Many families go on short weekend trips with their children, and this can be a great way to make memories. While waterparks are a popular travel destination, camping can be an inexpensive trip for all families. Here are some great travel tips for your next family camping vacation.

1. Plan easy campfire meals:

Part of camping includes campfires, and children really enjoy helping to prepare meals. Bring along some easy meals you can cook over the campfires, such as hotdogs and foil dinners. Everyone will enjoy being a part of meal preparation and cleanup is a breeze when you cook over the fire.

2. Plan some fun outdoor games for the kids:

While your children will be thrilled with exploring the outdoors, don’t forget to bring some games for them. Bring a kickball, jump ropes, and bottles of bubbles for your kids to play with while you are setting up the campsite. They will be entertained while you take care of getting everything ready for the weekend.
Another option for games is making a simple scavenger hunt or I Spy game related to outdoors. You can print these off the Internet or make one up yourself. Your children will love these games, as they are unique and gets them involved in the outdoor environment.

3. Don’t forget your laptop and mobile hotspot:

For relaxing evenings after the sun goes down, don’t forget to bring your laptop and mobile hotspot. While you might think these don’t really have a place on a camping trip, they are a great thing to bring with for a weekend trip. You can set up a video for your children to watch after they enjoy s’mores so they can unwind before crawling in the tent for the evening. This is a unique item to bring camping and you will be sure to use this in the evenings or on rainy days.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
