Cars aren't big enough to fit dogs and camping gear in, my problem shoulder isn't up to anything longer than an hour which is how long we'd need to drive for to get anywhere decent so can't take two cars, we'd have to organise someone to feed the cats and chickens (I suppose if they were willing to walk the dogs they could look after the dogs too), I'm not sure if the vege patches still need watering (obviously the aquaponics doesn't), middle child will whine because she doesn't like camping (when she was little she enjoyed being out for the day and playing with her friends but each time we went camping when it came time to sleep in the tent she'd bawl her eyes out desperate to go home).
Much too hard XD
Hmm, yeah it sounds like you're fairly well entrenched there. Maybe some camping in the back yard though?
The kids sometimes have sleepovers on the trampoline. Toasting marshmallows on the stove doesn't quite have the same feel but the end result is still tasty XD
Just to have the imagination and interest to do something like that can be valuable I think. Sometimes it's the simple things that mean the most.
