I don’t even know what to tell you. There is not a lot of places for boxes to go missing around here. But we have lost some camping stuff and it is nowhere to be found! I am coming to terms with the fact that they are officially gone, not worth ANY more sweat to search for, and that its time to just buy new. Le sigh.
Those items include a whole box of bug spray, sunscreen, and some pretty solar lights. They’re easily the biggest loss of that box. Also, we lots ALL the linens we used last year. As in six full sheet sets, and a king sized duvet cover. We have NO idea where they are.
So today was the day to bite the bullet and do the big shop to get us set up for camping yet again. We spend $450 at Walmart, buying groceries, sheets, lake water bottles, double of vitamins, etc etc etc. We would normally go to Costco for a lot of things, but reading online that the lineups went aaaaall the way to the back of the store, we opted to do all we could at Walmart and leave Costco for a different day.
The only thing we left before was some kind of ice cream treat. I was thinking fudgsicles. But I was worried they wouldn’t make it home since we were sans cooler. But we’ll get there.
I think we have most of what we need. I have a water cooler worked out (thank you, Kim!) to pick up next week, which will save a HUGE amount of space and hassle! I have one kids helmet and am on the hunt for four more so the kids have helmets both at home and at the lake. I even have a booster seat in the works (Thank you, Ang!), which is absolutely something that would improve our summer drives! Lots of things are coming together beautifully 🙂 I’m still hoping to find some light summery quilts for the kids who hate sleeping bags. Lol! We’ll see what we can find.
The kids are SO excited to get to the lake this weekend, and so are we!! The rain can stay until we get there, but then I anticipate good weather, and sun, with lots of productivity and campfires and dirt, hahaha! Aaaaany minute now!
