If family camping is a memory from your childhood, you know what it is like to prepare for an outdoor family event. Packing your favorite outdoor toys and games was something to look forward to. Games like Frisbee, bean bag toss or lawn darts were fun events for my family!

One of my favorite memories is when we would travel to my grandparents house and camp out on their lawn in our camper. We enjoyed each day with the games that we had brought, spending time together as a family, and our time boating on the lake. Our evenings would wrap up with a game of hide and seek and then a bonfire with our favorite treat, a smore, and sometimes watch fireworks!
