Computer Free Camping
Our camping holiday was a little simpler than what I intended. I couldn’t get a signal anywhere and we didn’t have access to a vehicle.
To top it off, our old coleman stove didn’t work because the tank was the wrong size. I suggested we use the lid of it to cook our food over the fire since it was metal. There was also a grill that fit along the top so between both we could fit two pots and a frying pan over the fire.
The first night we just roasted hotdogs on sticks over the fire, the second night I made burgers and baked potatoes wrapped in foil and the third night I made chili.
We also managed to make oatmeal, bacon and eggs, coffee, hot chocolate and soup.
Making smores was the most fun. We roasted our marshmallows and put them between two graham wafers along with some chocolate chips.
It was great to get away from everything and we did a lot of walking, a little fishing and some swimming. Monday night there was a huge thunderstorm and at one point it was so loud I swear lightening stuck right beside us.
The kids found this great spot behind the campsite with soft grass so they asked if they could go there to chill. I said sure but they came flying back straight away because there was a skunk there who also liked the spot.
It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and I was happy because he finally caught a couple fish. I was starting to wonder if I had steered him wrong about fishing there but I guess it just takes time. It probably helped that he was alone this time because when we were with him we probably scared the fish away with all our racket.
that’s a great post. I miss camping

Thanks for visiting my Wordless Wednesday Camping pictures. Isn’t camping fun? I can’t wait until my boys get bigger so we don’t have to watch them every moment. But at 2 and 4.5 years old, they did great for 2 days and 2 nights.
I’m glad you had fun too, and it is so nice to get away, even if it is for just a few days.

It’s a blast. I would like to do it more often. I was so active I was sore for days. We spent three nights but before that hiked all over Canada’s Wonderland. I can imagine it would be a little more challenging with little ones but it’s great experience for them.
