RV Camping Checklist/ kids?

Q. We are going to spend 3 days at Lake Rudolph Campsite, in a rented R.V. We will be going to Holiday World too. I have never been "camping" if that 's what you want to call it. Does anyone have a camping checklist , especially for traveling with children, ages 5 and !, or tips, thanks.


Answer
Want I did when I had a 1 1/2 yrs old with me and a 6yrs was set a tent outside the RV and put alot of different toys in there. And let them play in the tent when we was out side.
Hope this help.

Where is the best campground for TENT camping in Salida Colorado?




Shoshanna


Taking a family camping trip with a tent to Salida CO. We would like to do some fishing, hiking and possibly some horseback riding.


Answer
Hecla Junction is a great area to camp near Salida. It is off the main roads and set up against the Arkansas River. The fishing there is great and so is the scenery. It is managed by Colorado State Parks, so there is a fee to stay. The tent pads are large and level. There are also pit toilets which are nice when camping with kids and ladies. If your looking for a whitewater rafting adventure check out the Bighorn Sheep Canyon section of river just downstream of Salida by an hour. It is much more exciting and far less crowded than Browns. It is also great for kids! Have Fun!

Camping this weekend - with kids?




ariesalway


tent camping 5yr old and 3 yr old. Going with another family also. We've been before but love to refresh my mind about the little things Im gonna foget.
easy foods, snacks, games...ect..??



Answer
Make sure the kids have a way to get to their own snacks and drinks while you are walking. Little bags of trail mix can be customized - cheerios and pretzels for one, cheetos and peanuts for the other...you get the idea.

Make sure they have something to do other than just walk - a game like 'find the squirrel' or "who can find the most different leaves" is fun and educational - so long as you aren't in a rush.

When mine get tired I use my walking stick and play "little engine" - have them grab one end of the stick and move it in a circle like a train's wheels "I think I can, I think I can" will get the tiredest kids moving and get their minds off being tired - for a minute anyway.

Have a plan for rain! Gear up and take some imagination toys - dolls, action figures whatever the kids like.

Around the campsite the kids might like to make "fairy houses". Use sticks, acorns, bark, leaves and other found items to make little homes that can just decorate the forest...you might be surprised how creative the kids can be.

Take a small "boo-boo" kit - neosporin, Dora bandaids, etc.

Give the kids jobs at dinner time or set-up time - carry water, hand you tent stakes, gather wood, etc. They'll be under your feet otherwise.

Make sure the kids have a whistle around their neck just in case they wander off - they can blow a whistle louder and longer than they can yell.

Let the kids each have a flashlight at bedtime - it's fun and makes them feel safer. Show them how it works and take extra batteries - they'll probably leave it on all night.

I'm leaving out all the regular stuff - food, sunscreen, bug spray, toothbrush/toothpaste, stuffed animal to sleep with, tent, clean undies, etc. I'm assuming that bit is covered. Just sharing some things we do when we camp.

What tent should I buy?




MamaB


Looking to buy a tent. In addition to myself and my husband we have two boys, ages 5 and 7, and a baby girl, age 15 months. I know I want a big "family" tent, with a screen porch. I have narrowed it down to 3, after researching on line. The price difference is big. One is only $150.00 and one is almost $400.00. Are certain brands better than others? What features should I look for? Thanks!


Answer
http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___21597

Great ventilation is provided by 5 windows and a mesh ceiling. The rugged poly floor will never let you down and the taped fly seams will keep water outside where it belongs. The screenroom offers a nice place for the kids to play or a great place to relax after the kids have gone to bed. This is a another great tent from Coleman for the whole family for either a short or extended trip.

Why is San Francisco needing to control what we feed our kids by banning Happy Meals?

kids tent set on DISCOVEY-KIDS-PLAY-TENT-TUNNEL-SET-Children-Boy-Girl-KIDS-TOYS-FUN-HUT ...

