The CK Daily – Family Camping Trips!
Happy Holy Week!
I’m happy to report we survived our camping trip, and everyone had a great time! The first day was a bit dodgy as there were some massive storms in our area, but we were fortunate enough to be able to set up camp before the storms hit. At our campsite, it didn’t rain until midnight, so we were able to enjoy our first day without any issues. The storms that night were both beautiful and terrifying, but my daughters slept through them, and for the most part, I enjoyed the light show that was happening outside. The tent held up well and didn’t experience any leaks.
The only thing we did not anticipate was how cold it would get at night. We knew it would be cold, but for whatever reason didn’t realize how cold it would actually be around 2 or 3 in the morning. Luckily I packed quite a few large hot hands (chemical hand warmers) and threw a bunch of those under our blankets and that seemed to have helped a ton. Next time we’ll bring more blankets than we think we need!
It was nice to disconnect for a few days and spend time with the family. Happy to report that this won’t be our last family camping trip. We’re already talking about possibly having another adventure in the summer… but I’m not looking forward to the heat! Hope you all have a great week and enjoy the spring… I encourage you to try camping with your family, even if it’s a short trip!
