This is a great list. It is so funny you posted this today. Hubby and I are just starting up our business and were talking about going camping after Memorial Day to avoid crowds and I was starting to make my list and menu. THANK YOU! These all sound great. I love all the pictures you have posted of your sweet family. What fun memories they will have from this.

wire cutters to cut through no trespassing fences?
ReplyDeleteGreat list! We take so many things when we go camping too. I like to be organized and prepared even if it is for a few days.
ReplyDeleteWe just survived camping as a family (in 45-degree weather in August, no less!). My fav supply is one that covers dishsoap, handsoap, bug repellent, shampoo and body wash in one bottle. Find it here: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2009/09/03/a-must-have-supply-for-camping/
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can find it in Mexico, but it's awesome! :) Katie
