Packing for a camping trip often feels like a no-win situation.
You'll need pack lists for different types of trips – there're separate rosters for RV trips, car camping trips, back-country trips, trips where we'll be mountain biking, river rafting, etc. Which type of camping attract you a bit? For me, I prefer the car or family tents camping trip.
Besides, today, I'd like to talk about the family camping. Camping with the family brings to mind a better, simpler time, especially for kids. Camping is especially good for kids, so if you can get them to take their earbuds out for five minutes to listen to a bullfrog calling out at dusk, or convince them that hiking to the top of a peak is not just character-building, but lets you see three states from the summit, they usually will think it's kind of cool. They absolutely will not admit this until they are 35 and want to sell off their own children, however. You must be patient.
I can clearly rememeber now. Two years ago, I took my kids camping so they can know the Big Dipper really exists, and they can hear real birds sing, not just cuckoos. But once I got out there, I realized I am no professional entertainer, I need these camping "toys" to help me. All of them fit into a kid's backpack. I don't hope that you have the same situation with me.
Here, I make a summary after my failed camping, hope that you can benifit from them. It's quite necessary to make a careful packing lists for you and your kids. There're 10 kids camping gears you can consider, camping lantern, camping tents, flashlight or headlamps, bug jar or kit(At night the fireflies turn it into a twinkling lantern. How magical is that?), compass(To show a kid how to use a compass with a map and he will learn a skill), star finder, water bottles, binoculars, whistle (a LOUD one to make sure your kids are around you), sunglasses(as they are more vulnerable to solar radiation since their eyes protective pigments are not fully developed).

A Summer Garden Party
The summer vacation is just around the corner. Have you thought that how to spend a wonderful time with your sworn brothers or sisters? Or how do you plan to prepare a wonderful party for you children? Here is a great way to celebrate with your friends for you, that is to have a summer garden party. How do you think about it?
However, a garden marquee can easily turn your gathering into an incredibly unique and classy experience for you and classmates. All what you need to do is ask yourself a couple of questions about your party such as when and where you would like to have your gathering so that you can prepare it well no matter buying a new one or hire one.
And before setting up your tent, tidy and manicure the garden. Mow the lawn, pull any errant weeds and plant new blooming flowers in the beds. Wipe down any tables and chairs, and clean any upholstered furniture. Then, set up your family tents or pop up tents, and set out lanterns, candles or torches. Next, decide on food themes and serving styles. Buffets work best for mingling, but require slightly more food per person than a plated, served meal. Appetizers and cocktails suffice for non-meal party times, such as mid-afternoon or late evening party. Moreover, prepare food in advance and store inside the house until moments before guests are expected to arrive.
At last, there is a piece of tips for you, warn your neighbours of your impending party, particularly if it is likely to involve a late night, music and your brother in law pretending to be a rock star on the karaoke machine!...or better still, invite them, the more the merrier!
Hope you a nice garden party. Have fun!
