what are some fresh new ideas for outside on sunny days. but most importantly fun things to do on stormy and windy days!!!

P.S. please dont say take her to the pool, ialready inderstand that. also think of activities for the state of ohio.

Answer
I've worked with kids for a while. Here are some ideas that kids like.

1. Make bird feeders to hang outside. Coat a pine cone with peanut butter, roll in birdseed, and hang from a tree. Birds love them, and it's a good way to spend an hour.

2. Make a mini-golf course to use inside. Use plastic cups for holes, paper towel tubes for tunnels, and a box and pinwheel for a windmill. Better yet, have her help you make it and let her decorate the setup. You can buy toy clubs and balls at any store.

3. Scrapbooking. Get the kid a disposable camera and let her take pictures about her life or on a trip with you. Then, you and she can crop and put together pages and make her very own scrapbook.

4. If you're near a zoo, go to the zoo. Kids love animals! Again, take a camera and let her take her own pictures.

5. Teach her card games like Go Fish or 500. Try clock solitaire. Get a book of card tricks from the library and work on them together.

6. While we're on the subject...LIBRARY! Never underestimate the power of the library! She can browse the kids' books, some libraries have computer games for kids to play, sections with toys, and most places I know have videos and DVDs for you to check out.

7. Living History museum. If there's one in your area, then ten to one she'll love it. You get to dress as a person from the time period the museum is about, try little projects, and make souvenirs.

8. Paper Dolls. There are printables available on the internet, and all you have to do is glue them to card stock, give her the clothes to color, cut them out, and you have paper dolls. Or, you can make your own from magazines.

9. Make a castle. Drape a sheet or two over a table after moving the chairs away, and you have a castle/fort/hideaway/tent, etc. You can "camp out" and have a lunch in your tent or a feast in your castle. Take the fun even further and dress up as princesses with crowns and dresses and jewelry.

10. Print coloring pages from the internet. They beat coloring books hands down, and even more fun for the kid is to let her choose her own.

Basically, all you have to do is use your imagination. Be creative. Good luck.

How to assemble a big family camping tent?

Stella

I have ordered a 8 man family tent at an online store and I wonder how to assemble such a big tent? Will it cost too much time to setup?

Answer
1. Choose a level site that is free of rocks, sticks and other debris. Spread the tent out with the floor side down. Unzip all doors.

2. Extend the tent poles by pulling out each section and inserting it into the metal ferrules. Start in the middle of the pole to reduce tension on the internal string. Set the extended poles aside.

3. Locate the center hub on the center roof of the tent. If it is not already attached to your tent model, attach it with an "s" hook.

4. Take one tent pole and slide it through one of the sleeves on the tent wall. Insert the top of the pole into one of the openings in the center hub. Repeat with the remaining tent poles.

5. Enter the tent and lift the roof by raising the center hub. The roof and tent poles will be off of the ground. One adult stays in the tent while the other works outside. Flex one of the tent poles and place the free end into the metal pin at the base of the tent. The tent pole should follow the seam line of the tent. Repeat with the remaining tent poles.

6. Attach the tent to the tent pole frame. Clip the plastic clips that are sewn to the tent walls to the tent poles. If your tent has Velcro straps instead of clips, attach the Velcro straps to the tent pole frame.

7. Stake down the tent by inserting the tent stakes through the stake loops at each corner of the tent. Pull the tent floor even and tight. Hammer the stakes into the ground at a 45 degree angle.

8. Attach the rain fly. Place the rain fly over the tent. Attach the hooks on the corners of the rain fly to the metal rings on the tent corners. If your rain fly has an additional fly pole, slide it through the sleeve at the edge of the rain fly awning. Insert each pole end into the grommets on each side of the door.

which 2 person tent? please help?

Josh

need to buy a 2 person tent for some camping. Mainly car camping so not really backpacking. I am looking at one of these two:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043HM5M2/ref=s9_simh_gw_p200_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0W4AEST4BY4MPV5E260H&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

which one would you prefer? Thanks in advance!
figured amazon link would be sufficient enough, but here they are:

Eureka Apex 2XT FG Backpacking Tent

Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent
Thanks

Answer
There is a big weight difference between these two, almost 4lbs. Also a 2 pole dome design verses a single pole both are 3 season tents the Coleman is a full mesh so for hot starry nights the better tent both have equvilant guarantees and reputations for me as a backpacker weight is criticle I would choose the Apex.

Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.

Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.

For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.

Domes, Tunnels and Sacks
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.

Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.

Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.

How does the Book Water for Elephants end?

Q. I read most of it but haven't found time to finish it...i just want to know how it ends...i read up until Marlena left the train and was hiding out in the hotel room.