4woods@att


A great example of Big Government. Most parents control their own kids eating and if they don't it's not the governments business.
I understand you can't get the toy and that's why is so stupid, so why even do it. My kids loved the whole Happy Meal and I controlled how often we went.
Mr Wordy and Mad Max.....it's not up to the gov to control it. Just another facet of them thinking they know what's best for you.
Again, a business shouldn't be told how to market and what they offer.
IT'S UP TO THE PARENTS



Answer
The camels nose is under the flap of the tent in San Francisco. Banning toys is a meaningless gesture, but it is setting a dangerous precedent. The are declaring that the government can tell a business how they can operate. How does a toy in a happy meal effect the nutritional value of the food supplied. Are they lo dim witted that they think that people go there to get the toys and item that McDonald's probably get for a dime a dozen. The best reason to ban the toys is if they were hazardous waste,

What would be some good things for an Easter Party I am setting up for extended family?




Adamismyna


I am hosting one this year and I am 28, single. It will be kids but only 1 little kid (Easter Bunny aged) the rest are junior high and high school. Some will come and others might not but I wanted to make enjoyable activities.


Answer
List of things to do for an Easter Party

Mummy: Need rolls of toilet paper, one per person. You can form teams to see who is the fastest dressing their mummy (other person) or just let them have fun. This can be very messy with the dust from the toilet paper and the paper fight afterwards.

Picky Marshmallow Relay: Need toothpicks, one per child and one marshmallow per team. The marshmallow is placed on the end of the first persons toothpick. They hold the toothpick in their mouth and try to pass it to the next person in line using only the toothpicks in their mouths.

Clothes Pin 7-Ups: 7 clothes pins per person. Clip clothes pins on the backs of all players and have them face each other in a circle (outside). At the mention of "GO" they each run around trying to get the clothes pins off each others backs. No grabbing and holding on to the other persons.

Talent Show: Video the kids performing to music. Lip sync is fun or air guitar/sax etc.

Nighttime Easter Egg Hunt: Hide eggs and prizes outside. Everyone brings a flashlight to the party. Hide items like fingernail polish, body mists, not just candy.

Piggly-Wiggly: Everyone lays out their sleeping bags. Choose someone to be "it." They must leave the room. Everyone else hides inside the sleeping bags (not their own). When they are ready, "it" comes back in. She sits on one of the sleeping bags and says, "Piggly-Wiggly" the person inside says "oink, oink." 'It' must guess who is inside the bag. If they are right, the person in the bag is it.

Rock and Roll: When your having a slumber party and going to a roller-skating rink is out of the question, make a skating rink in the garage. Parents can back out their cars and take out other stuff in the way so there is room to skate. You can also have music and a snack bar!

Hip hats: Decorate denim hats with jewels and sparkle puff paints and wear them around the next day.

Puffy pillows: Decorate plain white pillowcases with puffy paint. Let them dry overnight.

Popcorn Toppin': Pop some plain popcorn. Give everybody a couple of dishes with popcorn in them. Have your guests put on all the toppings you want. For example, cinnamon and sugar, raisins, melted butter, pizza seasoning, and parmesan cheese to make a pizza kind o' popcorn.

Curly-Cute: Make rag curls in your friends' hair. Take pieces of fabric and wrap hair around them. When you wake up you hair will be all curly.

We Had A Ball: At the end of the slumber party, sit in a circle and sign beach balls with a waterproof marker. Write all about the good times you had together at the sleepover.

Burglar Alarm: Set a little timer and have everyone go out of the room. One person stays in and hides the timer. Then the other children come back in and try to find the timer before it goes off. Whoever finds it might get some kind of prize.

Set up a craft table to make bracelets.

Have a pajamas contest! See who has the best pajamas!

Watch some fun movies.

Pillow fights.

Make smores!!!!!!!!!!
Serve whipped cream and fruit on waffles in the morning.
See if you can borrow a kareoke machine so you can sing along to music.

Do makeovers!

Make rice krispie treats.

Make your own sundae!

Popcorn fights, if you have a vacuum handy.

Decorate some cutie pie cupcakes.

