They ate hotdogs and smores on the fire and loved it. They tried eating hanburgers but were having fire trouble. The guys at the campstation next door brought Dave a wax lighter set to start his fire and it seemed to help. When we went camping (before kids) we sent up the tent in the house a few nights before and practiced. We also used an air matress to be more comfy. Hope this helps...<br />MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38916455.post-55596244796179539222012-03-06T16:17:19.572-05:002012-03-06T16:17:19.572-05:00While I have never been camping with the kids I do...While I have never been camping with the kids I do know that you can plan dinners that you cook in the fire. At church camp one year we did "banana boats" we took a banana left the peel on put a slice through the peel and the banana then we added mini chocolate chips and marshmallows. We wrapped the banana in foil and cooked it on the hot coals. It was then eaten with a spoon. We also did dinners in foil (we put our meat, veggies) in foil and let them cook together. You just have to dice or chop things so it cooks evenly. Also my husband was a boy scout so you can take an iron skillet or dutch oven and make things in the fire all day too. Things from cobbler to meals.starlightmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956021677862051890noreply@blogger.com