Answer
Marlena goes back to the circus....not to go back to August but to perform. And Jacob sneaks back and sees that a bunch of the fired/red-lighted workers have come back to sabatage the show. They free all the animals in the managerie and it causes a stampede. Jacob runs to Rosie's tent to find Marlena, who is cornered by August who is trying to ... strangle her I think...Rosie is there also and picks her stake up out of the groud and bashes Augusts head in. And Jacob and Marlena go to work for the Ringling Bros circus and have a bunch of kids...some of them grow up in the circus but they eventually stop travelling with the circus and get a home.

We know from the beginning of the story that Marlena dies before Jacob...and he's travelled across the street to the circus since his son forgot it was his day to hang out with him. It takes him so much time just to walk across the street that the circus is over but he ends up talking to one of the workers and tells him he worked on the Zambini Bros circus...the guy knows a lot of historical circuses and knows about the stampeded disaster and it's sort of unofficially decided that the man agrees to take the old Jacob alone on the circus.

Anybody have a tent for their cat?

HobbesMom

Last weekend I went out to the Columbus Pet Expo here in Ohio. Among several toys and other things, I actually got a small tent for my cat! I think it's adorable (it looks like an elephant and is actually a kids' tent), and set it up in my living room. Here's a pic of the same tent I bought:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Elephant-Tent-Playhouse-Indoor-Outdoor-Play-House-Hut_W0QQitemZ130090150035QQcategoryZ11744QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The back has a nice big opening, the two feet in front unzip into kitty-sized entrances, and the ear flaps on the sides roll up revealing two screened windows. I put some blankets and toys inside, and my cat loves it! It's her own little fort. It's safe and sets up anywhere with just 2 tent poles on the inside.

Has anybody else out there tried this or something similar with their cat or kitten?

Answer
Yeah! My kitty loves hers.. Well... Loves destroying it... And I also got her a little privacy curtain for her litterbox. She loves it.

(She carries around the tentpoles and leaves them in the closet)

What is the best way to keep kids happy?

doodledo

Answer
Keep them busy. Repeat after me....Busy kids are happy kids. Busy kids are happy kids. Busy kids are happy kids.

The best part is that after all of their activity they usually are ready to wind down with a nap, a break for mom! Yay!

Busy activities - park, walk, play in sand, play in water, bath fun, videos, playdoh, craft projects, coloring, painting, baking cookies, cleaning projects, gardening projects, trip to ice cream parlor, sidewalk chalk, jump roap, bike ride, empty and rearrange kitchen cabinets (mine love playing w/ pots & pans and canned goods), McDonald's playland, cooking projects, play with pets, play with giant balls - use blanket like a parachute, have races & relays, play dress up, build tent in living room w/ blankets, camp out in back yard... The possibilities are endless.

Try to plan 2 activities a day and a nap. They should be happy!

How to get more customers to come to your tent?

.

I just got a job as a face painter at the zoo. I don't know if I can do my own designs or if I have to do certain designs they have already created. Anyway, I will be getting paid $8.35/hour OR 18% of my commission, whichever one is higher. Obviously, if I make more through commission, I can be making like $10.00/hour.

So, what can I do to make more business and attract more people to my tent (kids especially).

Serious answers, please. Thanks.
Whichever paycheck is higher in he end***

Answer
I thought "come to your tent" was a metaphore...

I assume the operators have done their part in setting up promotional aids, sample image boards, signs around the zoo if allowed.

One recommendation, if things are going slowly, give a couple away for free to who would act as walking billboards.

Why are Christians against birth control, or any form of contraceptives?

Sheree

This has puzzled me for the last few years. I understand that we are to procreate, but lets be "real".

I was watching local news, and they did a story about small family drug stores that don't sale contraceptives because of their religion.

Now picture this. I attend a fairly large church. There is an average of 3 kids per family. Do you see where I'm going? So the parents only had sex 3 times throughout their entire marriage? I highly doubt! They are using some form of BC, either it's withdrawal, plan B, etc.

To add to my confusion, I attended a camping trip with my preacher and his wife. I had a tent with the wife, and soon found out that she was indeed on birth control.

Someone please answer my question, and please don't use Genesis 38:10. Thanks in advance ;)
I know you don't get pregnant every time you have sex! That was an obvious, so I really didn't bother to state it! I'm talking about older people in church. i was in Sunday School one day (with the elders) and they talked about how they wanted to have a set amount of kids, and everyone said Amen! They were all trying to imply that they either got their tubes tided, or used BC.

Thanks for bringing up the Catholics, but the people in the news segment were not Catholic.

Answer
I think you are confusing Christians with one particular Christian denomination - namely the Catholics. And they manage to hang the prohibition off of one doubtful verse in the Old Testament.

Do you understand why I am so proud of the peoples in Sri Lanka?

