Or would you like to introduce your kids to the fun of camping for the first time, but aren\u2019t sure if they will enjoy it, or might get scared? What about a backyard camping trip? Either way, camping out in your backyard will be a fun way to spend the evening and night with your kids.<\/p>\n<p>Get the kids involved in setting up camp in your backyard. Have them help you set up the tent. Put them in charge of getting their sleeping bags, flashlights and anything else they may need into the tent. If it\u2019s an option for you, you may even want to make a campfire in your backyard. Check with your fire department before hand if this is an option in your area. If not, just dig out the charcoal or gas grill. Grill some hotdogs and make some foil backed potatoes for dinner, and of course you\u2019ll need some s\u2019mores for desert. If you are roasting the marshmallows over your grill, put some aluminum foil over the grate to keep the melting marshmallow from dripping onto your grill.<\/p>\n<h2>Backyard Camping Trip &#8211; Living Room<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t have a tent, or even a backyard for that matter? That\u2019s no reason not to camp out. Just spread out your sleeping bags, or even just some blanket in the living room. Turn off the TV, radio and video games. If you have a fireplace, build a fire. Otherwise, order some pizza and pop some popcorn and you can even make s\u2019mores in the microwave.<\/p>\n<p>No matter where you decide to have your close to home camping trip, take some time to sit together and talk. Telling stories, whether a campfire is involved or not, is always fun. Your kids\u2019 imagination in creating new stories may surprise you. Don\u2019t forget to tell some handed down family tales.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, think back about your favorite camping memories and recreate them with your kids. Do you remember any good scary stories? Are there any games you enjoyed playing? What\u2019s your favorite card game?<\/p>\n<p>Have some fun with this, enjoy your kids and create some memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are your kids begging you to take them camping, but you just can\u2019t find the time to take them on a camping trip?
