I would have forgotten and not think of some of the things on your list. Some other optional items: A hammer - to pound your stakes in (or you can always find and use a rock) A rake - to clean off your camp site from leaves, twigs, rocks and branches (esp., under your tent - you don't want to sleep with a rock poking at you!) Aloe Vera gel rub - in case you get sun burnt Don't forget some board/card games.. if you are into it. Great suggestions, Kimmy!

(not "what") A RUG- to wipe your feet off... (not "rub") ...BEACH towels and dish towels... (not "beath") I know there are other erros, but these are the ones I thought I might need to clarify. I figured you'd be able to figure out the other ones on your own pretty easily. BTW some of the things I listed for you haven't even made it on my own packing list yet. Watch me forget them. I might have to borrow a few things from you :) [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value. Can you tell I’m tired with all my spelling errors?!

…to hang up WET towels… (not “what”)

A RUG- to wipe your feet off… (not “rub”)

…BEACH towels and dish towels… (not “beath”)

I know there are other erros, but these are the ones I thought I might need to clarify. I figured you’d be able to figure out the other ones on your own pretty easily.

A broom- to sweep out the tent. They get pretty dirty quick, espicially with kids. A clothes line- to hang up what towels and swimsuits. A rub- to wipe your feet off before going into the tent. Towels and rags- beath towels and dish towels and dish rags. Hand sanatizer- for after using the bathroom. Bug spray and fly swatter- for getting rid and killing bugs. Table cloth- for a nice clean surface to eat off of and easier to clean than the wood surface of the picnic table. Garbage bags- to put your trash in. Lanterns and flashlights- for at night. Cooking utensils- that won't melt from the heat of the fire. Tea kettle- to warm up water for hot drinks or even for waching dishes with. Folding chairs (one for Ava too :) )- to sit around the fire. I'm sure there's more, but it's past 1a.m. and my eyes hurt from staying up so long. [WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value.

In point #1 you mention buying "pot" for the trip!!!LOL! Hope you all have a great time. It's lots of work camping with kids, but they really have a lot of fun. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return. What kind of camping trip is this going to be? In point #1 you mention buying “pot” for the trip!!!LOL! Hope you all have a great time.

We already have a tent, an air mattress, a sleeping bag for Jordan & Aubrey, a camping grill, and coolers. We still need to get a jug for drinking water (unless we borrow one from Jeb's parents'), gas tank for the grill, and camping chairs. I plan to bring the pack-n-play for Amberly to sleep on and do diaper changes. I just ordered a FP on-the-go potty (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K7IF1O/ref=ox_ya_oh_product) for the kids. I figured it will be easier and less 'scary' for them to go potty in the portable potty than the outhouse. I just hope it arrives before we leave for camping! For food, we plan to make kabobs for some of the meals. I still have to make out our meal menu for when we get our camping groceries.
