Camping trip

For one wet night in June, this was our home. We decided to go on our first camping trip with the bys for their half birthday - a while six months old!


The boys we kind enough to remain sleeping in the car during the tent build. This is Sam in a rather fetching Wee-Willie-Winkie esque hat. Fines still in the car. We did soon realise that maybe we should have got the slightly bigger tent after filling it with pushchair, two bumbos, two bassinets for sleeping, our sleeping stuff, chairs, table, and other bits and bobs.

Once we were fully unloaded, it rained. It rained heavily. We went into the farm park in the hope that the rain would subside and we could show the boys some animals but it didn't. So we visited the animal petting area and then got some food to settle in for the night.

Fresh air helps babies sleep! Amazing!

Next day we visited the animals again. Sam and Fin were awake and very interests in the Baas, moos, clucks and quacks around them. Not that you can see that in the pictures.




This day was a lot more successful. I even made a friend. I fed baby lambs and goats and we had a lovely walk over the farm looking at all the animals. Definitely a place for taking young children. There's so much to look and great play areas and open space for little ones to run. Maybe we will retune next year for their 18 month birthday. 


In conclusion, camping with two six months old is totally doable. The fresh air tires them out and they are mesmerised by the floaty tent material and the sounds of animals. Can't wait until next time!
