I have a quick tip that helped these type of situations. The price will vary but it can last a while. Go to Target or Wall mart and visit the sporting goods section. There is a section of the store that has items like Zim Zam, Giant Badminton, Trac Ball, etc. They usually cost between $10.00 and $30.00 a game. We have all of these and our camp spot sometimes turns into a really fun place. It raises the moral for the whole family if the park is bare and it is also inviting for others to come visit. The kids will make friends quicker.

     If you have a dare devil for a child, you can bring one or two of those portable plastic bike ramps. They run about $35.00 a piece. Don’t forget the helmets.

Have a great time.

This all sounds great but there is some evil behind this sense of peace. The evil is beach sand. The more kids that you have, the more sand you are going to find in every corner of your rig when the trip is over. The biggest outdoor carpet cannot stop these small grains. Even if you just put your feet in the water, the stuff gets everywhere.

Now here is the tip. On the edge of your outdoor carpet, line up two small containers in which can put your feet in. Also have a cup, chair and towel. You can rinse off your feet before going in. You may only need one bucket but two is nice incase one gets very dirty. The beach sand will sink to the bottom so the water will usually stay clean for the next use.

If you are gong to the beach, trust me on this one. You will only ignore this tip once.

Have a great time.
