Sometimes, it’s up to you to create something fun and exciting.
Watch and learn.
If you have kids, finding fun things to do while you’re out and about is crucial to both their happiness, and your sanity.
That looks pretty good!
Time to watch this idea grow big!
Just takes a little planning and patience, and you’ll have something fun for the kids in no time!
Okay, almost ready!
Kids, get ready to have some fun!
Any guesses as to what this is?
While it looks like a pile of sand, it’s actually something thrilling for the kids!
It sure is dark way out here!!
Ahh.
You look tired, sweetheart, lay down!
Hmm… Hope there aren’t bears out here.
Ah, nice and cozy.
I’m so glad we’re doing this.
Is Lily asleep already?
Gotta love a tuckered-out kid on vacation.
And I’m pretty exhausted myself…
Just gonna rest my eyes…
Huh?! What’s going on out there?
It’s a monster!!
Look at those giant claws!
Does it know that we’re in here?
Mom!! Wake up!!
I just fell asleep…hm….
If you won’t save me, who will?
Oh no!! I think it’s getting even closer!!
It’s trying to get in the tent!! Ahhh!! AHHH!!!
Huh? Who’s yelling?
Lily! What’s the matter?
There’s a big monster with giant claws!
He’s right outside!!
Use this light to see a little better.
I never like being in the dark.
This is better, right?
Huh? What the… AHHH!!!
AHH!!!
Oh gosh, your face just scared me.
This is just too bright.
But I can fix that!!
Use an empty milk or water carton,
And stick the light right on in!
Fix it so it doesn’t move around,
And that should soften the light a bit.
Isn’t this nice?
No more dark!!
I think I feel much better now!
No monsters are coming inside this tent!!
Huh? I thought I heard something… Hmm…
Sleep tight, my little humans…
What, I don’t bite!
Onto the next campsite!
It must be a thousand degrees out here!
That water sure looks appetizing.
Yep!! Hey sweetie, let’s go in the water!
I’ll race ya!!
Be right there!!
Wow, she sure looks pretty on the beach!!
This breeze is spectacular!
MOM!! Wait!!
Ooh! It’s ice cold!
You sure you wanna go in?
Hold on.
What? Why?
Hop on! It’s way better this way.
Cool! Let’s do it!!
I wanna get it!
I thought she’d like floating on that thing.
Wow! This is really relaxing.
Wait… I forgot to put on my sunscreen!!
I think that’s bad!
But I’m so far away!
Ahh.
Hey, Mommy?
Yes?
Mommy my skin is on fire!!! It hurts.
Oh no, that’s terrible!
Looks like you got yourself a sunburn.
GAH! Ahhh.
Oh! That must really hurt.
But help is on the way!
There! Those sun rays are gonna bother you now.
Much better.
Hmm… I just have one more idea for you.
C’mon, this way!
Set the raft down right over here. Nice.
Now we just need one more piece.
The tent! Just tie it here so it doesn’t fall off in the water.
And make sure the knot is tied tight.
And let’s take it for a test drive!
Easy there…
Ooh, I’m pretty good at this!
Hi, Mom!
Oh! You look great over there, honey!!
You don’t look red at all!
Ooh, wish I could say the same.
Another day, more to pack!
And first, comes lunch.
Can’t forget my favorite flavor jam.
Nice. I’m taking a more aggressive packing approach.
I need my bow, and my hammer, duh.
Now we’re talking!
Ooh! Can I take these matches?
I never say no to a little bit of heat!
OH! I don’t know if that’s such a good idea…
Let the games begin!
Man makes FIRE!!
Oh! Nope, definitely not a good idea. I’ll take that.
That could’ve ended very, very badly.
But I think I know what to do with these.
But first, out with the matches.
And in with the chocolate!
And pretzel sticks!
Just dip them right on into the bowl.
Looks pretty yummy, doesn’t it?
Then put them back in the box.
These will be super good later!
Oh, sweetheart? Mind if I read a little bit?
HEY!! I wonder what else is in this thing?
Are those my matches?
I was hoping they’d be in there!
Let’s light up one of these bad boys!
Haha! Wait, is that… Chocolate?
Woah. Hmm… Oh, this is way better than a match stick!
Mm! This thing tastes awesome! I approve!
My sneaky little trick worked!
Best mom alert!
And nothing caught on fire.
Whew! I feel like I’m melting!
I could use a drink!
Got you covered, honey.
And it’s my favorite soda too!
Mmm!! Mm-hmm. Ahh. Another one?
You really are thirsty, aren’t you?
Good thing I brought my hydration station!
It’s all yours, honey!
Mmm.
Ah. Sweet relief!
Woah!! I gotta find a bathroom, STAT!
Oh boy… I don’t know! But I guess I could make something…
But first, I’ve got to do a little preparation.
Whew, that’s pretty good!
Just gotta put the plastic lining in,
And it’s good to go!
And so am I!
Phew!
Take all the time you need, sweetie!
I’ll just be here!
Did we pick the perfect day to picnic or what?
This spot seems just perfect, doesn’t it?
Yep, this is definitely the spot!
Trust me, this is going to be perfect.
Ready to lay this down?
And I brought all of our favorite snacks!
So let’s get to it!!
Nothing like the right atmosphere to enjoy my favorite novel.
Now here’s where I left off.
Um, do you mind if I play over there?
Great! See ya!! Woohoo!!
Look at me! Yeah!!
I have so much space out here! Awesome!! Whew!!
Okay, I gotta take a little rest.
Hey, Mommy?
Not now, honey, give me a minute.
Whatever. Grass is meant to be felt with your toes!
Yes!! Oh… What did I just step on?
AHHH!!!!
My goodness…
MOM!! Something is stabbing the bottom of my foot!! SEE IT?!
I uh…
AHHH!!! - AHHH!!!
AHH!!
Hold on. Breathe.
I’m the adult here. I got it!!
Good thing I brought my first-aid kit!
And this won’t hurt one bit.
I’m going in!
The syringe is gonna do all the work!
Now I just pull it out with suction.
This thing works like a charm, right?
You can kiss this splinter goodbye.
Unless you wanna keep it.
Wow!! I feel so much better.
I’m gonna go play!
But not before you put on your shoes!
Do you understand?
I don’t mind putting them on at all!
I sure learned my lesson.
Now if only I could tie ‘em…
Man, I’ve never been so hungry!
Ooh…
Why are there so many bugs here?
Ugh!! One got me!
It really stings!
And now it itches!!
I can’t believe this!
Oh! That ought to feel really good!!
Uh-huh… Oh, sweet relief!! Ahh.
Honey? I made your favorite turkey sandwich!
Mmm! Great!! Thanks!
Mm…yum!!
And dessert?! Mmm!!!
More sugar!! Mm-hmm… YUM!!!
So crunchy…
Now I’m full. Oh yeah.
Juice?
Ugh! Oh man… Your teeth!!
I know I brought a toothbrush…
What happened to this thing?!
I guess we have to wait till we get home.
Oh well.
Or you can just use these things!
Isn’t it cute?
You just put the toothpaste on here,
And it’s ready to go, see? You try!
Go on, just bite on it, okay?
May as well try it!
Hmm…I think it’s working!!
What do you think? Ta-da!
Ugh! Stupid mosquitos!
GAH!! It bit me!!
Those really itch!
Nothing this bad boy can’t handle!
My toothbrush? This is silly!
Or totally genius!!
Hmm…
Think these hacks would come in handy on your next outdoor adventure?
