Our Insane Camping Checklist...

When I say insane, I seriously mean insane.  So,we bought a pop up camper.  Yeah... My husband sent me a google chat one day and sent me a link from one on craigslist.  I hadn't even known we were in the market for one (we have a 10 ? person tent) but an hour later my girl and I were in the car off to meet him to check it out.  And we bought it.

We go on one camping trip a year.  Sometimes two.  But the prospect of camping in a tent had me wanting anxiety meds and I believe it must have been affecting my hubs too.  So here is our checklist.  And sadly, I don't even think EVERYTHING is on this list.  It is our work in progress.  Hopefully, we don't forget anything important.  Like the kid.  Cuz I didn't per her on the list.  If we forget something, hopefully it won't be too bad cuz we will be with 50 some family members. ;)

Here is the list in all its glory...