Play boardgames.

Decorate pillowcases with fabric markers...this way they can use them that night. Put on date, etc.

Shaving cream fight out side.

Play telephone.

Have a talent show!

Wacky fashion show!

Have a "theme" for the slumber party such as spa slumber party (perfect for all girls), spooky slumber party, survival slumber party, etc.

Do pedicures.

Think of unusual places to sleep: the attic, a tree house, a tent outside in your back yard.
Scavenger hunts.

I want to take her some place secluded and away from everything. She has never gone fishing and she wants to go this weekend. She also loves the outdoors with all of the trees and wildlife. So if you know of any place where we can pitch a tent and set up a little grill, that is away from traffic and the rest of the world, please let me know.

How to throw a neighboorhood party???




katieinok


I would like to be brave this year and get to know my neighbors in my cul-de-sac (about 10 house) and thought it would be fun to do a cookout this summer. Like getting some tables and a tent and setting them up in the middle of the cul-de-sac. What are some good ideas? I really am clueless.


Answer
Have activities for the children - parents will be more relaxed and can have more fun if the kids are safely occupied.
BBQ also helps because it gives ppl a chance to mingle as the meal is being prepared.

Don't forget safety - nothing is more off-putting than watching flies descend on lunch.

Get music - involve the teenagers and let them pick the music. They'll have fun with that.

ENJOY!

How do I keep kids entertained while babysitting?

kids tent set on Kids Authority spider Tunnel play tent  Your Kids Entertaining ...
kids tent set image
Q. I'm volunteering @ a camp, & when camp is over, I baby sit until the parents get off from work. The kids find TV & internet boring after awhile, & sometimes, they want to go somewhere, like the park or something but we can't because of too many kids to fit in the car. How do I keep them entertained?

& every 2 hours, they're hungry. I feed them meals & give them snacks, & 2 hours later, they're whining about hunger.

I understand they get bored by doing the same thing all the time, but how can I make some variety? They don't even like to read. The ages range from 3-17, & sadly the kids 10 & under have better behavior than the kids over 10. & the teenagers are setting a bad example for them.

They get so bored that they become angry & then take their anger out on each other & start fighting, & I have to punish them. I try to do things with them, & they whine, saying "We don't like that. That's lame."


Answer
When I used to babysit, I used to have this giant boot box that I would carry fun stuff to do it, such as: tons of stickers, crayons, books, construction paper, origami supplies (for the older kids), coloring books, some of my favorite movies from childhood, etc. One activity that I used to do with kids of all ages was to make tshirts. I'd buy a pack of plain white shirts, a variety of colors in paint for fabric (now there are even fabric markers), and some throw away stencils. All in all, it'd cost me about 20 bucks. I'd break down some old cardboard boxes and stretch the shirts over the top (to give a flat work area) and let the kids go to town on them. Clean up is a snap if you spread an old sheet on the ground and do it outside in the backyard. It was always fun. When babysitting at night, I used to bring my dad's old 3 person camping tent and set it up in the living room all of us would pretend we were camping. We'd make a construction paper campfire, eat raw marshmallows and popcorn, and tell stories.
Just be creative and excited about the activities that you are doing and the kids and you will have a great time.

what games could i have at my wedding reception to entertain guests and especially kids?




lynn


I want to have a fun relaxed wedding reception (with about 200 guests.) It is going to be outside under a tent on a big lawn at a golf course and there is a putting green next to it that i want to bring golf balls, putters and pitching wedges for people to use. I was also wanting to set up something fun for kids to play with thats not messy (i.e. no craft table) or too expensive (i wish we could get a bouncy house.) Any ideas?

I don't know how many kids you plan on having but im am getting these for my flower girls they come with crayons so hopefully this will keep them having fun. If not then hire a "baby sitter" if your having over 10 kids you will pry want one anyway. parents tend to let their kids run around and not always keep them under control but if you give someone that as their job they can have the kids play tag.. or play other little games in a circle so that they are not being destructive
