CAMPING SNACK MIX and FREE CAMPING CHECKLIST

Howdy!  Happy Friday!

We are about to pack up the car and attempt our first camping trip of the summer.  I'm hoping I have not forgotten anything and that it goes smoothly.   We are tent campers for now.  I really would love a camper, but that will come in time.  For now, it's just fun to get outside for an entire weekend and play!

Since we are packing up, I thought I would share with you my secret camping weapon.  It's sure to clam up whining and complaining of any kind.  SNACK MIX.  Yup, it's fun.  We serve it in plastic cups - just scoop some and eat.

Because it is in a cup, it will fit in the cup holder of your camp chair.  Easy, right?  We never really make it the same way twice.  I always take the kids to the store and let them choose what they want to mix in.  

We dump it all in a humongous bowl and just stir it up.  Here are the things we picked this time: M&Ms, Golden Grahams, Honey Nut Chex, Chocolate Teddy Grahams, Pretzel Sticks, raisins and peanuts.  

Yum! Yum!  We can't wait to eat some.  I swear I didn't eat any when I made it.  Well, maybe that's not the entire truth..... 

Just for fun too, I am sharing my camping checklist that I use for weekend trips.  (just click on the link to download the excel file.)  The hubs loves to cook breakfast, so that's our biggest meal.  The rest is just burgers and dogs. 

I am also a big fan of buying a veggie tray and making a fruit tray.  That way, the kids can snack on that stuff too.  Anything that's easy is the way to go!!  Now, if I could just survive enjoy the instant coffee, we will be OK.  I hope you have a great weekend!!

Enjoy!