The Real S

In a matter of a few weeks with minimal foreign assistance we have taken people who were camped in tents and driven from one end of the island to the other by a terrorist organization and have them in structured housing
http://www.lankaenews.com/English/news.php?id=7868
The ratio of men and women is very similar and children are being schooled, persons are receiving job training, former LTTE are going through programs to reintegrate into society, residual LTTE elements are being traced, families are being reunited.
http://www.dailynews.lk/2009/06/16/news36.asp
I am pleased to hear that South Korea is so happy with their development model but Sri Lanka's development model is different and I do not believe that it will take 60 years for us to reach a 20K median income. South Korea as every sovereign nation has its own limits but they differ greatly with those of Sri Lanka. I truly enjoy the warm and gracious hospitality of your peoples from both the north and south when I have visited and find that your security forces are very well behaved and maintained. But we are not interested in becoming a little Japan though Japan also has its own charms but admittedly South Korea and North Korea would have been on a much quicker economic development trajectory if not for Japan. We are not so interested in back ending a stream when we are the gateway to the Orient. A few world wars does not change the history of our countries and we always look forward to occasional visits from our distant neighbors but our tropical perspective and cultural ties predicate much of what our growth and development streams are, have been and will continue to be. We will never a large chemical manufacturor for we are more environmentally concerned, we chose when and who develops hospitality on our island for we try to limit those things that conflict with the great and vast spiritual nature of our island. Ship building is not a stream that we need to proceed with in the short term for their are other matters that take precedence and we are well on the way to IT development, We are much more focused on clean industry such as assembly rather than dirty industries such as manufacture. We believe in saving our carbon credits and can possibly offer some for sale as that would be much more along the lines of our future view than creating large carbon expenditures. We would never erode the monuments of our culture and civilization as we have a preservationist mentality.

CHECK DRAFTS NOW GATES/RAJA
Rudukumar should understand that at the end of the year means at the end of 365 days of no violence, no lies and conjecture in the media, no economic terrorism, no fraud, no drug dealing, no arms running, no Selveraj Pathamathan. That year does not begin until the Tamil diaspora SINCERELY apologizes for 30+ years of terror and havoc wreaked on Sri Lanka through diaspora and foreign elements. It also means turning in for prosecution ALL parties that have been conducting such either at home or abroad. The Tamil diaspora is nowhere near step one. I suggest that these terrorists find another country to accomodate them because the Tamils that were born and live in Sri Lanka are Sri Lankans first and foremost. The most that you can attempt is to speak for 800,000 people who collectively terrorised every community including their own at home and abroad. That is not much to stand for so I suggest that you revise your LTTE leanings and give up KP, Castro et al. You are the discriminators not us

What are some activities you do when babysitting?

Zoey

I babysit alot the activities can be for any age of children. I'm just looking for a really long list of activities that are kind of time consuming and a lot of fun, for both me and the kids thanks!

Answer
-Make play dough! http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Salt-Dough-Recipe.html
You can even take a small food storage container (of yours) to have the kids decorate with stickers, etc. that will hold their play dough it.

-Decorate a pillow case/T-shirt/etc..
Bring your accessory that you are going to color on. Take some permanent markers for them to use, but make sure they don't write on anything else- include themselves.

-Go outside!
Play with chalk.
Blow bubbles. (you can even make them)
Take a walk/bike ride
Visit a park
Have a picnic
Bring some water guns
Do a scavenger hunt: Have them find a pink flower, a blue car, etc.

-Have a dance party!
Put some songs like: The Macerana, the twist, chicken dance, hokey pokey, electric slide, etc. on a CD or a playlist on your ipod. Turn off the lights, expect for some dimmed ones or a lamp. Try to get a diso ball. (glow sticks if the kids are above the age of 7) Freeze dance for the little ones!

-Play games!
Hide and seek
Twister
Go fish
Slap Jack
Candy Land
Bowling (use soup cans as pins, and a ball)

-For girls: Do a pedicure!
Take a large bowl, if you have one and put a towel under it. Fill it up with warm water and bubbles/soap. Let her sit on the coach with her feet in the bowl. Massage her feet, then paint her toes.

-Frost cookies!
Make the cookies at your house and take them with to avoid using their stove! Bring along some frosting and sprinkles. Have them decorate their own. Rice krispies also work but are quite messy!

-ColoIring
You can take big poster boards and stamps, stickers, markers... Or you can print off coloring sheets, and have them make their own coloring book. Drawing contests for older kids are always fun!

-Build a "tent!"
Very fun in my opinion. Put chairs in a circle, and lay a big blanket on top! Crawl in and enjoy.
I love going "camping" with this idea. Set up the tent, roast marshmallows in the microwave, do a scavenger hunt, etc.

- Balloon games..
This is only good for kids older than about 5... The little ones can choke on broken balloon pieces. Play "keep it in the air" or do the game with the balloon tied to your ankle. Make sure to clean up!

-Limbo...

-Movie "theater"
Bring 4-5 movies for them to pick from, make tickets, have a concession stand.
A fun idea with this topic is if you can bring some large cardboard boxes to make fake cars out of and have a pretend drive in movie.

Just be creative!!
