The Food of Camping

What do you take to eat while camping? Besides trail mix to snack on (yumm), these are the things we brought on our latest camping trip.

While Jeremy was setting up the tent, we had a nice lunch of turkey sandwiches (with leftover turkey from a turkey dinner we had a couple days before- also yumm) and carrot sticks.

While Daddy was making the campfire, the kids enjoyed some watermelon- complete with spitting the black seeds out (hey, it's fun). It's a good thing we thought to bring the kids' "painting shirts" to keep their regular shirts from getting too much watermelon juice on them.

Roasting hot dogs over the fire for dinner. See the nice long sticks we got so the little kids didn't have to be too close to the fire.

Again, yumm. We had barbecue potato chips on the side.

And of course, how could you have a campfire without roasting marshmallows- especially when you make them into S'mores?

Jeremy of course was smart enough to think ahead and put several graham crackers out ready with chocolate on them for when the marshmallows came away from the fire.

I could have sworn there was chocolate on these graham crackers a minute ago. Kids?

In the morning, Jeremy made dutch oven breakfast for himself and me. We finally got to use our little dutch oven that was a gift at our wedding but had never even been taken out of the box before. We knew the kids wouldn't eat it, so we brought along some cereal and milk for them. That and we had some hot dogs we hadn't used the night before so we were able to roast some more for breakfast.

Yumm. Camping food.
