How we camp with 4 kids

8/22/2018

42 Comments

 
Camping is one of my girls’ favorite things to do but, in the past, when it came to bed time, we struggled. Thanks to Coleman we have a completely new outlook on camping. So many of their products are amazing but I cannot rave enough about their SunDome 6 person tent. It really is a game changer! In Alaska the sun hardly sets in the summer which means endless fun but also endless light to try and sleep through. When we first got this tent and read that it blocks out 90% of light I was hesitant to believe it. We popped it up in our backyard, in the middle of the day, to test it out and holy cow was I shocked!! It was DARK inside!! I am not talking “wow, that pretty dark for a tent” I’m talking “dark as my kids’ rooms with blackout curtains” dark! It’s a little weird to admit but I was instantly as giddy as the kids and couldn’t stop thinking about all the places we were going to travel because of this tent. Not only that but we will be able to go on longer caping trip because we wont get burned out from exhaustion! It’s a huge blessing!! The girls and I slept out in the yard the first night we received the tent and, no kidding, we slept until 8:00 am!!! The only reason we woke up then was because our neighbor was using a chainsaw to cut some trees down. Convenient huh?? Haha.
After trying out the tent in the back yard we couldn’t wait to take it out on a real trip! I had to laugh, one of my favorite things to do when we are camping is lay in the tent and read books, when we had the tent completely zipped up it was too dark to read. I have never had that issue before! Luckily there are multiple windows you can open to let some light in.
I have to admit, this was by far the fanciest camping trip I have been on. We not only had a tent that let us sleep peacefully but we have a huge cooler, and a stand up grill to cook our meals on. I think this is the closest to Glamping I have ever been and I was more than okay with it!! We are typically roughing it more or less when we go camping. All our meals are simple and shelf stable. Having a big cooler on the trip was such a great bonus! We were able to bring tons of fresh fruit and veggies. Wyatt’s favorite by far was the watermelon!

Our family has been planning on doing a big road trip around Alaska and camping in a few different towns but we kind of put that goal on hold this summer because Wyatt wasn’t doing the best sleeping in light conditions. We were scared that the whole trip would just kind of explode. I can’t even express how excited I am that these products from Coleman have put up back on track. It is going to be so wonderful to show our girls as much of Alaska as possible but even more wonderful to be able to do it in a really comfortable way! The 85 QT Supper Cooler can hold ice for 7 days and is plenty big to hold a good about of groceries. This means that we will be able to bring all the fruits and veggies our heart desires! I also think having the RoadTrip Grill will help the girls get less burned out on camping food. Haha. I mean, I love foil dinners but it gets a little old after the first couple nights. I really cant wait to update y’all once that trip happens!!
Below I have added easy to find links for each of the products we use so y’all can grab them for yourselves! I really hope this helps give ‘all the push you might be needing to get out and camp with your kids!!

Wow! Thanks for a very informative post. I've been hearing a lot of raves from my friends about Coleman Sun Dome 6 person tent and they've been bugging me to get one. I'm a fan of Coleman and their products are always amazing. Your post just made me decide to get a darkroom tent for our next camping trip. Do you have any suggestions on what other things should I get from Coleman's? I heard that their grills and coolers are the best for long travels. Can't wait to hear more from you.

The world is such an enormous place. Well, it does not take a genius to know that it is impossible to travel it in one lifetime. This is a really depressing thought wouldn't you say? Personally, I would have loved to be able to travel the entire world, but it is just not possible. I am in the climax of my life and I still dreaming of doing this act. I hope that people never stop dreaming of traveling the world.

I don't think that I can read that book without feeling an intense feeling of romance. I don't know what could be the reason why they produced this book, but they just made a right decision Many people love Italy so much and this book will somehow bring them to the said country. I haven't read the book yet but the reviews I got from the internet keep on saying that they feel in love with the characters and the story itself! I am looking forward to have that book on my hand!

As far as time travel as a scientific possibility – it has already happened. When an astronaut goes into space and travels as fast as spacecraft actually travel when he or she comes back, they are actually a fraction of a second younger than they would have had they stayed on Earth. Not very impressive, I understand. But based on Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, time slows as speed increases. So if you could travel at the speed of light in a spacecraft, you would age slower than you would on Earth.

Winter is the best time to trekking in Nepal for mountain chains views. I have organized and done many trekking in winter and all of my clients were happy to be in Nepal at those moments. Because, the weather was perfect! But, sometimes, it was little bit colder as it was the winter.

I totally agree with you when it comes to travelling. Life is too short! I've always been so passionate about travelling. If only I could travel as much as I can every year, I would. Learning is very essential when travelling. Meeting new people and getting to know about their culture and way of life is a must. Whenever I travel, I try to make sure to follow an off beaten path. The more locals the better, I believe it's the best way to learn more about the place. Travelling sure makes us love our life more. So, I suggest you to pack your bags and take that trip you always wanted to take!

With these activities I feel closer to the nature and not wanting to return to the busy world I am in. They make me relax and free of stress. It makes me forget everything especially load of works I left at the office. We always do hiking and climbing once every three months. It is my and my friend’s scapegoat with work and problems and also good to your health.

As you travel and discover new places, you will also have opportunities to witness how you are so blessed to have so many things compare to other people. In some cases, they are happier than you. It only reflects the simplicity of their lives. That is why traveling helps me to understand more the essence of life, it helps me to widen my perspective to look the positive side of this world.

Traveling can be fun during midnight. I mean, sure, people love traveling during the day, but there are also spots to explore during the night. I am not really fond of beaches, which is why I love exploring during the night. If you ask me, there are a lot of benefits in traveling in the night. First of all, you get shaded by the sky. You can never get sunburn. You can also see the stars during the night time.

Travelling is something we all want to experience in our lives. Whether it be to another country or even just an out of town trip, we all want and need to get away from the daily grind. It is difficult, though, to travel seeing as it is expensive. It is great to know that anyone can travel at any time if they realize that just by walking out of your house or your drive to work is an adventure all on its own. We may not always have the luxury to travel to different places and destinations, but we can still experience the feeling of travelling in our daily lives.

I like the idea of turning the field trip into a fun game. My kid is going on his first field trip and I want him to have a good time. After all, kids remember hands-on experiences more than what they hear in the classroom.

I think Camping with your baby can be a lot of fun and can be a special time between you and your baby. Babies adjust easily and seem to enjoy the new sights and sounds of camping. There are many items made for a baby and for use with a baby on a camping trip. Thanks for the amazing information.
