My family and I are going camping this weekend. My husband and I haven’t been camping for 20 years and this will be our kids first trip (not counting pitching a tent in our own back yard). We don’t know what we are doing, don’t know what we are eating, and can’t find our sleeping bags at the moment. Despite that, he trip planning is progressing and coming together. So well that this post is dedicated to the fact that we will not starve out in the wilderness. So don’t worry mom, your grandchildren will be fine. Yes I am bringing the sunscreen. Our food menu kept changing because I wanted to move away from the usual hot dogs and do something unusual and fun. I found this recipe for grilled shrimp skewers that looks yummy, totally do-able, and my kids will eat it. Appetizers = done.
