Thanks for the tips.

No problem with having enough kids to play with, we have 5 boys all under 9 yrs. They have a great time when not trying to kill each other.

We had a nice campfire in the back yard the other day until they got tired of toasting marshmallows and started playing with pointy, flaming sticks smile

I think we'll have to do a dry run at home first before we pack up and drive over to the nearest state park.

From a Special Needs Parent: So very true and so very wise!!!

Aloha,

Thanks for the invite. Unfortunately, I'm too busy earning my keep and won't be able to make the trip to Hawaii. If only I had won the MegaMillions lottery this past week. Life's sooooo rough. crazy

Your photos have given me an idea for a thread on the Around the Campfire board - favorite camping locations.

- Brian
