My husband and third son went camping in the backyard last weekend. It was my husband’s idea. He wanted to spend time one-on-one with each of our kids this summer. He is planning to go fishing with my second son, and he will be taking my oldest son to a robotics class for youth. He also plans to take my daughter to the local children’s museum. I love that my husband wants to spend time with our kids, and that he enjoys them.
It must have been fun for my son Nathaniel to lie down in a sleeping bag next to his dad’s sleeping bag, chatting as they fell asleep in the tent. There’s something about one-on-one time that makes a kid feel important, like he matters. It doesn’t even have to cost any money.
oh yes!! this is so fabulous!! we do this too and call it date night..the kids get to pick the activity..and amazingly it usually doesn’t cost $..one time my daughter wanted to ride up and down t he escalator and then go for ice-cream…..
good memories for everyone. good for your husband! and good for you and the kids too!!
My kids love camping, and this is one fun way to do it!
This is such a fun, very sweet idea. I love to see parents creating good memories with their kids!
Yes! Camping makes great memories!
