13. Camp out! At home.
šYour back yard.
Oh yes! Thatās what we did last night āŗļø
š„³Fun factor: braai, toasted marshmallows, swimming into the night, star gazing. Dezember vibes are here!
šš¾āāļøFitness level required: n/a
š§š¾ Suitability for kids: every little person needs at least one (home) camping experience in their life!
šøCost: thatās the best part – nada, mahala, freelimo. In fairness though, youāll need to buy or borrow a tent.
𤩠What we loved most:
– You donāt need to leave your home to explore outdoors, have an adventure & make memories. Hello stay-cation.
– Consider this an alternative to glamping. You get the outdoor camping experience but with clean ablution facilities, running water & when itās time to sleep, the parents do it indoors on a bed #winning .
š¦Reality check: some of us go ācampingā every time we go to our home village (ie where thereās no electricity, running water or 800 thread count bedding). So we know that āletās-pay-money-to-sleep-in-a-tent-outsideā camping isnāt for everyone and thatās why this worked for us.
We also scored some serious all round family points. Nephews didnāt want to leave. Their parents were loving us for the child-free night. And the kids woke up asking āCan we do that again soon, Mama?ā
#highfive all round! Do try the camp at home experience this summer. The pleasure is ours š
P.s weāll be calling in the favour when we need a child free night-nyana. After all, keDezember!
šš½ check out Instagram highlight #13 for more pics of our outdoor home adventure. In truth, we were so into the moment we forgot to stop to take Insta pics. Weāll be more focused next time š
